✨ Recovery Room Revival:

You’ll wake up in the cozy care of our recovery room. Feeling a bit groggy? Don’t worry, that’s just the anesthesia wearing off and the magic of transformation beginning.

Your first sips of clear fluids are a big milestone! I will be encouraging you yo take tiny, frequent refreshing sips throughout the day. Not gourmet, but essential for your new tummy.
