Plastics Recovery Update -- one pic -- LONG
You look beyond awesome!!
i had a full incision seroma with my last pregnancy (c-section)
although it was horrifying..the not knowing really, since it never happened to me before.
having to be packed everyday, and the natural healing..
in the end my scar is no worse for wear..and didn't heal oddly at all..
just keep it as clean as possible..
feel better!!
I saw your post earlier in the day.... I thought this was a read for tonight with a cup of coffee.....
Compliments !
You look great !

You look absolutely stunning! I'm sorry you had to deal with the scary complications, and I hope you heal up quickly.

You look like a model! Holy cow
Seeing this and reading your posts makes me hopeful for the future. I am terrified of plastics, even more so than the VSG, so knowing the process is actually doable and has amazing results is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Stacy - I just wrote this LONG ASS REPLY and OH somehow lost it - GRRRRR!!!
ANYway, you look fircken AWESOME - what a vampy pose - woohoo!
Also, I was referred to you by others as I'm wanting plastics done over the summer and I'm researching Dr. S. He appears to have a good reputation. I'm wanting breasts (w/o implants I'd be a B - from a saggy DDD so not sure what I'll do there!), a LBL, arms for sure (mine are a MESS), and maybe a thigh lift (front). Where are the scars for a thing lift? Will they show in a bathing suit?
If you have pics and you're comfortable sharing them, PM me... but only if you're comfy with that. I'm a teacher and my goal is this summer for all that.
I'm so surprised you weren't in massive pain from all the work you had done at once - wow! That's my big fear - not pain per se, but SO much of it at once, and yet, you seem to not have issues... wow... that makes me feel great!
Sorry about your complication but overall, I'd say you were a huge success!
Thanks so much for sharing your story. And if this post shows up twice, blame OH!
The scar may show a little in a bathing suit. I will take some pics at some point -- I'm going to the beach in January, so if I need to wait until then I might. The scar is mostly on the crease, but it pulls down a little. I really think it will be barely noticable.
I would recommend Dr. S. He is very caring and skilled. Medical Tourism is hard. But the idea of being sent home from the hospital w/o support in Chicago would also have been hard.
The recovery for me has been tough -- not b/c of pain but because of fatigue and boredom. I am so not used to not being able to do things and that is very hard for me.
Good luck! :)
