Ok... I'm in checking it out phase. Went over ten years ago for consults after my first child and waited until I was done having kids. I am. Turning 40 and in decent shape. I'm 5"3 150 lbs . I have my " divot ". I can't get rid of.. I love running and am very content every where else. I work in a school so am contemplating .... Do I wait till next summer or cram it in the end of this one? If I did it by the 20 th... I'd be up against the 2 week mark at Labor Day. Consult on Wednesday.. I don't smoke... Thoughts? I'm nervous and almost want to do it so I can start next summer with it done and healed...dont know cost yet will update when sure

I really like Dr Rayfield. I won't update this much as my surgery wont happen until next June. But after speaking with him I am all in. He had said due to my c section scars that look really good, my weight, and the shape im in. I am a good candidate. I have some time to save $$. I will update next spring as I get closer but so excited to do it!

Hi Jennifer94953.... I thought my profile page might be of interest to you.... I had my tummy tuck September 16, 2013... My surgeon is David L Rayfield
I can't say enough good things about him, everyone that I have encountered in his practice Have been professional At the same time making you feel at ease.
About me : I am 60 years old (Oh heck it's only a number). my surgery went really well ...I feel marvelous.. Eight days post – op.
In my opinion you've picked a winner... Dr. Rayfield is very conscientious, extremely skilled & easy to talk. to, I've posted lots of picture before, & after ...

I asked how long they are typically worn and he said they're not all thst necessary . I had read on here some people wore them for months. I'm getting mine in summer where the humidity would make them so sweaty .

So, I have put my deposit-dates locked in, and keep reading how people are doing. Looking at the first days and weeks - there are so many vast recovery stories from horrible to not so bad. I keep looking at what people are saying as far as vitamins- seems to be some suggestions on how some help in the healing recovery. I need to start putting together a list of what I'll need pre- op & post op. Anyone who has been through it, "Anything you wouldn't do this TT without? " Also, I am staying overnight in the hospital so at least my first 24 hours I'll be watched and taken care of-- nervous but still can't wait--
