My lower body lift.
Hi everyone,
I am now three and a half weeks out from my Lower body lift. I got to see Alice last Wednesday in the lobby of our Plastic Surgeons office. Alice you looked FANTASTIC!!! Anyways Dr. Garrison took three pounds of loose skin off me and pulled me super tight. I cannot believe how amazing this procedure is!! I now have a super flat and tight stomach, a new belly button and no more saggy ass or outer thighs! LOL I got pumped with so much fluid I GAINED 13 lbs!! But it is now all off and back to *normal*
I have had other large plastic procedures in the past, I have to say this one was the toughest to recover from. I am glad I took two weeks off and had my hubby feed me pain pills around the clock. The first week I thought I would never stand up straight again. For those of you who have had RNY, think of the pain in your side where they stapled the muscle. Think of that widespread over your entire stomach area.
The Doctor admits she thought they over did me, and she was worried they pulled me too tight, she said they almost left a incision around my belly button in case they had to go back in and loosen things up. My loser back felt like it was being strangled. Five days post op I got three of the four drains out.
For my old friends here who know about me and my tiny veins.... I am happy to report that the Anesthiaologist started my IV in one stick
I will be a month out on February 5th. My skin is still a bit swollen and the scar line is healing up nicely. It is great to see all the old faces and a bunch of the new!! Thanks for letting me share!!

Darcie,
I'm so happy for you! You looked great before and I'm sure you look amazing now! I'm glad they anestiaologist was able to start your IV the first stick, digging around sucks! A bunch of us went to O'Charlies tonight, it was nice to see the old faces and some of the new too. Wish you could have been there also! Hopefully next time!
Hugs!

((((Darcie)))),
I'm just delighted to see your post and I'm glad to hear that you are doing so well! If I ever get the money, then can squirrel up the courage, I'd love to do what you and Alice have done. I'm so glad to hear that you are so pleased with your results and I'm sure that it will just improve with time.
Wishing you all the best,
