Thanks. I just went back to work this week and I'm moving a lot more than I had been and I realized today that it seems to be going away, slightly. The area of the small of my back seems to be less.

I can't go near my mons! I'll go through the roof! It's so swollen.....

I know exactly the wooden butt cheek feeling you are describing! I'm 5 months out and it's no longer there in relation to the way that clothes sit on me but I still feel numb when I touch my upper hip/butt. I had two c-sections and was very numb after both so I anticipated this and now it's not bothering me. My lower stomach is still completely numb as well as one very small piece of my mons.

Hey guys!! I made it!

Dr. Capella and Scott did a great job. I was super comfortable and happy with them through this whole process.

I am still in the hospital. I was supposed to leave today, but I really couldn't move or operate and was still in too much pain.

Dr Capella came to see me, and said everything looks good. They removed a whopping 12 pounds!

I know this is a ****ty picture, but it's the best I have for now. My legs are already remarkably smaller! Thanks for all your support guys and I'll check in again soon.

Are you massaging your back and hips? In theory, anything that increases blood flow should help with the numbness. But, honestly, I'm a year out from my LBL and I've still got some numbness around the incision line. (My surgeon informed me of this pre-op, so I knew what I was getting into.)

For the mons, it sounds like swelling that will pass with time. Ice and/or heat might help.

Yes, that is exactly it. The cost difference is unbelievable. Great! You'll be happy with him. He comes across a little "different" but he's just very blunt. He's a great surgeon though.

I'll be having my revision at U of C before the end of the year and hopefully my arms after I get my income tax check.

They will take good care of you! I've talked to a few people on my Instagram account who have had their work done at Weiss and are very happy.

Good luck!
