Tummy Tuck: Stories

I found out about Dr.Aldea through a good friend of mine that had a tt performed on her. I also had another friend that recommended a PS but when I called his office I didnt get that "warm and fuzzy feeling". I called Dr.A's office and left a message and his wife Dr.E called me back immediately. At first she said they didn’t have any appointments until the mid-October, but she called me back later that day stating someone had cancelled so I was able to go the following week :) I went in for my consultation on September 12, 201 and was super nervous. The front receptionist was very warm and friendly. Within about 15 min Dr.Aldea greeted me and we went into a consultation room. This surprised me because I expected to go get undressed and "get down to business" regarding what procedure I wanted done. lol. In the consultation room Dr.A, asked me first what I knew about a tt. He said he doesn’t like performing surgery on people that are uneducated about the procedure itself. He then asked me about my family, and what my spouse thought about me having the surgery. Before I knew it I felt like I was talking to an old friend. He noticed I had a notebook and asked what questions I had and he answered each and every one of them. I didn’t feel rushed or pressured. I then went into another room to get undressed where Dr.E joined us and we pointed out my areas of concern. I have never felt so comfortable being undressed at a doctor's office in my life. We were talking so much that I forgot about the fact I was only in my undergarments! lol. I could tell that both Dr.A and Dr.E really care about their patients and didn’t pressure me to go with their group or try to “sale me” on what I did not want. At that point I knew Dr.A was the perfect surgeon for me. I actually booked my surgery that day! I have an appointment on tomorrow to check my weight loss so I'll update more then :) Please free to give me any advice/words of wisdom on what to expect over the next 4 weeks to come prior to my surgery. I am so nervous.
