Just had my final drain pulled today !!!!! What a relief. I 'm still real swollen from my lbl but I am very happy with my results so far. I can't wait to do my next procedure. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to get it done till next January. I can't believe that even swollen I can fit into size 6 pants. When I used to wear size tight size 26 never could I imagine being this size. What a confidence booster. I can't wait to buy a nice form fitting outfit. 

I'm almost 1 week post op LBL and must say I'm completely and pleasantly surprised by the lack of pain. I thought for sure I'd be in alot of pain, but my doctor did an excellent job controlling my pain. My doctor used Peconic Bay Medical Center, and much to my surprise the nursing staff was great. They did everything possible to make sure I was comfortable. Actually nurses who weren't assigned to me were coming over to see my doctor's work. Everyone kept saying how good it looked. The nurses kept asking me on a scale of 1-10 how bad is the pain and I replied about a 1. If anyone is interested in the name of my ps please email me. He is not registered with OH, but my bariatric doctor's office recommended him.  

I still have 4 drains attached and stitches in place, but my doctor says the stitches can come out this Tues. Hopefully I can get at least two of my drains removed. I'm a little swollen, which  is normal but  I am very happy with my results.

Getting ready for my lower body lift on January 9th.I can't wait to see the results. It's hard to believe I am going on four years post op. This is the first time in my life I have been able to maintain a normal body weight. I would definitely do this all over again. This has been a great journey.
