finally

[Bobbie]

Finally, after much work on the part of Dr Allam I am now officially able to post. So, here I go. I had the plastic surgery on my upper arms on 11/19. All went very well and for the most part I am healing nicely. I lost 10 lbs in the process. I can't believe I had 10 lbs of extra skin just on my arms. The whole healing process takes about 3 months so I have a ways to go yet. I cannot say enough about Dr DeBellis and his staff. You are treated like a member of the family, not just a patient. I cannot wait for the rest of the plastic surgery, but will have to as I am going to have my knees replaced before I do any more plastic surgery. Well, that's all for now. So glad to be hear. Let's hear from some other group members.

Well Bobbie wtg for you on your surgery. I am so glad to see someone else post here besides me. I was getting pretty lonely. I was wondering when and why people from the group haven't posted here. Just in case if you are having problems posting here contact Dr Allam. He will help you out. Again Bobbie lots of luck withy our recovery. Glad that you came back to work out with me this morning. It was fun to have my workout loser buddy with me. :) Bye for now.

I'm so glad to hear that everything went well. I cant wait till its my time. I really don't want to lose much more. Just want the lose some of the skin . 20 lb plus then skin I will be happy. but I also have other plans haveing some work done on toes in Jan. Feet have gotten smaller and toes just don't want to go into the smaller shoe. Before I guess the had so much around them the bigger shoe fit, doesn't now. So Dr Dyner from Southampton will be doing repair on foot. Also a long recovery for that 2 week off foot. He told me I had to be a couch potato. That's ok Ill get a few movies and watch a lot of TV. Well going to bed gettting late but it's good to hear that you had a great experance.
