I haven't posted in a long time, but have had several request -so here it is. I could not be happier with my results. I absolutely love my doctor and the entire experience was well worth it. I can't tell you that it's a "fix all," so if you are looking for a quick fix forget it. You still need to exercises regularly and eat well to maintain. In the last month, I have been working out at least 4-5 times per week and I feel great. I have not changed my lifestyle otherwise. I can still play sports, lift weights, do handstands, etc and I never feel a foreign object inside of me.
If you're in my area I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Messa! Good luck!

Thank you!!! I think I'll need help :P - I'm planning mid 2014 ... since I want to lose weight first, and I'm still breastfeeding my 10 months old - Did take long to get an appointment with him?

Definitely loose as much weight as you would like and then schedule an appointment. Within two or three weeks if I recall correctly is how long it took. In the mean time I interviewed about 7 other surgeons. Also, you need to stop breastfeeding at least 3 months prior to surgery. I stopped in Feb and got operated in June 2012 6 months after giving birth. 6 weeks later I was at the beach for a company convention.

Ok, I'll do it then :) - I plan to stop BFeeding in 2 months (September 2013), and loose 20 lbs by Jan 2014 (I'm on WeightWatchers right now) - Then start scheduling appointments with PS - Wish me luck!! Thanks!!!!

I just started working out last week, I haven't done it in months (not a good idea). Like I said in the last post, surgery is not magic. You still have to keep in shape to maintain results. My thighs have gotten fatter and cellulite has creaped in I am not horrible so I am hopeing the working out will help. I do feel more swollen and numb in my stomach so not sure if that has to do with working out. I haven't been to PS since Nov. I need to schedule an appointment , i never took my 6 months post op pics. The boobs are great maybe a bit bigger than I expected, but I'm ok with it. The scars are gone around areola and the line going down is not terrible. The tummy tuck is great although I do have a very small dog ear on one side, but so small it doesn't bug me. The belly button is still pretty closed, hopefully if the swollening goes down it will be better.
