I am 6 months post op my T.T procedure and am very happy with the results. My doctor is very good at what he does but is definitely lacking a bedside manner...he answers all your concerns but only if you ask them..so go in informed and with all your queries written down...he works out of a few locations so that was convenient for me...I wanted the procedure done in a hospital setting so he was able to deliver that one..however there was little personal post op care and was pretty much sent home after just a few hours..that was difficult...first 2 weeks were really hard..my binder was on too tight so was in pain because of that and didn't even know that was the reason and was unable to get that corrected because it was a weekend and the dr was unaccessible..so its the little things that would have made a big difference in my overall experience and recovery that has me rating this dr. as average.., good luck.

alright then folks..an update is due..i had my full tt with love handle lipo on june 15...dr. said all went well..as for me..i was pretty out of it for the first 3 or so days...my binder was on toooo tight..gave me lots of discomfort but my pc was unavailable for concerns...i didn't have drains and that seems ok.i am super numb around the whole tummy area..i don't know how others are up and about within the week...i don't seem to have much energy to do much...got my staples taken out on day 7 and that felt better..been using a light bag of peas recently to help bring down swelling in ab. i have begun to wean myself off the heavy painkillers..back is sore...i don't know..this better be worth it i keep telling myself...good luck to everyone else
