Here I sit the night before surgery standing in the mirror finally really looking at the only part of my body that refuses to change despite my 100lb weight loss after surviving endometrial cancer (I've maintained the loss for 7 years)....I also box & train in the gym 6 days a week so my frustration finally made me take action! In less than 12 hours I will be undergoing extended abdominalplasty & I'm excited! I've spent countless hours reading everyone's stories, peeking at before & after pics here....I am truly grateful for the honesty of other women because it has eased my fears. Two things I'm dreading.....getting up at 5am & being constipated!

Day 1 of PO.....I'm laying on the couch just waking from an incredible nap.....my fear of not pooping comfortably ended up that it wasn't bad. LOL now I'm waiting to feel comfortable enough to take my binder off but is it possible it will all fall "down"....using my humor to get thru my boredom. I'm staying very hydrated taking all my vitamins & other scripts prescribed to me. The strangest thing is despite my swelling its so strange to see a flat abdomin & without giving too much graffic details a normal vijay jay facing the way nature intended! I'm so happy & my surgical team was awesome....my fave thing are my peas 20 mins on 20 mins off :)

I finally took the binder off & got a good look at my new self.....holy crap it's amazing & even with swelling I'm amazed at the incredible work! The shower took a lot out of me & I slept for a long time afterwards. Still shocked I've had only one Percocet & without narcotics during the procedure my fear of pooping isn't even an issue! I'm starting to get bored but my family & friends have blessed me with ready to eat foods & company. Dr. Wiesberg & his team are angels! Shopping is gonna be so much fun :)

Hi! I'm having a TT with dr. Weisberg in two weeks.. Pre op in three days. Your results look great! I'm so nervous and keep worrying about this or that. Any recommendations? Did you have muscle repair or lipo? I'm having lipo of the flanks and inner and outer thighs as well.

Dr. Verne is the BEST! His whole team from the receptionist and into the OR are incredible! I suggest follow his instructions exactly. I didn't have muscle repair but I did have lipo. Trust the process, its worth every moment! I am actually going back for a touch up because I've lost 10 lbs & guess what happened? Lol...it's been 3 years & I would never let anyone else touch my body! I'll take updated photos of now & post later. Tell him Shonna said hi :)

Yes I want to see pics three years after. I thought everyone was nice but very sales-pitched. I just wanted the consult over and they were showing me around and talking about the makeup and the facials and yada yada... Dr Verne seemed nice and professional and tried to make me feel comfortable but how can anyone feel comfortable with a stranger pointing out all of their flaws? Now you have me worried because I want to loose more weight too; but read the TT will be fine unless you lose over 10% of body weight (some said 10-20 pounds some said 30-40 was safe) but I'm thinking 10 pounds wouldn't make a huge diff; although I am sure everyone is diff. Thanks so much!! I'm in the Augusta area...did you have to travel?

I traveled about an hour, I was in York. His practice has expanded since I first saw him & the excitement from the staff is evident, especially because it's all so fresh. It's awesome knowing that ANY service I am interested in is available, especially in the Northeast. Oh my goodness don't be worried. I don't NEED anything done...and certainly my body hasn't morphed. I am THRILLED with my results! My biggest advice is take pictures! Sometimes when I'm feeling "fat" I have to look at my befores to remind me that my body is beautiful & still looks great! I am willing to share my # if you would like.
