Tummy Tuck in Two Weeks - Aventura, FL

ORIGINAL POST

My name is Alex. I am 21 years old at the moment...

WORTH IT$7,500

My name is Alex. I am 21 years old at the moment and i am 6'2". At age 17 I was about 330 lbs. I use to lead a very unhealthy lifestyle, mainly because I guess I didn't enjoy life as much as I should have in my younger days. At age 18 I started training in mixed martial arts after I lost around 70lbs in a year. Since then, I have dropped to 220 and I don't have much fat in my abdomen left. After 3 years of training and falling in love with mixed martial arts i have decided to pursue a professional career in it but even with my amateur kickboxing fights, my belly skin was always an issue and even though I am 5-0 in the sport, it affected both my training and my performance. Hopefully this surgery will give me that push I need to take my training to the next level.

My surgery is scheduled for January 11th, so It is coming up very soon. I will post pictures this weekend when I get a chance.

Hi Alex welcome to the community:)

Thank you for posting your review.   Congratulations on dropping the weight and getting healthy.  I am sure you feel amazing now.  A few more days and you can say goodbye to the extra skin.  You will love it!

Definitely post the before and after pictures.

I have a question about the the use of antibiotics before surgery. Today i woke up with a horrible sore throat and my wife gave me some advil or tylenol. My papers say that I cant take anything for 2 weeks before surgery, so i'll be asking my surgeon this thursday when i go see him.
Anyways, I still have not thought much about the surgery but I know i'm going to freak the closer i get to the day.

This whole ordeal is easier than you can imagine. One hour after getting to my hospital room for an over nite stay the fun began. I am 3 months PO and don't remember any discomfort, just the good stuff. I know there was soreness and inconvenience but in hind site it was all so interesting and life changing. I read all of the horror stories on here and my doctor said stop! (i didn't). It all turned out so well, I'm so happy I did this. The preop nervousness was actually excitement and I just didn't realize it. The mirror is now my friend, YES!!!!!
