Album Description

This is my journey...I lost 70lbs over the course of a year, and kept it off. I still had more to lose but after talking with my sis, Tina227 and the ps I decided that it would be ok to get the surgery done even though I wasn't at my ideal weight. I lost 14lbs front and about 10lbs in the back. I am healthy so I am healing nicely without any issues, it's very managable...it's also nice to have my sis here with me going through it at the same time. I don't have my binder yet, but when I do, it will be easier to see my shape coming through. Pics coming soon!!

Hi calitlg, I am doing well, I'm just really sore and stiff but I'm good. Really? I'm glad you are all set up with him, you wont be disappointed. Are you going to up up some before pics? I recommend you go with somebody, especially since you are so close in Cali. The company is nice. I'm not sure what all you are getting done, but for me the tt is nothing compared to the lipo. OMG!! Its the most bothersome and annoying. I'm two weeks in and I still can't stand to have anybody touch me on my arms or back which is where I had the lipo. Sleeping is still quite uncomfortable, me and my sis were sharing a loveseat-like recliner and were just too close. She now sleeps in the bed, but I am still too stiff to sleep laying down so flat so I have it all to myself now which is better. :) So get your sleeping arrnagement together before you get it done. Because we are having more extensive work done because of our size, healing takes longer so I would have somebody there to help you for 2-4 weeks min after you leave from recovery. My mom is still staying with me to help...if I didn't have her, I don't know what I would do. If there's anything else you'd like to know, just ask! Thanks and good luck on your up coming tranformation!!

Hey ladies, thanks for all the comments.
@Puff-Yeah, family is helping me through it all.
@Nikki-Thank you, it was 8000 which uncluded everything but the plane ticket. Food, housing, medicine, etc. I can't wait to see my results either, I'm still very swollen, so I gotta be patient!
@Bonita - Thank you! I was a lot of hard work, but I actually enjoyed working out and taking better care of my body. Yeah, he was really agressive with me and I can already tell that the results are gonna be phenominal!
@Easha- yeah, I'm really happy, even though I have a long way to go, to fully heal and for the swelling to go down. I feel so frumpy, lol, but thats all the fluid. I havent' gotten my compression garment from the doc, but I will after the drains are removed :D Can wait, cause thats what gonna start to shape my middle and arms after all the work he put in on me.

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! And Dr. Gongora usually does the best lipo, so I'm sure your results will be awesome once the swelling subsides. Best of luck to you and your sis!
Bonita_Apple_BumFrom: Bonita_Apple_Bum | 2011-09-26 23:51:08

congratulations on your weight loss! Best of luck with your surgury. Dr. Gongora produces the best lipo results I've ever seen, so you're probably in for stellar results after the swelling goes down. Best of luck to you.
