    Gabrielle, you are extremely thorough, including many important clips, explanations and your video massage person. I have no interest whatsoever in any of these surgeries but because I care about you, I watched the entire video. Thank you so much for your attention to detail which I am sure will benefit anyone interested in these procedures. You're looking good and I pray for your continued success in healing.

    Great update! Yes- put your feet up at night and if you're able to put your feet up against a wall for a few minutes twice a day, it can help a lot with lower leg swelling - all the best!

    I just love the way your body looks so natural like this is how you've always been. Nothing is exaggerated, everything is sitting pretty and your scar looks great too. If I ever needed to have plastic surgery I would definitely go to your doctor cause this is my type of look and follow all the advice you've given.

    Gabe I want to thank you for sharing your LMT Delmie with the world ❤. She is the absolute sweetest and the best LMT here in the Houston,Bellair ,TX. area. My surgery was April 24,2023. I’m 7weeks and 1 day today. I’m so glad I kept looking for her information in google search. I scheduled an appointment with Delmie and once I got there she knew exactly what I needed. I have booked with her 8 or 9 sessions with her. After my first visit I definitely noticed a difference from when I came in. We didn’t take pictures but listen when I tell you, I came in with a new medium faja and ab board on latch hook was on 1st hook. When I got off the Balancer Pro machine I was on the 3hook with ab board on. I was amazed. Sorry for such a long post. But ladies Delmie is the truth Blessed hands. I can’t wait to finish all my sessions with her. To see my final results. I’m so excited. Thank you Gabe❤

    You look great! Your Massage Therapist is extremely knowledgeable and spoke in layman terms for my understanding. I appreciated her entire conversation with you as I learn some things about whats needed when receiving this type of massage and the differences about what exactly a lymphatic massage should consist of. She seems very trustworthy in her ability to give the best information and lymphatic massages to her patients. Thanks for the great information!

    I’m 11 days away from my surgery. I just want to say that I truly appreciate your content. It makes me feel better that it was all worth it. I’m a single mom of 3 and this is the first real thing I am doing for myself. I’m so nervous that I won’t recognize my body as my own. I am getting implants. I’ve had 4 babies and recently lost almost 90 lbs over the last year and a half. I know that I am going to see a huge improvement. I think it’s just the way your brain messes with you. Anyways, you are beautiful and literally a light. Thank you for sharing your story.

I am of a certain age and had lots of anxiety as I wish had done this earlier in life. I feel better about it now and have been trying to prepare both physically and mentally. Your video was on point and extremely informative. You look fantastic and I hope and pray that I can be as brave as I endure the recovery.
    Thanx for your transparency and attention to detail for those of us considering this surgery. 🙏🏿

But a week after I returned to the states, I thought I would exit this world. I did a quick YT search, and those lymphatic massages saved my life. Congratulations on your mommy makeover.

    1 mo post op 360 here Sis 🙋🏿‍♀️. You look pretty. Yes, the massages did feel good. And they got all my fluid out. Loving my results but like your surgeon said you only need enough massages to get the extra fluid out. After that the compression will do the rest. Sizing down or alterations is the key. Good luck to all you ladies getting your bodies back. 🫶🏿

There are lymphatic lotions that are available to use for the swelling issues you are having with your ankles. I've never had to use any but I have seen them advertised to really help people with lymphatic issues in their legs.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with your surgery. I've had a few consults for a tummy tuck surgery but afraid to go through with it.

Lol It looks like you are looking and feeling great now! 👍🏽 Are you now happy with your decision?
    Side Note about Ultrasound: I'm a PT for over 18 years and can tell that there is no real research stating that ultrasound is an effective treatment. Providers like to make it sound good informing their patients of the "benefits" but it does not truly help.
