Would Love To See My Belly Button Again

Full TT - Maryland

Hi! I have been following your story for a few days now, I was really interested in seeing how everything went since I live in Maryland. I looked at your doctor's website and was VERY impressed with how low and clean his lines are. I have to say, you look GREAT! I hope that in the end it is all worth it:-) Please keep us all updated. I will keep checking on your progress, I hoping to get the courage to do this:-)

I will definitely keep everyone updated. I read the not worth it reviews and man did that make me rethink everything again. But then I received your post Kimmers and it made me really excited again and your right we will ALL survive:-)

Thanks Kimmers!
I have read your story, what an inspiration
you are:-) Thanks for taking the time to set this up. I know what I'm feeling has been felt by many others and I am grateful of all the support shown here:-) I have most of my family supportive, but the one who has made me hesitate the most is my Mom. She doesn't think I need it and has warned me about the dangers and has reminded me that I have children that need me. Of course I know that and I wish she just understood why I'm doing this. But I guess what kind of mother would she be if she didn't worry. Thanks again for listening and the support:-) I know that if and when I decide everything will work out. Only positive thinking:-) It does make it harder when you have people telling you, you look great for having three children, and what I see is not what they see:-( Especially my husband, I don't want to be too insecure because he loves me just the way I am and understands that my body has changed since giving birth. God Bless him:-) We have talked about something going wrong, from regreting doing it, to having to do a revision to even death, as much as I don't lime talking about it, and that makes him not want me to do it even more. But on the flipside, wants me to be happy. What to do? I am very involved with my kids school, sports and social life, I don't want to miss out or have my husband bear all that responsibility, I forgot to mention we have four dogs! Anyways just thought I share how I felt. Thanks again for listening:-)

I am online now, need to stop looking but can't. I went back to one of the original doctor's I had in mind, after reading a few reviews of the PS I went to see today, was a little dissapointed with reading two of them. I saw some before and after and noticed that some of the scars are higher than I would like, but the original PS, VERY low, which I want. The thing is he doesn't use a hospital but his accredited facility and uses a CRNA and not an anesthesiologist, should I be concerned? I've read both positive and negative about both. I really do like my original PS and now I'm thinking I should go with him? He has great reviews. How do you find the one? Does anyone else have or has had the same concern?

Hi Lexigirl!
Thanks for your post and positive feedback. My kids are 11,8 and 4.
They have different reactions to me doing it, but all want me to be happy. I went to another PS today, and I believe I found the one:-) He was so compassionate, and did not rush me into scheduling the surgery. He also does not charge a hefty fee for scheduling. He was VERY informative and did not leave nothing out. He explained how he did things a little differently and a lot of what he does made me so less worried, because I read all about those who are not happy, from the lipo and the scar(being too high)to the bulge above the pubic area. He only does it at a hospital and offers overnight stay, which I think will be very helpful. I really do want this and feel I am ready, but I'm still very anxious. Thanks again for responding. By the way, how was your tummy tuck experience?
