Well, my second round of surgery went along pretty well. I did end up with a hematoma the night of my surgery & had to go back in for that. Was a short 45 minute surgery tho, not too bad. I was really out of it for about 3 days & have been tired all week, sorry I never posted! Yesterday all of a sudden I felt GREAT! I think it just takes me a while to get the anesthesia out of my system, it just wipes me out. I'm pretty sore but that's about it. They did go back on my right thigh & do some modifications on it, looks AWESOME now! If I ever figure out how to post pics, I will!

This recovery has been so much smoother than last time, man........those thighs, butt & tummy are a killer!

I am so excited. I look awesome for what is the first time in my life! I go back to work on Tuesday after the holiday. Was able to go off the pain meds about 5 days out and have a lot more energy now that I've gotten off of them.

I feel so much better, this is the BEST thing I have ever done for MYSELF!

Continued success with the great recovery. Be gentle with yourself. I think as women we always push ourselves too far too fast. Enjoy your new body!

Congrats!

Take good care.
