Plastics update - one week out

HI!!!!

Ok - I am being VERY transparent with my plastics journey b/c well.. not many feel they can b/c of fear of showing their body and totally TOTALLY Understandable and without a doubt I do NOT blame them.  It is huge to show your body fully ahem.. nude.

For those of you who will embark on plastics someday or are thinking of it or will be doing it in the near future, if you want to see pictures of me both preop and recently postop (very graphic do be warned - I am a nurse so this stuff does not phase me and I honestly just do not care and I realize it can be offensive to some) they are posted on my profile.

You must be a "friend" of mine on OH to view.  I have shared with the PS board and want to do this with my December board b/c u are my family.  I want you to know exactly what you would be getting into.

I had a lower body lift on April 28th, you are cut all the way around the body.  It tightens the abdominal muscles (abdominoplasty = tummy tuck) bring up the outer hips/thighs and buttocks - I didn't need as much lifting in those areas as some.  You basically have a large belt of skin removed where it is severed all the way around and brought back together (Pulled down).

I had 4 drains, they are gone now, I got them out WAY earlier than most patients and I am ecstatic about that.  Most keep them in 3-4 weeks and with my doc u cannot shower until they are out. They also said my incisions are healing at a great rate!  I attribute this to my high protein diet, exercise regimen preop and being diligent with vitamin supplementation.  Basically just taking good care of myself since my RNY surgery.  

So if you want to see and are not a friend request me and I will add you.  Again, graphic.. very.  Do not have children or husbands around or anyone else :)  There are preop (lots) and postop - 1 week pics posted.

Hugs, love you guys so much!

OMGoodness  WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!  AND JUST WAIT TIL THE SWELLING GOES DOWN  YOU WILL BE A HOT LIL MOMMA  LOL

TAKE CARE
MINI ME

You have done so well, and are so brave to show the pics!  I cannot imagine how much better you feel about the outcome!  Truly amazing and gives the rest of us hope!

Thanks.. I know most would never do this but I really want people to undersatnd and in time I will remove them most likely and just send to those I feel I can trust and are interested. But for now, all my friends can view.  

Thanks so much!!!
