sorry for the late getting back with you..I just found the email notification in the spam section of my email..And I know you are not spam!!!
The session was good. He stressed safety. They do one piece of surgery at a time..they don't do the whole body in one shot. A big thing he stressed is that our skin has been pulled and is thin like tissue paper..so to sew it together it is hard for the stitches to stay. for the legs this can be an issue for there is still meat on the legs. 30percent of people have open wound sores..and they can be tricky for the skin is so far removed form our core body that antibiotics don't work well. Also, he wants people to be at their goal weight for the best results and they need to have all their blood work in order: diabetes under control, blood pressure under control, protein counts up high and all vitamin counts in order for a healthy recovery.
they had before and after pics....quite impressive. but ...I will say I am not at the point to sign up...or I am sure I will sign up until I try spanks!
