“My Slimming Adventure - Lufkin, TX”
Spent: $4,400 in Lufkin, TX
I had a tummy tuck due to excessive loose skin that hung over my pubic area and stretch marks. I had only one pregnancy, but gained a lot of weight and acquired excessive stretch marks. I hated the way every pair of panties ended up under the roll of skin above my pubic area. The surgical experience was great. It was done in the physician's office which made it easy to keep your privacy intact.

10 days post op and still have one drain in place, hopefully will get it out tomorrow. Stitches are supposed to come out Wednesday. My physician and his nurse are so great; they are so encouraging.

Thanks so much for posting your story and photos here on RealSelf! You're looking really good. What a difference!
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you to get that last drain out tomorrow.
I think I've had some of those little spasms today...ugh.
Hi DixieTexas!
You look wonderful! What a difference in that tummy. As the weeks pass you will notice more and more shape take place as the swelling goes down.
Keep us up to date on your healing and new pictures :)
Sooo glad you posted updated pics. I was thinking about you. I have been following your moms progress as well! You both have amazing results! CONGRATS! How has recovery been for you?
I was researching tummy tucks and came across yours I live in San Antonio and down here the price of a tummy tuck is 6-19k I was just wondering if your price included everything ? Also did you have any lipo done as well ?
you are probably wondering why I didn't use him for my TT if I love him so much....well...I needed more than a TT and he wouldn't do the other necessary procedures all at once. I just needed to get more bang for my buck plus have some adhesions dealt with so I coulf function at work. I also was limited on how much time I could take off of work. So it was better for me to get done all at once...:)
You are definitely in good hands with him...:)
