Pre-Surgery Photos

10

by Lia Halsall

As promised here are my pre-surgery photos taken Tuesday 27th January 2009. I also did my caliper measurements, there was a significant drop from nine weeks ago which I was happy about.

I would love to catch you up on everything but I must get up and move around again, part of the recovery. I have lots to tell you and photos to share as promised. I’m off to the clinic today for my first daily dressing change so I hopefully will be feeling much better this afternoon except for the 40° heatwave we’re experiencing here.

You and the rest of my readers I think Cat. I was in and out in the same day and am back at home resting now. I have a long way to go but I’ll get there eventually. :-)

Suprised, yes I am, but I try not to judge without walking in others footsteps :) Good on you for being honest about this though, I am sure that it wasnt an easy decision for you to make, let alone post about.

I have seen lipo on the TV and it looks incredibly bruital, so I can imagine you are probably feeling it atm, hhaah love your comment above, no pain, no gain! So I hope you are resting up and recover well :)

Look forward to hearing about the treatments, havent heard of the others so fill us in!

Mum always taught me that honesty is always the best policy Sam. I’m glad that I went public with this, I feel much better for it.

I’ll be posting later today a run down of everything including photos. ;-)

I’m sure many of us, if we had the guts and money would probably consider it too, I know I would but I don’t have the money nor guts and I’m a scarity cat. So .. I wish you all the best and a wonderful result and recovery.

Thanks Java, so far so good on the recovery side of things. I’m following the doctors orders and am doing additional things like taking bcaa’s and l-glutamine to help. :-)
