Tummy Tuck 100% WORTH IT! Loving the New Me! - Towson, MD

well its been 16 days since my surgery and i am feeling great.  other then having to sit around and doing nothing, i am still happy that i went through this.  i am now down to just a pain pill in the morning and one at night so i can get comfortable enough to sleep.  i can now handle the days without having to take anything for the pain, so that is great news.  the swelling is slow but every day i see a small difference in my appearance.  i love being able ot try on clothes that i have not been able to get into for several years.  shirts now fit a lot looser and that makes me smile.  i hated putting shirts on and seeing my big ol belly poking out, but now that is all gone.  anyone thinking of doing this, there are a few things you need to do before you just in to.  see a couple of doctors before narrowing it down to one.  check the doctors background and make sure that he is qualified to do this work.  any doctor can cut you open and stitch you back so you want to make sure that you get a surgeon that does this type of work on a regular basis.  understand what the procedure is and what to expect.  know that everyone handles surgery differenlty.  just because i had a lot of pain, doesn't mean that you too will feel the same amount of pain.  get to know your doctor, make a list of all the questions that you will have for him on the day of your consult.  make sure that you take enough time off work for yourself to heal.  this is your time, so take it, rest up and just heal.  after doing all of my research, i came up my doctor and i am glad i stuck with him.  he has been the greatest!  i will continue to update with pictures.
