tummy tuck!! - Upland, CA

Hello Mrs. Kim just wanted to let you know you look great I also went to Dr. Wang you had messaged me months ago I apologize for not responding. Since my surgery I don't log on any more. But I see you made a great decision! My only complaint was they charged me almost double for the silicone strips, I looked up the brand on line same day I purchased them and was upset that I could have got them cheaper direct I could have gotten five treatments for the price I paid. I feel they could have charged me a few bucks more but not rip me off after I haar just paid them thousands and thousands of dollars. But other then that its been a great experience!!!! I absolutely love my results I'm 6 months post op. My recovery was very speedy and was at river after 4weeks. Hope you the best!!!! And if you have any questions message me I'll give you my private email!!!

My sincere congratulations to you & happy healing :)

what is your doctor's full name and is there a name of his surgical practice?

I am so happy for you that your son is there takin care Of you. That shows that u did an awesome job raising him. I am bumbed because my daughter will not b home from France until the 24th, my sx is the 22nd I was reeeally sad that she could not b here, because I know without a reason of doubt that I will be totally taken care of. She is 22 and loves her mom. It took me a minute to absorb the fact. My mom will b taken care of me and my daughter has talked to her several times about doing a good job until she gets in. It's so sweet I love that Lil girl although she is 6'3 lol. But I'm happy for you and congrats to b on the flat side. I think you are closer to what my blob looks like I can't wait to see your results. Happy Healing with NO pain!!

Looking forward to seeing some after photos! :)

I felt the same way my tummy was the most gross thing I could think of nothing fit me I just was always tryn to hide if from people and when it was time for making out with my hubby it made me sick for him to see my tummy so I would keep it covered.. I wanted my sexy back after years of feeling like something from a another planet. I went in to see a ps dr. After looking around for the best .. I found a female dr here in Michigan she is wonderful so I went in for surgery July 9 2012 and i Was not nervous at all the dr and office staff treated me and family like we was VIP.. Well to make a long story short I got the tummy tuck and my mother in law stayed with me to help around the house and when I say help she did everything cook clean whatever needed to be done she did it .. So trust me when I say that you will need help... And take your meds and follow everything that the dr tells you to do and you will be just fine.. Another thing I will tell you is to get up and walk around the house just sitting around will not help at all you don't want any problems. The sooner you move around the better off you will feel.. And use your breathing machine it will help with you breathing and keep your lungs clean. Drains be careful with them and keep them clean... Now I am 4 months out from my surgery and I still have a lot of swelling going on my tummy is somewhat flat in the morning but as the day go on it gets bigger... I know by now u have heard about swell hell.... Good luck and god bless....

I barley felt a thing if you have had a c section compare it to that ... if you had pain with cesection you will more than likely have pain with tummy tuck.. if no pain during c-section than no pain with tummy tuck : ) Hope that helps if you have had no c sections then I sugest you keep up on pain meds... and if your doctor has an option for a pain pump it does wonders. I never felt any excruciating pain at all. Maybe a little twinge here or there but nothing major! Good luck to you, stay strong, tell you kids everything... I Did even my two year old knows that mommy got a tummy tuck... as long as your honest with them they wont be so scared when all is said and done.
