I finally went in Sept. 26th for my surgery. I was scheduled for Removal of glands and lipo in midsection. It had been over 90 days since I had my consultation with the doctor, so when I arrived and he saw me and he saw that I had lost 30 lbs and 15% bodyfat since my consultation, he said I was no longer a candidate for lipo, due to the fact that at 45, my skin was already too loose and any additional fat he could remove would just leave additional loose skin.
I then became a candidate for a tummy tuck...... hmmm I thought this is going to hurt and is alot more to recover from then lipo. Anyway I went for it and had the gyno, tummy tuck and some lipo done all in the same session.
I opted to stay awake for the surgery, receiving only local anathesia and some sedation. It was kinda cool watching them work on me from the reflection of the operating lamp above.
I walked out on my own the next morning, showered the next day, started hgh back at 10 iu's ed the next day as well. I went in 6 days later for a check up and they removed all stitches except my new belly button stitches.
I was told that usually stitches are not removed for 10 or more days.
I walked a little over a mile the morning of my check up across the border and back and felt pretty good. So far day 10 and I feel great. I think the cycle I did prior as well as the IGF and HGH have greatly increased my healing power.
I'm going to post some before and during surgery pics as soon as I figure out how to do it.
Bottom line-if you are contemplating one or both surgeries, let me know and I will share more of the details with you.
