WORTH IT$2,500
Hey there!! Its been 2 and 1/2 months since my TT and still couldnt be more happy with the results. I still weigh the same as I did the day of my surgery, I dont know why I was under the impression I would loose a bunch of weight with this! But I will tell you whats really different is the way that all my clothes fit!
I feel so much more proportioned and comfortable in my own body! Hope every one is doing well!

Thanks for sharing I was thinking about going to the Dominican Republiic , But after reading post on Bill Kortesis think I may stay close to home. 2500 sounds like a really good price :) what the difference tummy tuck with lipo versus one without ? what made you do the one without? and by the way you look amazing :)

I was actually part of a clinical trial there so that is not the regular price and a lot of the reason why I was able to do this! And the other reason why I didnt get lipo with my TT. I couldn't turn down the price. I have wanted a TT for years and this made it possible. I love my results and would do it all over again but could use the lipo still for sure to get the maximum results. I thought about traveling outside of the US too for the costs too but was too scared to do that when it came down to it.

Call the Hunstad Center in Huntersville, and get a consultation. They are having an event coming up for Brest Augmentations and the consultation fee has been waived for this day. Look them up, tell them I sent ya! Hunstadcenter.com The doctors here are so amazing! They take care of you start to finish! Inbox me if you want to know anything:)

Thank you, cacm! I will definitely have to check into that. Any idea if the fee is waived only for potential BA patients? I have to admit that the $200 is one thing holding me back from scheduling a consultation with them. It seems like a lot to shell out when so many other highly reputable doctors are offering complimentary consults. I have heard nothing but wonderful feedback from HKCenter, so I'm definitely interested in them.

THis is also my doctor, he is absolutely amazing. Check out my profile if your interested in anymore of his work. This doctors office was chosen to take part in a new FDA approved TT closure using a special "glue", giving only a few clients the opportunity to partake in this special study for $2500.

They only can take 25 people and they have hundreds to apply! You have to meet certain criteria, etc to even be considered, BMI, health, etc. Keep a look on their website, it will be on the front page if they do another one. www.hunstadcenter.com

Havent been on in a couple weeks! Cant believe this Friday will be SIX weeks! Feeling great and so happy with my results. Of course now I am wishing I had done lipo for full results but unfortunately wasnt able to. I am thinking about going back later and possibly doing some form of lipo or that cool sculpting. Hope everyone is doing well!

4 weeks PO today and cannot believe it! Feeling pretty much back to normal at this point minus wearing the CG. Still feeling like I wille eventually need some lipo on my sides to really thin my tummy down but we will see. Posting new pics from this weekend I took. My belly is SUPER flat in the am. Guess still a little swelling by the evening but when I look back at those first pics anything is better than that muffin top!! lol
Hope all of you are doing great! :)
