hi, your tummy looks great. I have a question for you, i saw one of your vid on excess skin where u showed your thighs , i know u didnt get any surgery on them and im just curious if u got a slight lift on your thighs with your tummy tuck?
WOW YOU LOOK GOOD. I WILL BE GETTING GB SURGERY ON THE 14TH OF DEC. WANTED TO ASK FOR SOME PRAYERS PLS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE PLS SUB TO MY CHANNEL. KEEP MAKING VIDEOS OF YOUR PROGRESS AND HEALING. XOXOXO
@Waiting2Exxhale Congrats on your surgery. I will definitely keep you in my prayers!! You will be so happy. It's a journey but if you're serious and committed, it will change your life for the best!!
Dr. Katzen did a wonderful job - you look great and it's going to just get better and better. I'm 6 mos out now and most of the swelling is gone. But I did have some pretty bad swelling this week because I was constipated and that slows down the lymph too - I am still doing manual lymph drainage by an R.M.T. Expensive but it really helps.
@MyBandedLife I can't wait for the swelling to get better and start feeling "normal" I've heard of manual lymph drainage. Do u think it would have taken longer for the swelling to slow down without it? When did u start?
@vkhele I started it at 6 weeks, but my therapist said ideally people should go for a few sessions even before surgery to have even better results. Some surgeons won't allow till 6 weeks, but others even have a couple of sessions immediately post op included in the price. I do think it has helped a lot, although I guess you can never know for sure. I still even wear the binder at night now to help. My RMT also does myofascial release and that helps with the scar and deeper tissue under it.
You look fabulous! My belly swelling still comes and goes. It's better if I really watch my salt intake and don't over-do it. I'm 4-1/2 months postop now. Some days are worse than others, but overall it's a LOT less now.
@LiLtinee Thanks! How long before your belly started feeling normal? Do u have numbnes? When did that go away? I'm afraid to wear anything without elastic in case I swell....lol
Vicky so glad you posted this video. Dr Katzen did a fantastic job. I will be the 1st to tell you that you need a lot of patience when it comes to plastic surgery results. Dont worry, it will look stunning in a few months. If you ever have any concerns, please message me. The scar will lighten and that stitch opening up is common. Your hot hot mama now!!
@skymoon1982 Hi Mel! That is one thing I don't have. PATIENCE! lol but I'm forced to right? Do you use anything for scar treatment? Do u think with my scabbing I can start rubbing something on it or should I wait til it all falls off? I guess I could ask Dr. K but what do u think??
@vkhele Vicky let me tell u something.. I learned how to be patient the hard way when I had this whole big plastic surgery thing. It literally take months to see results. I am now starting to enjoy my body as I start to see how beautiful the work has become. There are going to be a lot of those days where u will go into depression and probably anxiety. Been there more than what I would like to remember. Don't scab, it will fall off. If its itchy, thats common too. Call Dr. Katzen 4 advice
@vkhele he will also proably recommend some scar treatment gel 4-6 weeks after surgery. I dont think its possible for u to put anything on it as of yet.
@kelshaleanne At this moment, yes. I would do it again. Only because of my circumstances. If I could, i would have the procedures done seperately but that is just not possible for me due to time off issues, single mom, blah blah blah.
wow you look great! I bet you are feeling like it was all worth it now:D It is amazing how good you look this early after having your procedures! Congratulations on all of your success!
Girl you look good! you are still super swollen so amagine in a few months this will look even berrter! the beast have to drop and they will settle in very nice! they look great! they dont look small! Your arms look great too! I could have never did a surgery for that many hours..that sounds really Scarry. om very happy your doing well! btw i had gastric sleeve on the 23rd this month so i understand the limitations soreness pain blah blah balh! lol
