as of today I still haven't had surgery YET I am still hopeful....my hubby had a truck accident in Dec (2014) which another trucker hit him while he was sleeping...long story short he had a back injury and we are going through our third and finally procedure HOPING we don't need to have back surgery...WE LOST our TRUCKING business which was VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING and EMOTIONAL for the both of us....THANKS to our FATHER ABOVE that I have an AWESOME COUNTY CAREER that I LOVE cause we have FULL PAID HEALTH benefits however we have to be AWARE of our spending cause there's no second (cushion) income coming in...YES there is a LAW SUIT but we are not going to settle no time soon cause of the on going treatment and no final solution for his back...and, I am adding ALL OUR LOSSES cause we gotta COLLECT in the END so we can INVEST for our retirement...ANYWAY, I am looking to have my TUMMY TUCK only in OCT so I am awaiting my new quote...SO KEEP HUBBY and I IN YALL PRAYERS!!!

Prayers to your hubby and you. God works in mysterious ways. Only He knows the best timing.
I find myself questioning whether I made the best decision. Yup!! I said it! I think my boobs are too big, and I think my TT was not done correctly :( But with clothes on, I still look better than before :)
You have a lot of patience!! =)

I think TT and boobs together, is doable. Add in other procedures (like I did) is a bit much. If you will have help, getting out of bed, for at least the first week, then I'd say go for both. You want to make sure all the sutures heal well. (You can't use your arm muscles nor your stomache muscles). Before Sx I didn't think I'd go back for the TT, after surgery...I agree! I would not have gone back. My slight unhappiness with both TT & Boobs has nothing to do w getting them done at same time... Well maybe...LOL. IDK. For my personal situation, I was under for too long & I'm curious to know if PS hadn't have needed to spend time on 3 hernias, would I have seen better results. You are fit, do I believe you would do well!! :)

I knew I had 1 umbilical hernia going in that she was going to repair. Once she was in, she found 2 inguinal hernias on my left side. I had already had 2 inguinal hernias repaired in 2006. So I was under far too long! In my opinion. But God was with us all, and I thank Him that nothing went wrong. And I also had lipo....

Are you having any lipo/fat grafting? I wanted to do everything at once with Dr Pantoja but he said no, I needed to split the surgeries. I love that he is really focused on giving you a good outcome and being SAFE by limiting the time under anesthesia. Ask Dr Pantoja what he recommends for you and go with that. When I was in the waiting room at Dr P's I spoke to 2 girls who had tt and boobs at the same time and they were very happy. Neither of those girls had lipo or grafting (they were both super skinnny little things). They both looked AMAZING! I am definitely going back to Dr P for my boobs later this year, and will have some additional lipo to contour my tummy at the same time. I had such a big muscle repairwith my tt (5 inches!) that he couldn't do any lipo on my front. He said better to do it in 2 stages, especially since I'm going back for boob lift/aug and will be under anesthesia anyway :-)

He said I can do it all... I don't need lipo on my upper body so that maybe the reason and I'm at my BMI...
