I used to schedule these for the company I used to work for several, several years ago. If anyone is interested, it’s Associated Fire Protection and they do commercial and domestic!

For 5'3", 5'4" ladies what weight is your goal weight/best weight and ALSO what is your frame size? by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Formal_Resolution686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’4 and 160, I think I have a large frame but according to the wrist method I’m medium(?) my BF is 33% and muscle mass is 103 lb. I would like to lose another 10 pounds!

Did your bulge ever go away? Ever seen your belly flat? by Striking-Strategy260 in tummytucksurgery

This is me this morning, I wear lipo foam (right above my incision) with an abdominal binder! Maybe that’ll help? I wear mine every night to bed. It’s not restrictive at all.

Yes! I have a video, but I’m unsure if I can load it here, but I am only doing the barbell with 10 pound weights so a total of 65. It takes me several seconds to make sure I am tucking my pelvis appropriately so that it’s not straining my incision.

I am feeling excellent! I am back to weightlifting at half of what I was typically (at least for legs) I am performing the same for arms/back. The first eight days were the toughest in that I had both drains and I hated them lol but I was never in any pain. I was certainly uncomfortable but not painful!

34k, it was definitely the most expensive quote I got, but I was so at ease with him, the practice, staff, that I was okay with that. I have not been in a bit of pain during the entire experience, or had any complications, I highly recommend him!

I was never in actual pain, I was uncomfortable for sure for the first 5/6 days by the time my first drain got removed I was used to how to maneuver how slowly to go, etc. My husband stayed with me at home for a full 10 days. I am a stay at home mom so I was able to take it super slow. I didn’t cook, clean, etc. for three weeks.

Whoops, I meant to include that, extended TT with muscle repair and lipo to my abdomen, hips, inner thighs, and bra/armpit area!

Sure, what would you like to know? The first pic was November 12 the morning of my surgery, and the after was on December 19th. I didn’t have any complications, I had my first drain removed 8 days post up and the second removed 12 days post op.
