10.09.12 ~ One year post op. I can’t believe...

10.09.12 ~ One year post op. I can’t believe it’s been a year already! Sorry I haven’t been on here in awhile. Just had a check up w/ Dr. B the other day, and everything is going fine. My scars are taking a little longer to heal, but I’ve always been a slow healer, so I’m not too worried. Bikini season came and went, and due to my lack of exercising, I never got the abs I wanted…haha. I was finally able to wear a bikini without being ashamed of my body.

Here’s a summary for those who don’t want to read my entire story.

Previous stats:
Height: 5’0”
Bra size: 34A
Weight: 111-113

Current stats:
Bra size: 34C (Full C)
Weight: 106-107

Okay, so I’ve been thinking about the pros and cons of my mommy makeover, and here is the list I came up with:

Pros:
1. I love my new boobs and that they don’t look fake.
2. I love that I can wear tight shirts again. After hiding in baggy shirts all these years, I didn’t realize how much I missed wearing form fitting shirts.
3. I no longer sit around and grab the nastiness (which was my gut) every day.
4. I am finally comfortable with my body.
5. TMI: My husband is always wanting to attack me. haha!

Cons:
1. I had to wipe out our savings account to pay for the procedures (but it was worth it!).
2. Parts of my abdomen are still numb, and sometimes I have itching (or phantom itching) that no amount of scratching will ever satisfy. That’s what really drives me crazy.
3. My husband is always wanting to attack me. My Dr. should offer some husband repellant because sometimes I just need a break…haha!!!

Anyways, good luck to all of you out there considering a MM. To me, it was very well worth it. Send me a message if you have any questions.

6 months post op ~ Scars are healing well. Dr....

6 months post op ~ Scars are healing well. Dr. recommends silicone strips to thin out the thicker scars. My bra size is 34C (full C). I need to work out, so I can get some abs for bikini season!!!

11.10.11 ~ 5 weeks post op. Nothing new to report...

11.10.11 ~ 5 weeks post op. Nothing new to report except that it was probably PMS that was making me so irritable in my last post. My boob pains have gotten a lot better…still sensitive at times, but much, much better overall.

Posting my latest bikini pics and my TT scar.

Dr. Michael Bodgan is the best doctor anyone could ever ask for! I am truly blessed to have found him to do my procedures for me. I live close to his Southlake, Texas office, but although if you do not live nearby, it is well worth it to travel to see him. He and his staff make you feel comfortable the moment you walk into his office. He is gentle and kind and is exceptionally intelligent but does not carry a “God complex” that other doctors may have. Read over his credentials on his website, and you will see just how brilliant he is! Dr. Bogdan spent over an hour and a half with me during my initial consultation and made sure I didn’t have any questions left unanswered. He explained all the procedures thoroughly and went over the complications which may arise. I was confident he would do an excellent job on my procedures. What I did not expect was that he was a pure genius regarding post-surgery pain management. I have gone through 3 c-sections as well as 4 wisdom teeth extractions, so I have a lot of experience with post-surgery recovery pain. To prepare myself for the abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) recovery, I read all the online stories about others’ recovery experiences and braced myself for the worst (what can I say…I’m a pessimist!) Instead, I ended up with the most amazing recovery possible, and I can honestly say that I felt no pain whatsoever besides the back pain from walking hunched over the first week. Dr. Bogdan and his board certified anesthesiologist wife, Dr. Veve, have a perfect system down for a comfortable surgery. He has even called me personally the first few days after surgery just to make sure I was doing okay. I have never had to wait more than a few minutes to see him at any of my follow up appointments. Visits with him are always pleasant, and he always makes sure that I leave with all my questions answered. I am extremely satisfied with my results thanks to his expertise. I would recommend Dr. Bogdan 1000% to anyone (and no, that’s not a typo…I do recommend him one thousand percent!!!) P.S.
