Overall he was great. I know he is a busy man so I didn't see him much, but, he had his nurses spend as much time as needed with me. I looked him up many times to make sure there was nothing negative out there about him and I found nothing. And from his other patients pictures, he always has great results. So far, I would recommend him and I would surely go back to him if I decide to do anything else.

You look so cute!!! I love the short little tops! I'm a bit old for them myself but I guess I'll have to plan some nights out to wear one, lol. My experience sounds very similar! I've had little to no pain! I was on morphine and hated it, switched to Vicodin and now taking half of one every 4 to 6 hours and it helps to calm my anxiety about recovery but not pain specifically!
Go Girl! Getting mine done soon!

I'm a month post op so I decided to make an update... I'm feeling great, no real pain, I can still feel it in my abs a bit when I sit up from a laying position. My scar is healing beautifully BUT, I'm still really swollen. Maybe my three kids are preventing me from healing normally. I just want the swollenness to go away...like yesterday. But, everything else is goin great...

Looking good girl :) How r u feeling?? I'm 27 days post op and I feel 85% back to myself again. I had a full TT, lipo, and breast done. Dont worry you'll be fine. The swelling is just temporary. I posted more pics earlier. You will see how much my swelling has gone down. Be patient :)

19 days post op... I am begining to get the blues, I am soooo swollen, more now than ever. I want to think that I may be bloated because I'm on my period now too but I can't even button up my work uniform...the same one I was wearing before the surgery. Will this get better, and when?!?

Congrats to YOU! I think you look WONDERFUL!!
Hey girly, just checkin in with you. You look great! And I read your last update and I am with you girl. I just got off my cycle and I am bigger than I was before it. I am swollen and tight all in my tummy. I have lumps and everything. And my stomach was starting to flatten out. So you are not alone. I'm sure it will get better.
The funnything is I look bigger but I've lost weight. Hummmmm..... doesn't make any sense. And by the way. Now I have a complex about my thighs LMAO!!! Went to try on bikinis and WHOA!!!! They are lookin pretty major! LOL. I gotta hit the treadmill and bust about 10,000 lunges lol just saying.
Keep me updated on your progress.
Ok, I'm glad its just not me, I was beginning to think something was wrong wit me. As for my weight, I keep goin between 165 and 173...its crazy. Once I heal I'm tryin to get back to around 150, I hope that's possible cuz I have never passed 165 since my kids. But, now u know how I feel, lol. And my thighs feel even bigger cuz my waist is smaller...haha. we went to the back last week and I wore caprice and a tank while my kids swam...hopefully I come out of this phase. But I'm wit you, ill be hitting the gym hard again once I'm better. I'll be posting some six today, even tho I'm swollen...and ill check up on u too, hopefully u got updated ones.
