I just got top surgery with dr. Garramone yesterday morning. I'll post pictures when I can. I get my bandages off next Wednesday. It's so incredible because I can already tell how much flatter I am through the bandages.

Congratulations Carson! It must be absolutely amazing so relieving!
I have my consultation with the surgeon here in the UK on the 14th. Im so excited, I never thought things would happen.

From my opinion, Garramone gives the most pleasing results, so good luck with yours! (Not that youll need it...) :p

Thanks everyone!

Make_it_good, I had no idea that this would happen so fast for me. It is such an amazing feeling to be able to totally move on with my life. I personally like garramones results the best also but I've seen some great ones from the UK surgeons as well. Hope everything goes well for you!

Congrats man!

I just had mine two weeks ago in Canada. But I know someone in my town who went all the way to Florida to get it done by Garramone so that says a lot about him.  How long do you have to wear a velco vest for?

Yeah I'm from Pennsylvania and I drove to florida with my family. A lot of people go from awhile away to go to him.

I don't have to wear a Velcro vest I don't think. I have bandages on with a really tight ace bandage overtop of that which they put on at the hospital. I get that off on Wednesday when I get the drains out and don't think I have to wear anything after that.

Congrats Carson and Jay too
Everything I've seen from Garramone has been great, and I'm sure yours is too.

Congrats man.  Can't wait till I get my chance.  I'm planning to go to Garramone too, thankfully he's only about an 11 hour drive from me.

Wow really that's pretty awesome.  I didn't have to wear drains after but have to wear a bandage/velco binder thing for 4 weeks after surgery. I only have about 2 weeks left kind of sucks but better than before.

Yeah I think it depends on which surgeon you go to if you get drains or have to wear the compression vest. You're halfway there dude! And it will be totally worth it when you get it off.
