Finally Making a Life Changing Decision - Bronx, NY

I went to my appointment on Tuesday n saw DR. Nick. He was really nice, made me feel very comfortable. He said i was a great candidate for the procedure, He also complimented me n said wow for a women that has had 3 children you have very tight abdominal muscles. ;) which is nice because that's the only good part about my stomach. Everything sounded great except for when I asked him to book me for surgery, ;( he said the earliest I can be booked for is May 21, 2012. I was a little sad because I was kind of hoping to go to my graduation (June 9 - associates) without a girdle (i wanted a little bit of the swelling to go down) but it's ok. I'll just try to work out a little more so I can have the best results afterwards.

Hello TT sisters,
I know its been a while since I've posted anything but let me keep you all updated on whats going on with me. Since my last post, I told you all how I was going to Jacobi Hospital to get my pocedure done, 2 weeks later I went for a consult at Lennox Hill Hospital, The price is about the same 4700. Which includes Lipo to the flanks, TT, and an over night stay at a hotel right across the street. So Im sticking with Lennox Hill. As for the surgery date, its MAY 8, 2012!! I'm so excited but nervous at the same time. As promised I am posting a pic of my ugly stomach! Proceed with caution!!

Hello ladies,
so 6 more days to go! Tomorrow (May 3, 2012 - Thursday) I will be meeting with the attending DR. and give all my pre op blood/medical clearance work in. I've been a little nervous, but I know I will be fine. I'm not really sure what to have for after the surgery. I have the button up shirt, medication, massive pillows, mederma, bio oil, neosporin, targert brand scar gel, and I plan on buy the scar away strips, with some pineapple. Is there anything else I need?

Hiiii ladies! I'm on the other side! Pain isn't as bad as I thought! my procedure started at 11:15 and end at 3! I will say right after surgery I was so mad because the pain was extreme but since 6 it's gone done n I'm more calm and relax! I went to the bathroom a few times. my private nurse rocks, she took great care of
Me! If anyone is going to Lennox hill I highly recommend her! I want to thank all the ladies whom have kept up to date with my progress. Tomorrow I am going to take a pic without the guaze just to show you guys. Btw my scar is super low. Can't wait to show u guys! Xoxo

Hi ladies, as promised here are the pics. The one with the guaze was yesterday all the rest r today. I'm finally home. Ive been eating all organic foods and feel great. Now for those who ask the question which is worse c section or tummy tuck? I would definately have to say C section. ive been walking and trying to stay active. I feel n look great.. good luck to all who r going in today!

Hi ladies today I slept most of the day but try to get up n walk around the house at least 5 - 6 times. I wanna thank you guys so much for your support, it really means a lot to me how you girls have been keeping up with my progress. The drains come out Monday so in pretty excited about that. I've been trying to stand up straight as much as possible. Eating nothing but chia seeds (which my nurse told me is great for weight loss) n chicken salad. Lots of water, coconut water, n dr green juice.

Hello my beautiful TT sisters,
Today is POST day 3, so here is a full update on me. I have not gone to the bathroom for a BM since before surgery and I havent taken a colace, just because Ive been scared of having the neasea feeling. But I decided to take it about an hour ago. I try to walk around the house as much as I can when I have to go to the bathroom or just to do so. Most of the time its kind of hard for me to get out of bed (my husband usually helps me) but I've been trying my best to do it myself. Today is my first day staying by myself as he will be going back to work today. MNB4784 you asked for pics of different angles so I took these. I absolutely love how low the scar is. I would have never thought I would look like this! Im so excited!
