and the view at your own risk...TT the day before & after.....

You're looking fantastic. How are you feeling?

If I didn't think I was 20 I would be fine LOL
I get tired pretty easy, and get sent to the recliner by my hubby to rest. As a result my house is just OMG!!!
I am so ready to be 100% so I can whip this place into shape and hit the gym!

all in all it has not been too bad pain wise and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Is it too soon to notice much difference in your clothes?

Lois

in shirts it is already a big difference ... I am in a 12 in the pic and it fits really good and just how they are supposed to with no muffin top! whoot!

 The TT looks ouchy but wow. Your arms look incredible too.  

The TT was not bad at all... the arms are sore big time.

But it all gets better each day that passes.

Thank you so much for sharing!!!!  I am so ready to have this done.  Can I ask how many lbs they said you lost from it?  I think you said in another post but I can't remember.  They told me it would be 10 - 12 lbs and I'm just wondering how accurate that is.  I'm so happy for you and you look great!  As the swelling goes down and you get your energy back it is going to be so incredible for you!  Congratulations.

I asked Monday at my follow up and he said this

10lb skin/tissue from tummy
2.5+ tissue from both arms
and he thought close to 10 in fluid/lipo but would have to check the file for sure.

so maybe 20 or so. I am floating on the scale with the swelling, the more I try to do the more I swell and so on and so forth.

I am thrilled with the outcome so far.

I highly recommed Dr Nuveen to anyone, he is very professional, kind and caring and a class act. His staff is wonderful and the sweetest bunch of ladies I have ever met.
His facility is 1st class and his overnight suite is very comfortable for the patient and guest.

Thanks!  Again - so happy for you!  I've had 2 consultations with 2 different docs. I am getting a 3rd from Dr. Suann (sp?) because my WLS doc really recommends him for OKC patients.  I'm trying to figure out how much more weight to lose because if I want to end up at 150 and I'm 168 now then maybe I should stop beating myself up on this last 18 lbs and let the surgery take care of it.  Either way I have it in my head that October will be my month.
