12 pounds of excessive slab of skin below my belly button was removed. My surgery was done at Franklin Woods Hospital in Johnson City, TN. I had no surprises, Dr. Bharti told me what to expect before, during, and after my procedure. I also watched several tummy tuck procedures on u-tube beforehand. I did spend the night in the hospital. I had very little pain, I only took pain medication a few days. I would recommend Dr. Gaurav Bharti to anyone. He was very professional and has an excellent nursing staff. I am extremely happy with my results!!!

Welcome to the community.   Twelve pounds of skin is a considerable loss, wow.
How was your first couple of weeks home?    I always love to hear when people can stay a night in the hospital.

I just followed the Doctors orders. The first three days was the most important. I was of course a little sore and spent a lot of time in my recliner. Wearing my wrap was important and not moving around helped as well. It will be 6 weeks tomorrow since my surgery and I am feeling great. Last week I had a lymphatic massage with a massage therapists and she was able to reduce some of my swelling and soreness. I have another massage this morning. I look and feel great. I will also start light workouts this week. It is definitely worth the time and money. I would recommend Dr. Bharti to anyone considering this procedure.
