It is Memorial Day weekend and I might don a bathing suit for Monday. I have some new pics, but when you look at them you cannot tell exactly how much I have lost. So, on my midsection across my belly button I have lost 3". I am still seeing some added loss on the scale and have lost 5 lbs. since the procedure 2 weeks ago today.


I have no bruising and the incisions have healed greatly! Here is one pic

Almost a week ago

Hi all,
Sorry I haven't updated in a couple of days. I am feeling very good. I actually have been back to work since Monday and have had a busy week - yesterday I put in 12 hours then had dinner with family.
As a whole the experience has been very easy. I do have swelling and am still a little sore, but not enough to slow down. I haven't been back to exercising per se yet, but I have been doing some yoga and pilates movements to get a little exercise in. I also have been walking in the evenings.
I do have a little bruising, but again, not enough to fret about.
Here are my official preop pictures.

Two days after Procedure

I am pretty sore today. It feels like someone punched me in the stomach. I haven't taken pictures yet. Maybe tomorrow. No more oozing or drainage. Just using bandaids now. I feel good, just sore.

Here is some video from the actual procedure.

Here are some pics too.





I left this morning and went and got my dressings changed. There is still some drainage from the incisions, but everything is looking good. I do have some bruising, but that is norma. I took a shower and changed my garment and feel good. I will take some more pictures tomorrow in my bikini bottoms.

The day of the procedure

I had it done this morning and it was not bad at all. I was given an Altivan for anxiety and a Tylenol with codeine before the procedure. I was prepped with all of those lines and x's and then was ready to go. I took some pictures and will post them tomorrow (when the pain medicine wears off). LoL.

The overall procedure was easy. I was awake the whole time and we talked throughout the entire procedure. The amount of pain was a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10. The amount of being uncomfortable was very minimal.

So far so good. Will update tomorrow with pictures from the procedure!

The night before the procedure

Laser Liposuction

It is the night before the procedure and I am very excited.

I am a patient of Dr. Kay Solar. I am going to have the pre-surgery pictures put on here too.

This blog will follow my progress via blogging and pictures. I am going to use the same bikini bottom to track the changes.




Here are my before pictures.
