My journey......

After 8 pregnancies (7 live 1 twin still birth) I like many women , started to see my body like the aftermath of a natural disaster . Before babies I was never bigger than a size 6' and now I am close to a 14-16' I hate shopping for cloth , I look like am 5 months pregnant, it is starting to affect my self esteem so I decided to do something about it while am still in my 30's. I first consulted dr. Yager in 2002, I was very at ease with him, he was very professional and his staff was really attentive , he suggested a lipo of full back, fat transfer to the buttocks and a tummy tuck.... I agreed 100%, only the price was a little out of my reach then, (7000 abdominoplasty, 4000 lipo, 2500 fat transfer= 13,500 total), so I was sad I could not afforded then, but I decided to postpone it and start saving. Last Saturday feb 22, 2014 I saw him again and we decided to go ahead with the original plan. He explained that the full back includes the flanks and love handles, I asked him if we could lipo my upper abdomen too because I wanted better results with the tummy tuck and he told me not to worry that he would do it no extra charge, I was so happy!!!!!!, so I paid my deposit and we set the dates.... April 18 I'll get the lipo and buttocks , and may 2nd tummy tuck....

I can honestly say am not scare, I know I might seem odd, but am not afraid "yet", maybe is because I want this so bad, or maybe as time comes closer I will start to, but so far all I feel is a lot of anxiety , can't wait to be done.... I find myself thinking about it many times daily....I'll try upload some picture and keep this blog updated, please keep me in your prayers ....

Dr. Yager is an amazing doctor, am. So happy I decided to do my procedure with him. I have so much respect for his practice, his staff are so effective and in top of everything,. Four days Post-op I felt the binder was too tight and made me a little hard to breath, I call the office and mentioned the shortness of breath to the nurse and immediately dr Yager took over, asked me to call and ambulance, talked to the paramedics personally over the phone, gave them his cell phone number and took the information of the hospital I was going to be taken to....by the time I got there he had already called and spoken to the doctors in the ER, what kind of test I needed done, while we waited I was told he called twice to be on the same page as the doctors there, and asked to be kept updated,,, he also called my house while I was in the hospital to tell my mother I was ok .... Now I don't know many doctors that gets so hands on and am forever gratefully he did, not another doctor that is just in for the money.... I will continue to go to him for any procedure, because I can see is not just the literature on the broshure.....happy customer
