“Tummy Tuck with Lipo - Walnut Creek, CA”

Hi everyone! My name is Jen. I have 2 beautiful kids.. My oldest is 8 years old and my youngest is almost 4.
On both pregnancy I gained significant weight. I am barely 5'2 and yet I managed to reach 205lbs on both during pregnancy. I was originally 115lbs prior to being pregnant.

After my son turned 2 I have decided that I am blessed to have 2 healthy children and sure that I was no longer to have anymore kids.

I joined the gym and started eating healthy. I lost lots of weight. I am now only 128lbs.

But stomach has not improved as much as I wanted to... I knew that one day I will have to do a tummy tuck. I've always dreamed to have a flat tummy. Inspite of my hard work.. I still am left with a pooch on my stomach.

So this year as my 35th bday gift for myself..I've decided to do a tummy tuck!

I've researched so my surgeons in my area and I felt really comfortable with Dr. Behmand.

I am scared to be put under... I just really don't know what to expect... But I am very excited about my results.

Hi everyone : ) I'm sooo new to this but i enjoy reading everyone's experience.. Makes me nervous and excited at the same time : )
I'm sorry I don't have any pics yet but for some reason I'm having a hard time uploading them from my iPhone or iPad : (
Ive got two more sleep and getting really nervous!
So I was suppose to have a full TT and lipo on my flanks but at last min my surgeon thought that lipo from my back will be more beneficial. Will see : )

I took my first bath today! Felt soooo good! I must say that I was dissapointed the way my tummy looks.. I'm pretty swollen and definitely don't see the curve I was hoping... I guess I'm expecting too much.. It is my 3rd day only after all! I still need to poop hopefully that will happen today or soon!

Day 5 after surgery: I'm swollen and feel 10lbs heavier! My legs are also swollen : (
I'm dissapointed all of a sudden because I could not even put on my regular pants, I had to borrow my hubby's basketball shorts to wear while staying in the house.
I can't wait for my post op ck to discuss my concern with my PS.
I was also comparing my before waist to my waist now, and I look straight with no curves at all. I know it's quite early to judge but it sucks to look bigger now than before my surgery : (
Sigh* I'm just now checking since I was totally drugged up with pain meds for the first few days.
