WORTH IT$14,950
Today I drove my kids to school because my help cancelled at the last minute! That was quite an experience! My abdominal muscles were "stiffening up" as if I'm an seized machine! Then, when I got home and eventually made my way out of the car (I drive a small SUV, so it's fairly high), I couldn't straighten up! I walked into the house bent over like a little old lady with a hunched back. I'm beginning to think that I might need some serious physical therapy right about now.

Dr Taylor was referred to me by my friend who was referred to him by another friend of ours. He has definitely met all of our expectations. I am thrilled with his surgical knowledge, his skills I believe will equal his knowledge (i'm just 2 days post op), and his bed side manners and overall demeanor are second to none!

I too will be getting BA, TT and Lipo so thank you for posting your story and updates. You look fantastic! You didn't mention if there was any pain involved with your thighs and knees from the liposuction. For some strange reason, I am kind of worried about this lol. How are you feeling otherwise?
Honestly, there IS pain associated with the liposuction. In fact, the tummy tuck is now the least painful of the three. My knees and thighs still hurt ~ not excruciating pain (more like the pain you feel when you bang your leg against a hard object, or the pain you feel after being hit with force. I guess, almost the feeling of being beaten up :o) I must tell you though, I'm a big baby and have a very low pain tolerance so you'll more than likely be very fine!
You look great! Contests!
Thanks! Its a bit funny how my mood goes from one of "I'm so happy I did this!" to "Boy, when will this be over?" The healing process is much longer than I expected, but I'm hanging in there.
**congrats!!!
Thanks!
You look great!!!! Omg that's what happened to me and still does just not quite as severe the spasms of the tummy muscles!!! I didn't drive for 3 wks bc the muscle repair up top was extensive and really takes a while to heal... It is a long recovery but everyday gets a bit better! The more active I am the more time I spend the following day with legs up! WTG!! You will feel much better with every week that passes!!!
Looking good! Dr Taylor did my breast and I always get compliments. He did exactly what I wanted he is the best!

Running a slight fever for the past few days 99.7/101.3/99.1 Not a huge concern but I'm still concerned. I think my tummy looks good, my breasts are still sore and painful to the side (there's a slight bulge in my outer muscles to the side of my body), but the breasts look good too. My lipo - I can't tell the difference as yet (I hope this changes soon). Is this normal?
