X-Post: Mission Accomplished!!!
I have completed Phase One of thigh skin reduction!
After getting me into surgery, and looking at the extent of work that needs to be done, my surgeon has decided to stage my surgeries. He is of the opinion that all at once would have been too taxing to my system, since I have SLE and Fibromyalgia.
The process was not picture perfect. My left thigh is leaking lymph fluid, and I will be gong to a wound care center every day until this heals. The right leg is healing normally.
They don't look that much smaller to me, but contour and symmetry was what I was after, not necessarily a reduction in size.
Perhaps once the swelling goes down they will look different.
The bonus in all of this is that I was in the hospital for the duration of the polar vortex that put the Midwest and East in the deep freeze for a week!
