39 hours and counting.........

39 hours from now - all that extra tissue and skin that is a constant reminder of the old life is gone forever.  I'm just sayin'.............................

Isn't it wonderful that we have the option of having an LBL and don't have to live with all that hanging tissue and the problems it causes?

Good luck for your surgery.

Prayers for a safe and successful surgery.  36 days for me...

Wishing you a smooth surgery and speedy recovery!  I'm right behind you with an LBL coming up on Monday.

I am 6 days out (fleur-de-lis, hernia repair, panniculectomy, boob lift) and feeling pretty good.  The incisions all over my front are a bit daunting but so far no complications.  Each day I feel a little better.

Advice so far:
Bring REALLY loose clothing to the hospital (button-up shirt)
Having your period the day of surgery is not horrible - hospital can manage
Going home early the next morning is not terribly horrible - pain meds made 1.5 hour car ride home ok.
Be sure to have home care planned (e.g. recliner, pillows, sleeping, caretaker) - I could have been more organized.
Take pain meds bu****ch total Tylenol dose per day
Have sports bra purchase done (snap or zipper front) for first recheck
Have "easy" foods at home - I felt like liquid/soft food post-GB until last night.

So far, very happy with the results.

Well, I had my 360 tummy tuck and triple hernia repair last Thursday and everything went GREAT.  All of that extra tissue and skin that WAS a constant reminder of the old life is gone forever, Everything went GREAT!  Dr Syn has truly changed my life.  He Gave me the tool I needed to lose my weight and now he has fixed my hernias and taken off the extra skin.  He showed me that he is a TRUE ARTIST with my 360 tummy tuck and buttocks lift.  I appreciate him more than he will ever know! 

This is one of the three best decisions i have made regarding my body - Ruen Y - breast lift/augmentation and lower body lift!  yes - it does make a CONSIDERABLE difference

it was hard - but, i'm over the hump and it is lookin great!

they say the swelling lasts 6 months?  i cant imagine how slender i will be then?

PS  i have been consistantly weighing 135 pounds at MD office since the procedure - all of that extra skin makes it hard to maintain your weight - i guess because of fluid balances and shifts!
