Tummy Tuck: Stories

I've researched and googled and read countless posts about where to go and which doctor is best and which doctor may or may not kill you and why you should do it and why you shouldn't and I have heard the opinions from everyone and their mothers and I am FINALLY doing it!

It's been 6 years since I've had my son and I have never shown anyone my stomach because the pregnancy did some damage and I am finally ready to wear a two piece bikini and have a flat, tight belly! As far as transferring the fat to my butt... I live in NY where there is no such thing as too much booty and I have always had a big butt so I am excited for it to be ridiculousLY big lol.

I am all booked and have started taking my vitamins that the doctor recommended and I am scheduled to get the surgery for January 3rd... 39 DAYS AWAY!!!

I've been to D.R before so I am not worried at all plus I got my breasts done a few years back so I know pretty much the way things go, you get gowned up, go into the surgery room, get an IV, count back from 10, and wake up in the recovery room, you're in pain a few days and then you go home... A million women have done it before me and a million more will do it after me so I will be okay.

I will start ordering the things I need this week so I can have everything ready. I am so excited and so thankful for finding out about this site because all of your posts is the reason why I am doing this and why I chose Dra. Robles who I am extremely confident of to put my life into her hands. Remember sometimes you have to just do it because you only live once!

So I arrived to DR on the 2nd and Frank the driver was waiting for me. He's from Jersey and speaks perfect English so I was very relieved. It took about 30 minutes to get to the clinic which was directly across the street from the presidential palace. I arrived and was oriented by Laura who is Dra. Robles assistant, she was very nice. They did my blood work, EKG, and X-ray and told me I was cleared. Dra.Robles came down and introduced herself I didn't realize who she was at first lol. She's very young. She marked up by body and told me to just relax so I ordered some food and went to bed. The next morning they woke me up and I had expressed to Dra. Robles that I wanted to go first so she came into the room and said she was going to do a set of implants first and then me which made me anxious but I was happy she came to tell me and didn't just have me waiting around. At like 10 am they give me the infamous blue pill and that's all I remember. Next thing I remember is waking up freezing, and asking the nurse for more blankets. It was really really cold so they brought me a heated blanket and I finally warmed up. I was draining a lot... I mean I didn't know my body had that much fluid! So the Dra came in checked me said I was good to go and cleared me to go to the recovery house. I'll finish later my battery is dying. Any questions feel free to email me or post them here.
