Lower Body Lift update

I'm home recovering. I feel like the pillsbury dough boy. I'm so swollen and the compression garment is so tight. I hope it will will be all worth it in the end. I made the mistake of weighing myself this morning. I thought I would try it since they removed 9 pounds of skin, plus what ever they took out with the liposuction. I was up 2 pounds from before I had the plastic surgery. The one thing that is a plus is I don't have to lift up my stomach flap anymore when I use the restroom, and I can see my vajayjay, that is kind of weird(TMI). I am a little nervous because my husband goes back to work next week and I have to take care of both boys by myself. Wish me luck. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and words of comfort.

Hi Dianna,

I am truly so happy for you, despite how uncomfortable you might be these days.  I'm thrilled you went for it and had this procedure done.  Bravo to you!  Keep us posted when you can as you'll be a great resouce for others in our group considering a body lift.  I think you are the third one in our group, but I could be wrong.  Hard to keep up with each other. 

All my best to you,
Kimberlee

Oh good luck! did you use the same plastic surgeon Dr. Macnemar? (SP) I am thinking of going to him.
Best Recovery to you!!!

I ended up going with Dr. Kaufman in Folsom. I really like him. I have a follow up appointment this Thursday. Here is his website. http://www.thenaturalresult.com/ Thanks.
