I'll be 31 on Friday. I have 3 girls and with those beautiful girls came 3 c-sections. My tummy is gone. My skin is saggy and its such a downer. I had breast augmentation done 2 yrs ago around this time and I am very happy with my results. It was a birthday gift to myself. Now its time to work on my tummy. Another birthday gift for myself.
I want my confidence back and I want that "beach body". I have my first consult on March 9th. I am very excited. Im using the same surgeon i used before. He was really good and I was very satisfied with the work he did and the staff. They were very helpful. I will post more info after my first consult.

Hey, me and you have the same surgery date!!! We can go through this together!!!!
March 10, 2012
Hey!! Yes we do. Cool. I am sooo excited. April 26th is so far away though but this gives me time to get things in order and start planning. Dr told me I didnt have that much fat around my mid-section. I looked down and said "are we looking at the same stomach cause that is alot of fat right there" lol He said it was mainly stretched skin. So im happy about that. I have my pre-op visit on April 13th. Well....keep me posted on ur journey and I will keep u posted on mine.
March 10, 2012
Yes april 26th is far but before we both know it, it's here...i started getting some stuff together already. Your doctor is funny!!! lol!!! My pre-op is the first week in april i just have to get the date from doc. Right now trying to finish my semester in school and putting things together for my 2 daughter's bdays...they are both in april 8th and the 16th..did not plan that but my god it is a lot of work getting party stuff, cake, decorations and all that good stuff...i will definitely keep you posted!

hey smiley..how are you doing? i had to reschedule my surgery for May 25th...husband is traveling this month..are you getting excited yet??/ One more week girl and you are going to be on the flat side!
April 16, 2012
Hey suejohn01, Im doing ok. Trying not to get excited....who am I kidding? Im SOOOOO excited and a little nervous. Can't wait, 10 more days. Seems like just a lil while ago i was countin 35 days to go. I have so many other appts scheduled for the kids and stuff so thats keepin me busy. Yeah, i was reading ur post about the reschedule. It seems to be for the better. You are definitely gonna need him around when u have the surgery. U def shouldnt go through that alone. But Im sure it will all work out for u. Did u have the party for ur daughters? If so, how'd it go?
April 16, 2012
Hey smiley, glad to hear that you are getting the appointments out of the way...yeah i was so upset to had to do the rescheduling then i wanted to have it in June and ps informed me that he was leaving.:-( i called him this morning and yes oh yes he has me scheduled for May 25th @7.30am...my pre-op is April 30th @10.00am..ps will be taking vacation the first two weeks in may and he wants to have me already for him when he returns...the only thing left to do now is have my bloodwork redone (since i had it done in March)....Yes, we had the party on easter sunday after church, it was a lot of work but well worth it ill upload a pic of the cupcakes i made for them so you guys could see...Enjoy the rest of your day and i will be anxiously awaitng your updates and pics...Take care
April 17, 2012

I have my first consult with same doctor next week and curious what to expect. Are his rates set or are they negotiable?
April 22, 2012
Hi Gift_to_me, I really like him and his staff. They are very nice. Christie and Mary Jo really are nice people. They take u to the exam room and u put on a cute pinkish/orange gown. They doctor comes in and depending on your procedure he accesses what needs to be done. For me, he looked at how much fat and skin i had around my abdomen. He said I didnt have much fat but alot of skin which shocked me. I think his rates are based on how much fat u have around ur stomach. While I was in the waiting room I heard one of the staff members talking on the phone explaining the cost of a tummy tuck. She said to the person that it was around 7k and that wasnt including the hospital fee or anesthesia. But honestly im really not sure if his rates are set or not. I hope this helps u. Plz keep us informed after ur consult.
