    Dr. Niebles' other Coordinator here in TJ gave me a beautiful scarf to wear around my face compression garment for the flight home. I could get use to it! It makes me look very sophisticated - even with racoon eyes.

    It takes a little while to look normal again but it's quite amazing when everything is healed! I'm so looking forward to a lower face lift to get rid of this awful double chin!! Have a safe flight home!! You will be the sophisticated AND mysterious woman on the plane!!

    Wow, Christy, it is so good to "see" you here. Glad things went well, of course I knew they would you are in good hands. Isn't a shower just the BEST thing after surgery. He helped me take mine too and WOW, was that a big difference in how I felt. Please do tell him I said hello and keep me posted on your recovery!! ((hugs))

    Sorry-I have NO CLUE what I am doing with the attachments! The sunglass pic is today-2 days after the other one. Swelling has gone down a lot. Of course, the compression garment puffs out my chin and cheeks quite a bit but the doc daid I have to wear it. :-(
    Thank you, Donna, for the Audrey Hepburn shades!!

    Glad to hear you are doing well and had no major problems just the usual junk. I do hope you get to come to Hawaii so we can meet. My daughter is training for the Honolulu Marathon in December and is planning to reward herself after with a thigh reduction and butt lift. She should be in the best shape possible by then. So she is looking at late winter - early spring 2014. I am definitely going to have my arms done. That is not going to be a matter of just looking better but actual need. I would like to have mine done when she has hers but I probably wont be ready yet as I have so far to go. We have even been talking about flying over to San Diego to have it done and making a vacation out of it and taking a cruise ship home.

    We definitely want to see your finished work when you are totally healed which I know will take some time.
    Your doctor sounds like a real sweet caring doctor. I wish we had known about him before she had her breast implants.



    Highest weight 440 lbs. lowest weight 9.5 lbs at birth
    Date of surgery weight 340
    12 week checkup 301 BMI <50 yeah!
    Weight on birthday 3/24/48 Goal 285 would be nice.
