Patiently Awaiting TT July 23, 2012 - Shreveport, LA

Perhaps you started moving around too soon.

The other procedures were covered by my insurance.

You're welcome and I want to thank you for the prayers. I didn't tell my husband about the TT until the morning of surgery! He just shook his head and laughed at me! He knew I was having the hysterectomy and hernia repair. I could see the confused look on his face when all the talk was about "three" procedures, instead of two. I felt bad for him, so I went ahead and told him. I knew he'd say that I didn't need it and all I needed to do was workout, do sit ups, etc. He is a fitness freak, by the way! Anyhow, he supports me and smiles when I'm in the mirror, admiring my flat tummy! I'll post new pictures on Monday, after I get this last drained removed! I'm healing just fine. Not a lot of pain, at all. I thank God for my family, especially my oldest daughter. She's 21 and has been taking care of my youngest, who is 13 months.

Total costs were $5800. Surgeon fee - $4500, Anesthesia fee - $650, Operating room fee - $650. I've been to 3 postoperative visits already. He checks my drains, cleans my surgical sites and changes my dressing. I have another follow up on Monday. I love the fact that he does that. I'm local and his office isn't far from where I live, so that makes it easier. I highly recommend Dr. Davis and his nurses are awesome, too.

Hey jazzieb728. My PS is Dr. Paul Michael Davis and he is wonderful! I love my results and he's been with me every step of the way! His consult fee is $60 but if you choose him to do your surgery, the consult fee is deducted from your total. I had 2 other consults before him. He was highy recommended by other physicians and tummer tuckers. I chose Dr. Davis over the others for several reasons. He does his surgeries at a hospital, not a surgery center. He was patient with answering all of my questions and concerns. I had multiple surgeries and he was willing to and had worked with my other two doctors in the past. Lastly, he was more cost efficient. If you have any more questions, just shout at me.
