Omgosh I miss my slow recovery time last year. So quiet and calm.
Not much time but wanted to say I've gained 8 lbs on the scale since surgery. BUT I love my body more than ever. My stomach looks amazing. I have stomach definition. My scar is still very noticeable. ..I wouldn't change it for A Million Dollars.
I'd go to Dr Ralston again in a heart beat and I'd do this surgery over a thousand times. Couldn't be more thankful for it.

Provider Review
Love my result so much. Dr Ralston did an amazing job on my new tummy. He is a very conservative surgeon--my recovery "Rules" were more strict than a lot of other's I have read. BUT! I needed them! I am 100% satisfied with my result and will forever be grateful to Dr. Ralston for helping me FINALLY feel amazing in my own skin. (or lack of skin, hahah!) The office was beautiful, wait times were like 30 seconds. They weren't overbooked, I didn't feel like just a number. The nurse is awesome. Loved everyone so much. I am 5 hours away, so I didn't see them for follow up care--but I called frequently (they did not call to check on me, which I thought was a tad odd, but maybe I called often enough I didn't give them time to do it themselves!) and they were great about answering all of my questions and making me feel secure in my recovery. The overnight center I stayed in, I had the most amazing nurse Jillian. I loved my stay there and was so thankful to have that 24 hours(ish) time to recover with help. I traveled straight home 5 hours after I was discharged and I didn't experience any complications at all. Thank you real self dot com for giving me somewhere to learn about my surgery pre, during and post operation. I am grateful for this site!! And all the friends I have found while being actively involved with it. This surgery was the answer to many prayers. Can't say enough, how worth it was FOR ME!
