“Full TT with Lipo & Lipo on Back, Hips and Inner Thighs - Newark, DE”
Spent: $6,240 in Newark, DE
I am a 28yr old mother of 2 beautiful kids ages 6 & 2.... I wanted a TT done after my son!... I have always been plus size all my life 13/14, After my son who is now 2 my mid section just stayed big and I have tried to get it down.. But nothing worked for me.
I have been looking for a Dr over a yr now and didn't find any I like! they all treated me like a number!.I was finally going to give up when I came across this site and I was glad I did. I found my Dr right here off "Realself".
I am going under the knife on August 6th after god. I have a pre-op on the 22nd.

Sorry I haven't up date in a while.....I am running around getting everything done for my kids. I had my pre-op on 7/22, got lost in DE but found my way to the center every thing went great my blood pressure was high so my PS ask me to see my primary Dr for him to clear me for surgery. I went to my Primary Dr today and he put me back on my pressure pills twice a day an he clear me for surgery he told me the last blood work I did was Feb and every thing is fine just my cholesterol was a bit high (I love eggs)back then but nothing has change. I am so glad he cleared me it really had me worried that I might have to cancel my surgery. I am going in on Fri at 10am my PS moved It up from 12 noon. I will up date on Sat or Sun depending on how I feel an post my pos-op pic.

Hey everyone...sorry I am now getting around to up date the pass 3 1/2 days was hell....I got up Fri about 4pm. I was alone till Sat when my mom came to get me out the hospital, We are at the hotel now, I couldn't walk at all the hotel give me a wheel chair to get around. The TT it's self doesn't hurt as much as the lipo my body hurts a lot. AT the hospital I blacked out 2 times when the nurses try to wake me for me to walk. I will finish up date later I feel bad and my lap top just wont connect to the WI FI here and I have to use the hotel guess PC.
