Belt Lipectomy on 9/16 posted pics

Hi all! I have been apart of the obesity help community for some time now.  I recently had a belt lipectomy and breast augmentation on 9/16.   I wanted to post some pics just in case anybody else was having the same thing done or has had the same done.  I haven't seen a lot post about belt lipectomy's.  I am still very swollen in the tummy, but so far very happy with my results.

Hi Michelle...you look great. Congratulations!

Thank you!!! I am trying to get back to my normal self with everyday!!! 

hi michelle....i have a few questions....well first congrats on the new body and you look good and i cant wait to see the results in a few months...
well my questions are
U had surgery at MAMC and i was wondering what surgeon you had,
was it painful
how long was the wait list
and how long did the surgery take?
we were stationed at lewis for 6 years and just left from there last october to frosty alaska and i am due to go down to MAMC hopefully before the years end to have a LBL and a breast reduction..and ive been talking back and forth with col.walker... well just was wondering..... and again congrats and you look good...

Thank you! I can't wait to see the end results myself.  Dr. Walker did my surgery and I feel he did a wonderful job.  I didn't think it was to painful, but I feel I have a very high pain tolerance.  The only things was the first two days it was very hard to get up and out of bed at the hospital, I needed assistance every time i wanted to get up.  Which Dr Walker had recommended anyway and would not allow me out of bed alone. As far as the wait list goes, I had my referral put in and waited 90 days, then I had to re submit my referral and about a month later I was called for my consult. At the consult Dr. Walker asked me when I was looking to have it done and because I had explained to him my husband would be home on R&R in September, he was actually able to get me in due to a cancellation.  The usual wait from time of consultation is about 2-3 months is what i was told.  As far as the lenght of surgery, I went in at 7 and was out by noon.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you,
Michelle D.
