Compression Garments
I'm a little sad. My mother in law sent a compression garment that got lost in the mail and it was sent back to her. I've been wearing my old spanx zip up thingy but now it's a little loose. I have another compression like garment thingy that I pull on like shorts...it's tight like it's supposed to but oh my goodness it's miserable to sleep in and pull off to go to the bathroom. I see on amazon some better ones but they are like 98.00. SIGH...I'll probably buy them eventually. I hope I havent ruined my procedure with doing too much activity, being depressed, ordering in, and just I don't know...
I wish I had a better idea of how to better take care of myself during recovery. The what to do after a tummy tuck guide was great for the first 3 weeks. It was my post surgery bible but now at this point everyone expects me to be fully recovered and I dont know what to do.
I waited a while before posting my response. I was...
This journey has been pretty great. I had a great surgeon. Dr Kratschmer did an excellent job that i believe gave my body the best results.
I also had a hernia repair during the surgery. My hernia was pretty Bad. I had 3 kids so of course that made my hernia worse and oh...I lift weights...without my support belt most times so yeah...
My stomach looked terrible before the surgery. Ppl we're always asking if I was pregnant. I hated it. This surgery has helped change my body image and my self esteem drastically. I had put on weight over the years from depression and I was obsessed w working out. My tummy tuck has finally given me the physical appearance I've been longing for. I cry every now and then because I can't believe it's gone. The stomach I had before was limiting me from being successful and happy in life. Seriously. I work in the fashion industry but couldn't wear any of the clothes. Now I can! I'm so happy. Although I'm swollen and only two weeks post op, I look fantastic!
Provider Review
My doctor was awesome! He gave me no BS straight facts; the good, the bad, the ugly. He made me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions and trust me I asked a lot. A member of his staff sat on the phone w me for 45 minutes one day before surgery patiently answering all my questions and dispelling any concerns or fears. Even after surgery my doc is pretty awesome during the follow up appts. I originally had some fears and doubts going in to surgery but today I would proudly recommend my doctor to anyone of my friends and family interested in plastic surgery. My procedure was reasonably priced...I failed to mention earlier that the hernia repair and hospital stay were covered by my insurance. The price I listed above was the tummy tuck alone.
