VSG on 06/04/09 with
 "Come see my belly!" (Said in Austin Powers Fat ******* voice...)

I have 2 videos...I recorded them forever ago but with my wedding and all Ive been SUPER busy! I think Im 10 weeks out by this point lol. 

Weeks 5/6: Week 5 was a turning point for me as far as pain. Week 6 was random nerve pain in my arms. Kind of sucked. Video here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts6tyClRb28 

Weeks 7/8: Swelling was going down up until wedding then BOOM I look pregnant a day later (luckily my dress fit lol)....and it doesnt seem to be letting up. Not even in the morning. So when you hear swell hell I think I got it - its not just the normal night time swelling. Dr. says everyone is different...some people are swellers. Video here (I show my swollenness):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzFwv0X2reY&feature=youtu.be 

Lastly...for my booty....sadly it keeps getting smaller :( Its still better than it was...but I was really liking my ba-dunk-a-dunk.

Congrats on the wedding!!! I wish your marriage a long and
happy one.

Your tummy scar looks great!! I completely understand about the
swelling.

Your videos have really helped me, so thank you for putting
them up.

Enjoy that new body and that new hubby!!!

 Mazel Tov on your wedding!

Thank you for posting all of your videos. They have been a great help to me as I prepared for my TT/thigh lift (7/16). People couldn't believe how well-prepared I was as far as stocking the house with medical and other supplies -- of course, I made my shopping list from your video!

All the best as you continue to heal...and as you embark on married life!

I jus****ched your latest video -- I know exactly what you mean about the numbness. I had my LBL 5 years ago, and unfortunately for me I still have not gotten back the feeling from top of thigh to waist in most places around the outer body. So when I get an itch, I also cannot get to it. Very frustrating still. If I walk into a pool, I feel the cold until I get to that spot and then feel no cold at all. So weird. Sometimes I even feel like my pants are tight, and I'll reach down to see and they are loose. Its just my insides feeling tight for some reason. I also still have numbness where the scars are from my arm lift at the same time.

Swelling or not, you look great -- very smooth surgery.

Congratulations to you for everything. Thank you for posting all of your videos. They have really helped me along the way! Hope you have a fantastic honeymoon. Thanks!

By the way, not sure how you feel about pineapple but it helps with swelling. I ate about 1/2 cup of fresh cut every day and it helped a lot!

I just went back and watched all your videos. You look great! I'm recovering from a TT and hernia repair and it was reassuring to hear you comments. I'm still sleeping in my "nest".

Thank you.
