Today I scheduled my tummy tuck procedure for July 26.I am nervous but excited.I am 31 and I have two beautiful kids, a 15 year old daughter and 3 year old son.Although I lost the pregnancy weight I still have loose stomach skin and really ugly stretch marks.I was contemplating tummy tuck surgery every since I had my son so I decided to schedule the consultation.During the consultation the Dr and staff made me feel very comfortable so I made the desicion to go forward with the procedure.Any presurgery advice.

I just found out that I can't take the time off from work to get the surgery done, I am sooo disapointed. So as of right I don't know the exact date for my sugery,hopefully I'll be able to schedule it before the end of Aug.

Ok I've rescheduled my surgery for Sept 16...

Ok I've rescheduled my surgery for Sept 16.Although It'll be nearly 2 months before I can get this procedure done went ahead with the pre op visit anyway.The nurse asked the usual health history questions but she didn't take my height or weight nor did she take before pictures,is this normal? Also, I asked to look at before and after pictures of past tt patients she told me to go to the website.Im thinking maybe I should have visited other surgeons before making an decision,idk.
Great review?
