Doing great!! Been back to work for 2 weeks. Still very sore, but loving it ;-)

Not sure why my picture is sideways ?

You look great! Hopefully the soreness goes away quickly

Oh my goodness you look PHENOMENAL! Did you go alone? I'll be going in March - how was the initial recovery process?

**zmdh39** · 10-27-2012 09:44 PM

You look amazing

Thanks girls, ;-) my son went with me ( 18yr old) I needed help picking up stuff and dressing. I hurt so bad everywhere that I had lipo, it was awlful..., still hurts but worth every bit of it. I just keep thinking ahead of how good it will look when the swelling goes down !

Now that you are further out are you mostly pain free? I am going in two days can't decide if I am more scared or more excited!

Yes, I'm still sore when I lie down( sides), but it's minimal. I'm still very happy. I've never had so much attention ;/)

How long did you take off from work??
I just took a month off for the sleeve, my boss will not be happy if I do it again in a year or so!!

**sleepycrna** · 11-06-2012 09:25 AM

I took 2 weeks, that's all I could get ;-(

You look great! Just curious -- did they happen to tell you how many pounds of loose skin they ended up removing?

HI Ginger. You look fantastic!! I'm wondering where you had your surgery done? Are there any recommendations you'd give for things to have with you? I'm sure it helped a lot having your son there. Do you think you would've been okay by yourself? I was planning on taking my husband, but if I don't take him then I can fly first class and hopefully be more comfortable on the way home. What do you think? Thanks.

I went by myself, Twyla! I flew coch on the way there and then first class on the way back. I had arranged for a wheelchair at both the San Diego airport and then at m connecting flight. Good thing I did!!! I could have never made the walk between gates like I did when I had the sleeve. All you have to do is tell the airlines before hand and there will be a weelchair there waiting for you.
