WORTH IT$7,000
I am 30 years old , and mother of 3. after gaining over 45 lbs on my first pregnancy my skin was extremely stretched out. A tummy tuck was the only thing that could fix it.
my gut said Dr. J was my best option and thank god i went with him. im so happy so far with my results, i'm 15 days post op, feeling good. my belly button still looks a little weird but hopefully it will get better. my scar is very thin and although the pads i need to wear under my binder are very uncomfortable, they really are leaving my skin nice and smooth. i was only on pain meds for 4 days .i think that he really cares for the results to be as best possible. and feel he takes his time to do things right. I would recommend him to my friends.
something i wish i knew i beforehand is, the uncomfortable sleeping was going to be.and this binder.oh and i was prescribed nausea pills, which were very expensive . and i did not use at all. i wish they would had told me that i would get nausea medication at the hospital. and i could have waited to see if i truly needed the other ones. i could have saved my self $70!.

Who is Dr. J?
Hi! Just had my consult. Do you have any photos you would feel comfortable sharing of the scar and belly button? We’re you hunched over for a long time? Thanks!

Welcome to RealSelf. Oh yes the sleeping is pretty hard the first 4-6 weeks. No worries thought this will get easier as time passes. Hang in there and keep us up to date on how you are doing.
