“Lost 100lb - tummy tuck is the best!”

I promised myself a tummy tuck if I finally lost the weight I had been gaining/losing/gaining again. I did it..100lbs. So I began saving my money and searching for a doctor.

I love my doctor and am so thrilled to have the extra skin gone for good. I feel like a real feminine woman for the first time in my adult life.

It was a scary procedure and I had some complications. My incision degraded and my doctor worked with me to keep from having any more procedures. I have healed, but my scar is wider than normal. I don't care how wide it is because it beats the extra skin any day. I may have it "revised" but not really too concerned. I was so worried about pain after the surgery, but with the pump it was minimal.

I would do it again in a heartbeat.... complications and all. There is nothing like feeling good about myself. I lost a tummy and gained confidence!
