Hope everyone is healing good. Im P.O DAY 20 and feeling good. Im still swollen. Does anyone know how long it takes for the swell to go down?? Today was my first day back at work i work a 7-3 shift office job. But did lots of runing around today. By 3pm I was beat my
back was killing me. miss taking my naps
during the day. So far my incision still burns a
bit from time to time. I started putting
merderma on it. My belly button still have ink
from when the surgeon marked me before my
surgery I tried dial soap to remove it didnt
work alcohol didnt work I even tried makeup
remover didnt work. Any ideas what would
work to remove the ink?? Gnite everyone to all the ladies that had the surgery happy healing. To all the ladies upcoming surgery wish ya the best. :)

Hi evavelez:) so glad you are doing well! I'd love to see more pics!! I had my consult at lenox hill on wed. Saw a resident who seemed very capable. I wasn't impressed with his bedside manner, but I wasn't unimpressed either... Just felt kind of neutral about him. He is looking into dates for me at the end of May (he has to get a supervising surgeon to commit to a date before he can book anything). I'm really excited, but also wondering if I should go to a few more consults... I'm curious, did you go to a few? Did you see a fellow or a resident and did you see any before/ after pics? I really want this, but I don't want to rush into anything and live to regret it later...

Hi zabette. I did get a consult before i went to lenox hill but they quoted me 10,000. So when i found out about lenox hill n the price. I decided to stick with them. I didnt see any before n after pics. I felt very comfortable with the fellow her name is Dr. Burrell she is great n told me she was gonna make me look great. I just took her word. And everything went great im glad i did it.. im sure you will be fine just go thru it.. who is the attending thats going to be with the resident?? mines was Dr. Schulman i looked him up n his work is great.

I'm not sure who the attending will be yet. The surgeon Said that he has to see who is available. I am starting to feel a little more brave! Hoping to go through with it soon!

You paid a good price for your surgery, and you look good Hun! I hope you are healing good, I'd like to see more pictures! I keep looking for a lower price so I stumbled on your page. But I did find a PS in Pennsylvania who has some good prices! He charges $3000 for the surgical fee for the tummy tuck, plus another $1200-2100 for the hospital and anesthesia fee. If you want to add lipo, it's just another $1000. This is for anyone who is looking for a plastic surgeon who is skilled and affordable.

Happy friday everyone. Hope my febuary ttuck girls are healing great. Im p.o.day 9 only have back pain that wont go away. Does anyone knows how long it takes for us to stand straight?? its painful to try to stand straight. A friend of mines recomended for me to get massages that it would help. Has anyone heard of getting special massages for tt?

brand spanking new here- I live in St. Louis, MO. Any ideas on where to get TT with lipo on abs and flanks? All consults have been $8-$13k. I see here tons of ladies at $4k-$6k. I saved the cash and now its sooo much more expensive then I thaught. I am willing to travel if it makes sense financially and it is save.

Hi jloeffel my surgery was done in lenox hill hospital the reason why I paid that price is because the Dr thats doing the surgery is the fellow that needs further teaching under close observation by the attending.
