Just had my consultation with my PS. I did have another consult scheduled with a second PS, but cancelled after meeting Dr. Traci Temmen. Dr. Temmen but me at ease. Her enthusiasm about my anticipated tummy tuck with lipo let me know I did not want anyone else performing the procedure. She spent as much time with me as I needed and answered every question my husband and I had (and we had a lot). I plan on updating as I get closer to my scheduled procedure in December. Right now, my emotions are going from excitement to doubt, but I hear that is what can be expected at this stage.

I can't believe it's been almost two years since your tummy tuck surgery with me at the Plastic Surgery Center of Tampa! I hope you're still doing great and enjoying your new, post- tummy tuck body! -Dr. Traci Temmen

Well here they are; my before photos. Having full term twin boys each over six pounds and a third son weighing 6 lbs, 8oz left my 5'1" frame with a bit of what I call my "baby fat". I have been wanting a tummy tuck done for 20 years. Finally at the young age of 55, I am scheduled for tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo on December 19.

I know, I have my calendar marked. I went for a second consult Wednesday just to be sure I made the right decision with my PS. The consult did not go well and I am certain that was a sign that my first impressions with my PS were on the mark. I've been looking at Victoria Secret ads with such enthusiasm that I will be able to wear some of that soon.

I had my required EKG done today by my primary MD. All went well, EKG and BP normal. I had this fear that my EKG would show something which would prevent me from having the surgery. Next up...blood work and chest x-ray. Time seems to suddenly be speeding up.

From my review page you can send me a "private" note. It is much easier to communicate that way. I'm hanging in there. Had my EKG and going for my chest x-ray and blood work. Panic is begining to set in LOL

I understand about the emotional rollercoster. I too have moments of wondering if I should do thiys. Then after I read positive reviews, I once again become excited. I would love to hear your post operative review. Good luck with your procedure!!
