hi :) wow we live real close to each other, I live in the NE so you are only a few min. from me. I looked at your review, updates and photos, YOU are looking GOOD!!!!! I found it funny that you also were having the same issue with the pre tt clothes. I am really looking forward to being able to get back to crossfit i miss everyone and I miss getting to punch stuff :) hey, have you ever had botox or anything? I wanted to do the blue peel and botox I figure doing that in like a week would be a good time, I wont be up and out of the house much so the blue face and peeling wont scare anyone. I would like to use a place in town. I know sometimes they give discounts on partys of 2 or more, or at the very least many give credit to ya if you refer someone.

Hi, you look great! I live in Charleston and researching great PS in the area. Do you mind sharing the name of the doc who did your surgery? He/she did a great job!

CHARLESTON?? you have got to have a consult with my dr then! Dr. Dennis Schimpf, he is with MUSC. I cannot say enough GREAT things about him and his staff. I had my BL last August and had my TT this past March, both surgeries were done at East Copper Hospital (which was AWESOME!) I am 100% happy with my results from both surgeries~ If you are looking for the best of the best you need to call and see him for a consultation! Please feel free to ask me anything...I have not updated with any recent pics but I need to! Goodluck!

Thank you for the info...I've been surfing this site for a few weeks now and don't really know where to begin. I'm very nervous and want the best results. I will definately check out Dr. Schimpt. How long was your recovery for the TT and did he do lipo? I also want to get a BL too. Yes, please post some pics!!

So, I am 8 weeks PO...I still have some swelling in the afternoons right above my incision, and my hips and thighs "I hope are still swollen! I did have lipo on the outter thighs so I am hoping I continue to go down in those areas :) Overall I am VERY HAPPY with my results, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my doctor, I could not have asked for a better surgery or recovery (he did my breast lift too)!!

Today is 4 WEEKS PO, I will have to say it has gone by fast even though I still have one drain. I go this Thursday and feel very very good that he will remove it then (30 days, really??). I will have to say that the drains were the worst part of my recovery, they are just plain pain in the a$$!!!!! Happy with results so far, I do have some swelling even tho I have the drain, hope it keeps going away with each day that passes, my swelling is much worse in my hips and thighs than in my tummy! :/

I'm your 1 drain dragging sister! I cancelled appointment today b/c not consistently putting out under 30 ccs just 1 day and I too am shooting for Thursday! Fingers crossed for us both! I'm only 2 weeks and a day with mind so I can imagine your irritation level with it! And my swelling is worse in hips butt then tummy too! Hoping on e the drain comes out we will start to see the more southern regions calm down. You look good though! We drop kicking these drains Thursday!!!! Deal? Lol!

Everytime I look at the before and after shots of the girls on this website I am just flat out amazed...A month of a drain qualifies you for some kind of award...I would have flipped out! You look great!

Okay ladies, it's officially a couple of hours away....when I wake up in the morning I will take that anti-bacterial shower, put that patch behind my ear and with only a sip of water, take my nausea pill and head to the hospital. Next time I come back here to comment, I will join my illustrious sisters on the flatside. Wishes to all my twins having surgery 4/18 and well wishes for those recovering! *muah* and goodnight!
