X-Post - First post-LBL Photo (In Profile)

I couldn't help myself.  It's been three days since my LBL and I decided to take a self-portrait while lying in bed to see what I look like.  Seems pretty awesome but what do I know.  Thank you Dr. Jerome Edelstein (plastic surgeon and Grade 7 classmate).  The pain continues to be quite reasonable and i'm completely mobile and self-sufficient - much different than post-DS.  Very happy.  Thanks everyone for your support.  (P.S. The pic is moderately revealing and you can see the drains so if you're into modesty or are quesy, feel free to pass).

Hi there,

Thanks for sharing, did you have an anchor cut? Also wishing you a speedy recovery!

I'm not sure the technical term.  It looks like an anchor shape but goes all the way around and the bottom part of the body is lifted along with the top pulled down and in and the stomach muscles tightened. 

Your surgeon did an incredible job.  Congrats.

You look fabulous and soooo flat.   Really nice job.   Don't mean to be nosy but were you covered for insurance for any of it or did you have to pay OOP?   Congrats!

It was virtually all OOP, but that's okay.  I always knew it would be.  Thanks for the comments.

I have seventh grade students.  It's very hard for me to believe that ANYONE who has been in seventh grade, at any time ever, could possibly be qualified to perform anything more than a booger-fling.

Glad you're doing well!

This gave me the chuckles.. lol

You look fantastic!!

You look spectacular, congrats!
