Hi Jamie,

Fri, is Aug 3rd. Sat is Aug 4th. Would you like morning or afternoon? Are you flying in just the day or?

Dinner will be on Fri night if you are flying in on Friday. I'll send you a PM. So far, I think there will be at least 5 postops, that you can check out his work.

Chris

It is uncomfortable. No compression garments. Instructions were to stop after 4 weeks to build muscle strength back up.

This is wonderful! I have been emailing Dr Francisco Sauceda in Monterrey asking questions and getting answers since October 2017. Seeing him in person would be awesome!! Chris, can I get a consult on Saturday, August 3rd (anytime). Will fly in Friday afternoon and see him Saturday then leave Sunday morning.

Please get back to me soon so I can make my flight and hotel reservations! Thank you soon much Chris!?

Thank you! I am hoping to have the FDL. Did insurance pay to have it done?

Topic: RE: Please tell me it is swelling

flatter...but still swollen. you can see it mainly in my crotch which never flattens..it is where the swelling collects, morning or night.

Even in the mornings I'm still looking thicker than i did before. I did have 2 days where I woke up and measured and I had my old waist measurement, but otherwise I'm 1-2 inches bigger in the morning and 3-4 inches bigger in the afternoon.

Not measuring the lower belly yet, because that will be wildly off because the butt lift has not dropped yet. so it will add inches to that measurement.

I can see my 6 pack in the morning, but it is less visible in the evenings.

Yeah, it can take 6 months. But, are you seeing a nice flat belly in the mornings? My surgeon told me that swelling was normal for 6 months but that I should expect it to look like it does first thing in the morning.

Every insurance is different. My insurance didn't cover anything and it's stated very clearly in the policy.

Yeah,

I still can't wear anything with a waistband. I swell about 4 inches in the waist throughout the day.
