Had my 2nd LBL post-op followup appt with the surgeon

Moosie you've been through quite a lot a work, I am so impressed with your transformation.  Here's to seeing the light and the end of the tunnel

Thanks!!

My next and last procedure will be my inner thighs too!!!!!!  Think I'm going to skip my arms... they aren't great... but I don't think they are bad enough to warrent surgery.  Glad you hear you got a good report from the doctor!

I'm glad you got a good report. Hopefully now with the hematoma drained it will go ahead and completely heal. I had somethng similar happen with my inner thigh the day I came home. It was from the small hole where he inserted the cannula to do the lipo right above the knee area. They purposely don't stitch that hole in case it needs to drain. I was standing over the toilet with my dixie cup...LOL I looked down and blood was running down my leg in a hurry. I started to panic but then saw where it was coming from. I told him what happened and he said he meant to warn me about it. Otherwise it would have just pooled inside and I'm sure it would have been a similar hematoma like you had.

I think we are some of his favorite patients. He really loves seeing the transformation that he helps to provide after losing all of the weight. He never fails to mention how great we look.

You are doing great and you'll enjoy having a 4 week break. Keep healing, you look fantastic!

Thanks for the heads-up on the knee draining.....when/if it happens to me I'll try not to freak out. 

This morning I can see the difference in the hematoma but it is feeling really weird now.  All part of healing I suppose.

It's funny, I'm glad I have a 4 weeks break only because it is a 1/2 day event each time we go up there but I actually start to miss seeing them....weird huh.  PLUS this actually turns into a 5 week break because the week 4 mark he is on vacation. 

You are right, I think they both enjoy seeing the transformation in us.

Your results are so nice, and the lack of complications and fitting into the jeans already are just a great bonus. Keep doing whatever it is that you seem to be doing right!

Sound like things are going pretty well, that's fantastic news.
