I'm a 45 yr old mom of 4. My last son was born via emergency c-section in 2005. Because his heart rate was rapidly dropping, they literally ripped him out of me. I was left with a nasty vertical scar. It has bothered me for the last couple of years because of how the skin grew back together. It has become even more bothersome after losing almost 60lbs in the last 3 years. Between the scar and loose skin my stomach is a mess, so I have decided on a tummy tuck. I had my consult yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for August 2, 2013. I am nervous and excited.

My experience with Dr. John Alspaugh and staff has been great!!! From the very first consultation, they made me feel comfortable and he took his time to answer any and all questions that I had. The day after surgery I received a thank you card in the mail and a personal follow up call from him asking about my condition!!!! He is one of the best ps in the area!!! I'm very pleased with my surgical outcome!

Best thing you can do for yourself! Congrats. You will not be sorry, I had mine done because of the skin flap. (Pannus) But after it was done I was amazed. Only wish I had done it years ago. Had it not been for infections and such under my pannus I would have not had a tt. What a mistake that would have been.

You have made a great choice. I have had two friends that have had TT from Associates in Plastic Surgery within the last month ( May) and they both look FABULOUS! I am having the BBB scheduled for June 28 also being done by APS so I am super excited. I would have done the TT but I'm too afraid of the cut. Good Luck!

Well I'm on the flat side. I arrived at my PS at 7:30 and was immediately greeted by my nurse. She took me back and got my iv started. Then the anesthesiologist came in and spoke with me. My ps came in and did his markings, and said he actually thought I had lost even more weight so there more lipo was required. From there I actually worked over the the operating room. There were a few light hearted jokes from the OR personnel, then it was literally lights out. The next thing I remember was my nurse calling my name 3 hours later.
