Tummy Tuck: Stories

Hello All ! soooo I had decided to keep my apt with Dr. Yager on May 22, 2013. I will be going to my consultation with the hope that the price for a Tummy Tuck and Lipo to the flanks- Keeping my fingers crossed !!! I have heard a lot of great things about Dr. Yager Seeing his work has also been very impressive. I want him to be my surgeon so BAD ! I hope I could afford him !

Hiiiii Miriam I was wondering who's your doctor because every where I've looked they are 11000 and in my country is actually about 3500 but I'm scare plz fill me in

Hi Myriam.. Getting nervouse prior to a major surgery is very normal.. I don't think I have read a story yet where a RS lady didn't go through all the wacky up and down feelings.. ( me being one of the worse ones). I have never heard of a teaching clinic doing TT's but when I read it I thought to myself, it's not like they are giving knifes to strangers off the street and offering them a TT job! :) I would think they would have board certified surgeons right next to them. When I had one of my c-sections they had a intern ( or I think they call them residents) do the C and I didn't worry a bit because my Dr was right there beside him! ALL Dr's have their firsts and seconds and so on. :) July will be here before you know it!

you will be right after me!

Did you make your Appointment ?

Hey we share the same issues loosing the butt after surgery I'm defiantly concerned because that's where I gain & lose my weight first . But I've decided not to do it . I've always had a nice butt even when I was much slimmer so that's where my weight goes . Yes the TT will cause weight lost in my case I wish it didn't ( only the fat that's removed from my tummy ) but if I lost 5 lbs I'm Ok WIth that but 10 -15 is not what I want . I'm hoping for the best I read your appetite is Nil & void after surgery I wanted to cut out the red meat n pork and just concentrate on fish & poultry after surgery I defiantly will avoid my salt intake not going to be easy but first things first I will stop using Lawrys season salt n use mrs dash and I guess I will be counting calories (something I thought I would never do) I'm also going to join Alvin alley for Zumba & hip hop Abs and a belly dance class as soon as my PS clears me to exercise . If your in the manhattan area maybe u will be interested they have a 2 class introduction for $25 ( not bad ) and the class is 1to 1.5 hrs long depending on the class u choose they also have . Palates and yoga if you ever want to attend just inbox me i can always use a buddy . Oh and I'm going to invest in this juicer I saw I also ran across a hola hoop with weights inside for a good cardio work . I have the website if interested , I just want to stay fit after my TT & MR I don't want to waste my $$$ that's 1 of my concerns I'm a foodie with a good appetite I'm going to be learning how to live to eat & not eat to live .best wishes and keep me posted . On your consultation .

Hi Myriam, you'll do great with sx. The most hard days will be first 3 but by week 2 you'll be so happy you did it. And the fact that you got all the support you need, should make your recovery easier. I can't wait to see your result
