I had Gastric Bypass surgery 5 yrs ago and lost a total of 137 pounds and kept it off! I have always wanted a tummy tuck but, just never really looked into it. But, now I am ready!!

My surgery is scheduled March 2nd!! Have anyone in the DFW area had or knows someone who had a TT with Dr. Ronald Friedman? I have researched and researched and found only GREAT things about him...what I really love is he is an artist he sculpts woods and marble.

His work is phenomenal!! So, I know he will do my body just fine!! His results are flawless!! I had my first consult with his nurse assistant and will have my pre-opt consult with him next Monday 9-26-11 I am just soooooo excited!

Welcome to this wonderful site. It's a great support system. Because I was so prepared for my surgery by knowing what to expect, it has made my recovery go so much better then I could have ever expected. It's because of this site that I was so prepared.

Congratulations on your weight loss. What a huge accomplishment. I think you will see amazing results with a tummy tuck. As part of my TT, I had lipo of my lower tummy and flanks. I also had some muscle repair but that wasn't to extensive because I never had children.

I am very excited for you because I know you are going to be thrilled with your TT. This procedure has one of the highest satisfaction rates. It is so worth it.

Thank you for responding...I was beginning to wonder if people respond to posts on here...LOL...Yes, I am very excited and I appreciate you for your words of wisdom and encouragement. I will keep you posted.

My surgeon will do lipo of my abdomen and will do muscle repair...I have a son and I was a fairly large woman so muscle repair will be GREAT for me...I already do 100 ab crunches every other day and I can see some abs under all that skin and flab...so we shall see!! I have 6 months to go!! It seems soooooo far away!!

That 6 months will go fast. Your special day will be here before you know it. When I decided it was time to do this, I made an appointment with my plastic surgeon and 30 days later I was having my surgery. I still can't believe this Tuesday I will be 4 weeks post-op.

hi! i just had my tt on monday and yes this website is very helpfful. It prepared me mentally. and im glad decided for the overnight stay i stayed overnight as well and im so glad i did. Surguery was a scary thing for me and not knowing what to except afterwards and being at the hospital just gives you a liitle piece of mind that someone professional is there to watch you. good luck ! ;)

im doing really good thank you for asking. im 3 days post op now. it can get pretty painful but nothing pain pills cant care of. day by day i feel myself getting better and better. im excited to see my results once the sweeling goes down im in awe now seeing that my saggy belly is gone. i cant imagine once i get better;D. But one word of advice you should have someone to help you at least the 1st week its kinda hard to do the little things your used to doing like getting out of bed or reaching for your phone or a drink of water. hope this helps a little. dont hesitate to ask if you have aany questions. like i said before the website is wonderful.
