32 Year Old Mother of 2 Tummy Tuck muscle repair, lipo, from Dr. Placik in Chicago - Chicago, IL
ORIGINAL POST
Okay, this website has been a great help to me so...
WORTH IT$10,592
Okay, this website has been a great help to me so I want to give back and add what I am going through as well.
So I am a mother of 2 and I am 5'3.5 127 pounds. My son was 7 pounds 11 inches 22 inches long. I have a lot of extra skin and stretch marks. I've thought about getting this procedure for 11 years now and I am finally going through with it. I'm tired of feeling unattractive and not wanting to take my shirt off whenever I am with someone new. I have been divorced for 8 years and I hate the insecure feeling I feel whenever a relationship gets to "that" point, so I am dong something about it. I got my info from here and have decided to go with Dr. Placik in Chicago.
I had my consultation today and I have to say the office is so beautiful, clean, and upscale. The receptionist/nurse was AMAZING!!! So sweet and understanding, and made me feel so comfortable. She sat with me and talked to me calming my nerves. Dr. Placik came in and has such a natural kind demeanor. No creepy feeling at all while I let it all hang loose in front of him and he marked me up and showed me what needed to be done. He took his time to show me my options and what to expect with different cuts.
There would be a higher scar to remove ALL of my stretch marks, but a lower one to keep about two inches of the stretch marks. I loved this because I truly have to be comfortable with my decision and I can decide which is more important to me. It was nice to have an option. :)
He is competitively priced. So I'm looking to book this surgery and get it done asap. I will post pics from today's mark ups. :)
So my friends please help me prepare and let me know what I should stock up on. I am looking to have this done in exactly 4 weeks if scheduling works out.

congrats on your decision to go to the flat side... It's amazing how we become complacent with our appearance when motherhood takes priority over your personal needs. I have put mine off for the last 7 years... always thinking that we could use the money and take the kids on a nice vacation, or pay for an extra year of gymnastics, dance, cheer,basketball...but finally, I made the decision to move forward specifically for me. You deserve to get your body back, and I am super excited for you! sending encouragement from Atlanta!!! XOXO

Awwww Thank you so so much. I am actually calling tomorrow to schedule the appointment and pay the down payment. I wish I could fast forward to first day post op. Lol.

I know that's right! I am heading to the flat side in about 7 hours. I was super anxious and now I am calm, but up cleaning my house that is already clean. I guess this is my way of dealing with it. I know you are excited about securing your date, keep me posted!

3 months pre
picking a date and paying the deposit
So...I have been going back and forth with the thought of bbl. It seems like the perfect timing to have it done but I'm nit sure. I would have to save up more and therefore postpone my tummy tuck. Something I don't see as an option right now. I was hoping to get the tt done in March but due to the surgeon having to be fully paid 4 weeks in advance I had to hold off. I will be scheduling today :) :) :) and paying my deposit so I am extremely excited :) :) looks like May for me. I'm hoping around May 9th or 10th. Gives me two months to lose the 10 pounds I want to lose (it was advised to lose it before surgery, since it allows the skin to stretch more.)

I've scheduled my surgery for April 9th. Can't wait sooo nervous, exited at the same time. I'll be getting a TT with MR and lipo to upper tummy and flanks. I'm also just taking a week off! Will see how it goes. God willing everything will go smooth.
