I'm glad everything went well! I had a spit stitch that opened up a 1/4" spot along my LBL and it was very concerning looking (deep and open). I had a lot of anxiety about it because I felt like I was literally going to fall apart, but my PS kept assuring me that it was all fine, lol.

Woohoo! Glad all is going well! I really feel like Sibley nails anesthesia. My surgery was 10+ hours and it's the only surgery I've ever had where I wasn't really sick when I woke up. I still had some nausea but it lasted for only a couple hours and I never actually vomited or needed anything other than Zofran.

I'm so excited for you Janet, and very glad that you have been healing so well. I'm not surprised there was no fat to remove - as I recall you had gotten to a very low body fat percentage - 16% or so, is that correct? Keep on healing! Thank you for sharing your photos. Can't wait until you get to really see your results sans drains, bandages, and compression gear!

I have a consult in Minneapolis, MN on the 29th, with Dr. Gervais. His pics and reviews looked really good.
They do not take insurance. I decided that I didn't want to wait and fight with my insurance to pay for part of the surgery. I have only had one rash and haven't had any other health type issues with the extra skin.
Guess I will see how this consult goes, and go from there.
It looks like you are doing really well after your surgery. Wish you a continued speedy recovery!!

That's a lot of surgery. Glad to hear you are recovering so quickly.
It will be interesting for you to see the change after all the drains go away.
You're on the other side!

Thanks, Janet! I'm feeling much better about all of this.
