My experience was been better than what I had expected. I thought I was going to have lots of pain but none whatsoever. The transformation was like night and day. When I woke up I saw a drastic change I could not believe it. I decided to have the procedure done because I tried for months working out 4-5 times a week. I was able to strengthen my tummy muscles but I just could not get rid of the loose skin. I had lots of stretch marks from pregnancy and as it was like the more weight I lost it would make the stretch marks look worst it's the weirdest thing. My husband did not think I needed to have a tt because he for some reason says it's sexy because I got it from having babies. Well now that he sees the results from having the tt done he loves what he sees.

My Doctor: Michael A. Bogdan, MD

My rating:

When I went in for my consultation I immediately felt comfortable with the doctor and the office staff. He answered all of my questions and also provided me information with the pros and cons of the procedure. He spent a great deal of time with me to make sure I understand what the procedure entails and his video was very informative. Dr. B has excellent bedside manners and his exam room is exceptionally clean. The results that I was looking for and was telling him during my consultation is exactly what I now have. I would highly recommend Dr. B and if in the future I decide to have any more things done I will go back to Dr. B again. My photos are not very good because my camera is not the best I should have invested in a better one before I had it done.

Thank you for posting your review:)   You look amazing and I am sure you feel great.  Funny how much the hubby's love the flat tummy!

How long ago did you have this done?

LadyDiamond 26 Dec 2011
Thanks I feel great! I had my tt on 12/13. Today was the 1st day I got out of the house (other than going to see my ps) and did alittle shopping it was nice.

Hi Lady D!! You sure look GREAT in your pic.'s-really great job!! I was wondering how you did with your 1st day back to work?? I go back Mon (tomorrow) feel ready but a little scared I'll poop out like halfway through! Happy New Year to you & family! :)
LadyDiamond 1 Jan 2012
I did well but I have a desk job. However, when I got home I was exhausted didn't realize how much until I sat down to watch tv. When did you have your tt? I'll post more pictures soon I'm loving my results it's amazing and dream for me.
Bellanocha 8 Jan 2012
Hi Lady! I had my tt on Dec 22- I made it through work just fine-desk job also- he let me leave an hour early-what a guy! Doing really really good-waiting for the steri-strips to fall off and start scar treatment (from what I can see under the strips it seems like it's very thin!?) I was cleared for all cardio-so looking forward to getting back to the 'y' next week! I'll look forward to your pic's & hope you continue to do well! :)
LadyDiamond 8 Jan 2012
I know what you mean my ps told me I can start back doing cardio, he doesn't want me to do Zumba yet he doesn't want me to do anything that involves my ab muscles, probably another month.
Bellanocha 9 Jan 2012
Isn't it funny!!? This is the one time time can't go fast enough!! LOL
LadyDiamond 9 Jan 2012
I know yeah. I'm afraid to step on the scale although my clothes fit me better I guess it's not that big of a deal.

Hi Ladies~
I just got home from Lake Tahoe, I went to see my PS and yay. My BB stitches came out. I now can use Mederma for my scars. I see him again on 2/13. He said I am 33% healed and I am able to anything I want to do. I have 3 restrictions, No pushing cars, No moving the Re fridge, and this week I can lift up to 40 lbs. Next week I can go to 50. So it feels really good to be free. I will still be posting photos and information on my progress.

So guess what. I am going to the gym and starting the treadmill. I will see about talking to a trainer to see what they suggest for helping me get back in shape.
LadyDiamond 10 Jan 2012
WOW that's great lilorchid68!! How exciting! My ps told me I could do the eliptical/treadmill too just not do any abdominal work outs yet. I'm going to start back on Monday!!! Happy work out!
lilorchid68 10 Jan 2012
Yay, That is so awesome.
I can not wait our gym is getting an eliptical.
Can not wait to start down this journey with you
and Bella. Let the healing began.
Bellanocha 10 Jan 2012
Yay! Lilorchid-Wonderful news-I just did my first stint at the 'y' this am.-went really good-did 45 min on treadmill-felt great to be back at least-only went probably 50% of usual cardio workout-but so far not swollen any more than usual...I realize tonight may by another story but so far so good! HAVE FUN & ENJOY! :)
lilorchid68 10 Jan 2012
Thank you Bella I am so excited and I know I will
pay for my work out later today. I am on my way to the gym now.. But Thank you, you just gave me an idea of what to do today. LOL Lets talk in the am so we can cay OUCH together.

Looking Beautiful!!!!!!!!!
mommy73 15 Jan 2012
Wow! You look great! I'm assuming that you didn't have MR or lipo. That's Awesome that you didn't have any pain! I'm having TT & MR in Dallas on Feb.2 w/no lipo. I'm praying I have very little pain...none would b better.
lilorchid68 15 Jan 2012
Me? No I did not have MR or Lipo, jut the TT. My advice about the pain is to make sure you are very diligent on the pain meds. I took all of mine and iI know the feeling of I need to clean the house, If i do not do it it will not get done. yes it will just close your eyes call your family to your room tell them I am napping when I get up I want this to all be done. and take your nap. Walk a little at a time. and just like any one else on here anytime you have a question please feel free to ask us any time. I will tell you according to what I know.
mommy73 15 Jan 2012
Thank u so much! All of y'all on here r so very helpful & I know when concerns come up after my TT & MR I'll think back to things I've read here & I'll be alot more at peace. U look so good & yes I plan on taking total care of myself & following dr orders.
