I'm 34 a mother of two (4 & 2), happily married just not happy with my body after two rough pregnancies. Both were c-sections which left me with a droppy tummy and the right side sagging more then the left.

I am having a breast reduction at the same time, covered by insurance, so adding in the TT was cheeper then alacarte. My procedures are today!

Day 2 PO. Feeling like a semi truck hit me. Though from what I can see, I'm happy so far. When is it that you move to a compression garment? Is it after drain tubs come out?

Ok, had the worst BM in my life but do feel much better. Also took a shower and feel semi human. One more day and last two drains will be out. I think day seven has been my turning point to feeling better. As of right now I could bounce a quarter off my abs. Can't wait to see as things progress. However, belly button seems really low and my chest seems smaller then planned.

Well it's been 17 days since surgery. I am very...

Well it's been 17 days since surgery. I am very happy. Doing a lot probably to much but feel great. So happy, can't wait to see as swelling continues to go down. Also down 10 lbs!

Great review?

Oh thank you so much. It's very difficult for me at this time to research several doctors. With my husband deployed and having to take care of three small ones alone is a task of its own. This will help narrow my search down tremendously.

Dr Terry McCurry was my surgeon.

Hi Robin. Hope you have a speedy recovery. I am in the process of finding a certified surgeon to perform a tummy tuck for me. I'm a mother of three and no matter how much I exercise and diet, my stomach still has a pooch. I wanted to know, who was the surgeon that operated on you?

I'm very excited for you! I had a breast reduction two years ago and it really isn't that bad. The lipo hurt more than anything! Just listen to your doctor and have fun bra shopping!!!!
