I have a mommy makeover with Dr.galloway 12/12/13. He gave me his cell phone number. He believes that if his patients have any issues they should talk with him direct. It was very comforting! I had all my abdominal muscles repaired with my TT and a BL with implants. He used internal sutures instead of drains. I'm 2 wks out now and feel and look fabulous. The first week was painful, but now I'm able to do everything in moderation. I chose Dr.galloway after seeing 5 other PS. I chose him because of his experience/background. I have no regrets. He truly did an amazing job and my fast recovery proves it! He charged me $8000 which included everything. I was quoted 3 times that amount at other places and those didn't include the hospital stay. If your looking for great results with a doctor that doesn't refer you as a #, call Dr. Dwight Galloway. I can not say enough good things about this man! Wonderful!
I initially went to Dr. Galloway, fact-finding for a breast lift. After a good discussion, I decided that the best way to get the results I wanted without excess scarring was a breast augmentation. I understood the drawbacks and issues related to both procedures. Ultimately, I had 360cc's added to each breast in the form of silicone implants under the muscle. I am currently healing on schedule. Updated on 17 Nov 2013: It has now been almost two weeks and everything is going well. The swelling has reduced although the itchiness of the incision is driving me crazy. I'm using Benedryl cream and Vitamin E to manage the incision site. I'm sure if I called the doctor, he would give me something to tackle the itch as well. I'm doing well with my OTC remedy however. The site is certainly tender as can be expected, but the overall look is still the perfect size and is healing just fine.
I have been wanting this procedure for so long now. Finally saved enough money to splurge on myself for once. I am 38 a mom of 3, 2 boys 17 and 14 and my baby girl 11. I have had a rough time with pregnancy. I end up having gestational diabetes and gain anywhere from 50 to 70 pounds with each child. At my heaviest I was 257! I am now 201 and I am ok with my weight. I am not however with the belly that is left. I look like I am still 7 months preg. without the roundness just flab. I am nervous about the cutting and going under but reading posts here and looking at pictures I am doing a lot better with my reservations. I will post pics like everyone else did, because that gives me motivation and I hope to give another one the same. I have done HARD CORE exercising to get this belly down and it just will not budge. The rest of my body is normal. I have been very self conscious about my stomach. I have to buy size 16 jeans because my belly wont fit the size the rest of my lower body could fit. I am counting down the days. I am getting a full tt, mr, and lipo of the flanks, which my ps said doesn't need much. I bet they get a good 8 lbs from my belly alone! Updated on 15 Oct 2013: Updated on 15 Oct 2013: Updated on 22 Oct 2013: new date: October 31... Get it over 1 day early... I am so excited! Updated on 29 Oct 2013: I have 1 more day to get ready. I am scheduled for the 31st and I am too excited. I am making my bag tomorrow as I will spending the night in the hospital. I feel better with that just in case anything happens. I have my pillows and extra vitamins/herbs for healing and #2 happiness. I am thinking about getting some jello and things for easy access tomorrow. What is good to eat, if you can eat, after surgery? I want to do easy non processed everything with low salt. Any ideas? I haven't shaved my legs thinking I don't need any open wounds LOL.. My eyebrows look like a massive hairball. I plan on only bringing my ID, insurance card, and ? debit ? card.. No purse.. The nurse said don't bring anything of value and my hubs is starting his new job so he won't be there until later... My sister will be there but she has to go to work when my surgery is scheduled. Any last minute things I need? I am not getting a recliner but will get body pillows and a bed cover. I am not going to have any drains but don't know if that is better or worse. Do I take arnica before or wait until after surgery? Updated on 29 Oct 2013: I am excited and trying to fill my head with things to do and things to clean but it's not really real yet. I am scared but I can defeat that fear with the expectations that I have. The expectations that I have tried to work out to get and never gotten. The feelings I have right now is not really excited but what will I feel like after.. My husband wants me to relax and I am trying to but I still wonder.. I know I will love my new belly because it can't be worse but I don't know... Updated on 30 Oct 2013: I am scheduled for tomorrow at 1:30!! I have to be there for blood work and everything at 12!! I am so excited! I am so glad I am tired because if I wasn't I don't think I could sleep! Updated on 31 Oct 2013: Up early trying to clean a bit, so I wont come back to a hurricane house.. Trying to keep my mind off the time.. My next post will be on the flat side! Updated on 1 Nov 2013: Just stood up for the first time Updated on 1 Nov 2013: I cried the first time I stood up! Wondered why did I do this to myself... Second time wasn't as bad, I didn't cry. Third time felt like I was falling apart. Going home from the hospital today... I hurt but I can take it.. I have my heating pad on my belly and I swear it is a god sent! I didn't have a recliner, but my wonderful sister let me use hers and I owe her big time. I can't see me trying to get in and out of my bed! It is so far from the ground and OMG what was I thinking? I had to have pain meds almost every 2 hours last night.. I don't think I could have made it at home.. I love my ps! Updated on 15 Nov 2013: These are progression pics, will write what day it is later today Updated on 15 Nov 2013: My pics today make me still look really big but it's not as big as it looks.. I am horrible at taking self body shots Updated on 22 Nov 2013: My belly is swollen, my vajayjay hurts really bad and I have an opening at my mons area. I can fit my tightest pants with room to spare, I can fit 2 size smaller pants even with the swelling.. But I am so tired of hurting. I feel like I am cut in half at times. I do enjoy the look when I am not too swollen yet I think I am a bit depressed now. I can do alot now, but I pay for it later. I just want to be normal again... I know it will pass but not really sociable right now.. Updated on 9 Dec 2013: Updated on 9 Dec 2013: It's hard to take a selfie!! I can't click the phone right... LOL Updated on 23 Dec 2013: I found a new thing to aid in lymphatic drainage repair.. Please ask you ps or at least make sure you are not allergic to castor oil.. One of the more compelling health benefits, if true, is castor oil's support of your immune system. And this healing property does not require you ingest the oil, but only apply it externally. The benefits of castor oil packs were popularized by the late psychic healer Edgar Cayce, and then later researched by primary care physician William McGarey of Phoenix,Arizona, a follower of Cayce's work and the author of The Oil That Heals. McGarey reported that, when used properly, castor oil packs improve the function of your thymus gland and other components of your immune system. More specifically, he found in two separate studies that patients using abdominal castor oil packs had significant increases in lymphocyte production compared to placebo packs. Lymphocytes are your immune system's disease-fighting cells and are produced and stored mainly in your lymphatic tissue (thymus gland, spleen, and lymph nodes). Hundreds of miles of lymphatic tubules allow waste to be collected from your tissues and transported to your blood for elimination, a process referred to as lymphatic drainage. When your lymphatic system is not working properly, waste and toxins can build up and make you sick. Lymphatic congestion is a major factor leading to inflammation and disease. This is where castor oil comes in. When castor oil is absorbed through your skin (according to Cayce and McGarey), your lymphocyte count increases. Increased lymphocytes speed up the removal of toxins from your tissues, which promotes healing. Updated on 23 Dec 2013: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/28/castor-oil-to-treat-health-conditions.aspx I am one that love natural herbs and treatments but not against modern medicine. Updated on 23 Dec 2013: our lymphatic drainage is reattaching itself and it takes a long time to heal, but this may aid in your healing.. I am trying it and I will update. I have done my first treatment prior to posting this and my swelling went down a great deal, and no pins and needle feeling with my heating pad.. I will update again, MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT ALLERGIC.. I know I am not I was forced to use this as a child, internal.. Do not drink it.. It is like what you would think drinking motor oil would be like... Updated on 23 Dec 2013: did a home made compress of castor oil, plastic wrap (loose), n heating pad and my swelling is really low today.. almost amazing.. will update on tomorrow... (I did do way over the recommended time of 60 min... I absolutely love my heating pad even tho it burnt my stitches).. I think it is the reason I could stand up straight in my 2 week po. I had like electricity shocks in my first week but I got up and was on and running. Maybe it has to do with mental stability.. I won't let anything stop me, but this swelling is horrendous. I know it is something natural that I can do.. and it is working "I think"... LOL I will let you guys know.. If so it is a miracle.... Updated on 23 Dec 2013: I wish I took a pic of my preggy belly and I feel empty.. ?? I take a million pills, vit e, d, c, bromelian, potassium, some I don't know the names right off hand but are in my 7 day pill box.. Coq10..... Super vitamin crazy, can't hurt, but don't help the swelling.. stopped my arnica but have it.. I think that's why I didn't have ANY bruising.. Not a single purple or blue part.. so small after surgery.. got bigger and bigger, but not as big as I was.. did you see my picture? I am still hard and swollen as when I was pregnant... Hard as a rock.. no give.. I rub in a circular motion like I did when I was preggy
Well, like most of you that have gone or are already going through this I am feeling a little nervous about picking out the size of implants. I am 5'5" and about 145.. average built. I already have 34 DDD breast and am going in for the lift, however I know I will not be happy in the long run because with weighted breasts I know that they will eventually fall and be saggy mammy jammies again! lol I tried on some sizers at my consult and think that 200 was nice however talking with his assistant she recommended 250. Because he goes behind the muscle she thinks I would be happier with the 250. I am afraid that this will be too big like Really Big!! I'm aiming to keep the size but really want the upper pole fullness. But then will the 200 not give me the fullness?? AAHHHH! I have yet to pick a date out yet although I know it will be in the next few weeks. Then the next dilemma is silicone or saline. I have a few friends with both and they are all happy with what they chose, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! Would really love a tummy tuck too but being a single mother I guess one thing at a time.. Thank You all!! Updated on 15 Jul 2013: So I set the date!! July 31... I am experiencing the nervousness and anxiety that I'm sure most of you have too. I think my biggest fear is that my nipples will be lop sided lol. or one will end up being bigger to the point you can tell.. I plan on posting some more before pics in some of the clothes I have that I have not been able to wear because my boobs will not let me. lol I am hoping that my pics will help those of you who are larger breasted and would like to keep your size but get a lift and or lift with implants. I have had such a hard time finding pics of women with larger breasts that are getting this procedure. Anyway, the countdown has begun, and if any of you who have already been through this has any advice on things I may need beforehand I would greatly appreciate any advice... Thanks!! Updated on 22 Jul 2013: Getting the weekly jitters! So my PS and I talked about 250cc.. looking at some pics of others and I'm wondering if it's not going to give me enough upper pole! AAAAAhhhhhh! I hate second guessing myself. However he thinks 200 will do the job. I have faith in him but I think he, as weird as this may sound because I want semi-natural looking boobs lol, he wasn't too make me more natural than what I want. I gave him pictures of what I want to look like, I guess because I can't find pics of women with as big breast as mine it's hard to determine what I feel I'll need. But... I guess I'll pray that this will be enough. And like all of you, be happy that they are up there instead of resting on by stomach! lol Updated on 22 Jul 2013: Updated on 25 Jul 2013: Updated on 27 Jul 2013: Ok so I'm less than a week away and still unsure of cc's... I know what I want to look like, I also know that everyone is unique and what looks like one thing on one person can look totally different on another. Sometimes I feel 250 will be great and I shouldn't be greedy lol than I feel like eh Just do 300 better bigger than smaller. .. I'm so unsure and hope that I make the right decision. It's not really that much of a difference lol 50cc's. Lol. Hmmmm Updated on 30 Jul 2013: Super nervous. .. anxious. .. trying to get and keep everything in order. I've cleaned and cleaned lol. .. In class today having some tests so I'll keep busy till I get home. .then I'm sure I'll find something else to clean lol Updated on 31 Jul 2013: On way to the hospital... Not sure how I feel. Kind of like a dream.. Updated on 31 Jul 2013: As some of you know. .. OUCH! Surgery went well. I went with the 300 and even though I can't see them... they look amazing. I can tell the right is more swollen looks a little bigger than the left and hurts more. Haven't been able to keep anything down but the Dr told my daughter not to worry because I had about of iv fluid so I'm good lol. I'll post pics soon! Thank you all for Your support and suggestions. You made it easier to get through this.!!! Updated on 1 Aug 2013: So here is the first pic. .. I'm so happy I went with the 300! Thank you henny & juju! You helped me pick my cc's with confidence. I love them already. . I never thought I would be able to do this. Afford it that is. And to have this site and all you wonnderful woman to talk to. Thank you so much! Updated on 1 Aug 2013: Updated on 2 Aug 2013: Very pleased with my results. My right side is more swollen and more sore. But here's some more photos. .. Updated on 4 Aug 2013: Minus my sleep shorts lol. I'm so happy! I can feel my nerve ending coming alive! Lol I'm starting to feel everything, Not bad, but I only took half a pain pill this morning and nothing since. Think I'll take another half. Feeling some pain but not bad. I so wish I would have been able to afford this sooner! I love my boobs! I never thought I would be able to say that. I'm so happy! Updated on 11 Aug 2013: Just wanted to update. Its almost 2 weeks post and I have to say I miss sleeping on my side lol. My back is killing me more than my boobs.. I am concerned about the left one. It seems there is a part on the bottom where I feel more skin should have been taken off. Just concerned that once they settle that it will sag more, thinking he may have to fix it and I dread that. Then I'm having some swelling on the sides where the side boob is lol not sure how to explain it other than that. It's hard where the incision is. Worried that it is scar tissue forming already and I haven't gotten the ok to massage them yet! Guess I'll have to call him tomorrow and see what he says. Here's an updated pic though. Updated on 12 Aug 2013: So excited to try on some old new clothes lol Updated on 17 Aug 2013: So I just wanted to update.. had to go to Dr because of some scar tissue already forming on my left side. It's not bad just annoying. Dr said it should soften some. Also found out he used high profile not moderate. So I thought I would post a side view of both now. Just so everyone can see the difference. Still Very pleased. Oh one more thing, i am numb under my left breast. I asked him and he said he sees it like one every six months. Something to do with a vein he said it would heal itself. It feels like pulling when I raise my arm up. But yet when I touch the spot it's numb lol.. aggravating lol Updated on 20 Aug 2013: I never though in a million years I would be able to go braless.. I couldn't be happier Updated on 26 Aug 2013: Three weeks post and today was my first day back to school. Meeting in cosmetology and using my arms about. .. It actually wasnt too bad. My left boob still looks a little boxy compared to what I like to call my "perfect" boob lol. But they still look better than what they did. I have a small open sore under my right boob that I'm keeping my eye on. Other than that, feeling pretty good! Updated on 31 Aug 2013: So, as I was pondering some thoughts last night while talking with a friend, I started thinking.... Maybe I should have thought a little more and did a little more research even though my PS said I was the most informed and researched patient he has ever had.. this is why... and oh, I don't regret my decision just thinking maybe I could have made a few changes... Would it have been benificial for me to have half my tissue removed and had maybe and exra 50cc implant put in.. I am now afraid that my big breast may eventually sag and i will have to get a lift to correct it again.. would I have been better getting some of the tissue removed to where I would not have to worry about dense heavy tissue?? HMMMMMM and the thoughts go on... As I said I LOVE my results now, but I am predicting the future LOL... I will be one to keep you all updated. Updated on 24 Sep 2013: Well I'm at the 8 week mark. I'm still very optimistic but there is things of course that I would like to change. I will post more pics. I know that the "real" results will not be until at least 6 months. Then I guess I can fine tune what I feel the need to or decide what I want to do. I think that we see things and want the exact same outcome but that is nearly impossible. I am still pleased but of course there are concerns I have. As we all do lol Updated on 16 Feb 2014: So I'm almost at my six month Mark and I'm feeling a revision is necessary. More skin needs be taken from the bottom so they will be more lifted. I'm still pleased but they are just not as perfect as i pictured. I will try n post some new pics soon.. Updated on 16 Feb 2014: Here's a few new pics, you can see how they need to be lifted more. Still better than they were but not perfect. Updated on 2 Oct 2015: Hey everyone. Sorry I havent been on to update or reply. I went through a big move but all is well. I will post some updated pics soon.. I still feel I need another lift but I am still happy with going through the procedure and would do it again anyday. Of course with the hands on knowledge I probably would have gotten a reduction and kept the 300cc I went with. Only because they dropped due to me being heavy breasted. Again, not sorry i did it just wish I would have known.
I decided in my teens that I would have a flat tummy. I hated blousing my shirts in order to cover the bulge. I was embarrassed in a bathing suit because of the excess fat on my hips. Genetics were not on my side. I have 3 kids, a husband, and an ex husband. After the birth of my third child, I felt huge. My belly looked like a road map of stretch marks. I felt gross. I worked out daily, strengthened muscles, lost pounds and inches, but there is some fat you cannot lose without intervention. My husband and I discussed a TT/BL/and Lipo, and he was supportive and encouraging. About 2 months ago, I took him up on his offer, researched about 30 doctors/clinics, visited 3, and chose 1. I am now 1 week to the day post-op. I had a full tummy tuck, my ab muscles were sewn together, removed about 825 cc's of fat from my hips, and a breast lift. (No implants.) I am more and more pleased with the results each day. The pro's of the surgery: -Learning about myself is the biggest pro. I learned my limits as far as pain. I learned to appreciate feeling better. I am also learning the importance of sitting still and letting the recover process happen. -I no longer look 9 months pregnant. I can wear a dress and not feel as if I need to lean back and waddle, making an excuse for the big old belly. - I don't need to lift my belly to shave my pubic area. It is now all one smooth surface. - I learned just how fat I really was. - I am happier. The con's of the surgery: - It hurts. No one can tell you how much it hurts. I have a very high pain tolerance. The pain I felt was beyond normal pain. But it does go away, slowly. - You must sit and rest in order to heal. Walk as much as you can, to the bathroom and back, but you will need to and want to rest. - I have a warped nipple. The surgeons and I both feel that this will change as the swelling goes down, and my skin and body adjust. What I wish I knew beforehand: 1. It hurts. Very much. It is similar to being in a major car crash. 2. Recovery is slow and patience is critical. Don't rush. 3. Take stool softeners before and after. They help. 4. Drink your water! 5. Stock up on popsicles, soup, jello, crackers, non-stick gauze bandages, and lemon for your water before the surgery. 6. Make sure you have help getting on and off of the toilet, and when showering. 7. Recovery can be ugly. You start off with purple bruises that turn green when healing. You have incisions that remind you just how wide open you were. And you have a new belly button. 8. Find someone who is willing, able, and comfortable with helping you with personal hygiene. Bending or lifting your legs to shave may not be a possibility. Cleaning after toileting can be challenging, even reaching the toilet paper. 9. Ask for, demand, and take your pain meds. If they are not working, let your doctor know. 10. Have a recliner ready, and be prepared to become best friends with it. You will sit in it, sleep in it, eat in it, etc. I hated recliners before, but am in love with my recliner now. I think that may change as soon as I can sleep in my own bed. 11. You will swell. You will find swelling in places that the doctor did not touch. There was a lot of moving, pulling, tugging, and rearranging to make this new bod. 12. The swelling is hard. Rock hard. Imagine your belly late in pregnancy kind of hard. This really is a life changing procedure. For years I looked down and saw a belly. Eventually I had to lift the belly to see my pubic area. I lost my belly button after having kids. It became a cavern. Having a TT/Lipo/Lift is major surgery, and a major life changing event. You will need to relearn how you see yourself, how your clothes fit, and that you don't have to suck it in to fit into a booth at a restaurant.Updated on 9 Jul 2012:I am now 2 weeks and 4 days post op. I made it out of the recliner and to the couch! Yay! I am starting to feel like my old self again, a little bit. What I have learned: 1. Don't bend over at the waist. Even if you feel as if you can, don't try it. Squat or find someone else to bend over for you. 2. Cheap cotton underwear are not attractive, but they are comfortable. 3. Drink your water. Eight glasses of at least 8 ounces of water every day helps the swelling. 4. Even at 2 weeks, you need your rest. Even though you feel good, don't over do it. You will pay for it. 5. Time changes everything. Each day I have a bit of, "Oh, dear Lord. What have I done?" Then I look at the before pictures, and I know I did the right thing. 6. Find someone who has gone through this and talk with them. With this discussion forum, and the other patients that I have run into in the dr's office, just hearing others' stories helps to get you through the week, the day, and sometimes just that moment. It is good to see and hear that others have gone through this and survived. 7. Don't be disappointed if the jeans or shorts you bought before the surgery and are 2 sizes smaller don't fit. There is a LOT of swelling going on. Stick with the dresses, stretch pants, and non-buttoning or zipping pants. Celebrate the smaller sized t-shirts that you can now wear because you don't have to hide your belly. 8. Stretchy pants, shorts, and dresses will definitely be in fashion. I am still too swollen in the middle to even think about a pair of zippered jeans. I am happy to say that my JMS cotton/spandex shorts are baggy, though! 9. Be patient. I am horrible at waiting. I feel good, so I think I should look good, too. I do look good. I look a whole blubbery belly better than I did 2 weeks ago. But I am not done yet. I still have swelling, and my body is slowly taking shape. I am noticing curves now that were hidden under fat rolls before. My breasts are starting to look like the perky girls I had when I was a teenager. Healing is a process. Embrace the new you, as you will see a difference every day. 10. Love the new you. Even when you are not perfect at 2 weeks post-op, you are still better than you were before the surgery. Look at the pre pictures in comparison with where you are now. The change is amazing. Even with all of the swelling, bruising, seeping, and pain that accompanies a TT, it is still better than an overhanging belly and hips the size of Montana. I hope this message helps! I know I have scoured the internet, looking for something that would let me know I am on the right track, both before the TT and after. I look at 6 month post op pictures and cannot imagine looking that good. Every body heals differently, but knowing that there are success stories helps to keep me going. Amanda
My nipples are now twice the size they were with thick keloid scarring around them and I am self conscious to take my top off in front of my significant other. My rhinoplasty looks great, on one side. It's like he got tired or bored and decided not to remove the cartilage on the other side which now makes my nose look like it hooks to the right. I will have to spend thousands to fix what he has done. What do you know he has left the state and I can not reach him to fix. What a disappointment.
It's important for people out there doing research on rhino surg to know that dr Galloway isn't a rhino expert yet did do rhino surg., his methods are old and he overresected my bridge., people need to know; the practice he was at in Novi was all about sales and used disgusting tactics. I at the time was younger and didn't thoroughly research and that's on me but this was scary & has impacted me so much that I don't go a day w/o thinking of the mess I'm left with.
I had a full tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and liposuction of the hips and outer thighs 4 weeks ago. I immediatley noticed the results of the outer thigh liposuction and of my left hip, however, my right hip is way bigger and it does not seem to be swelling.How long do I need to wait in your opinion to have the lipo corrected? I am a nurse so I know it is fat and not swelling. I am very pleased with my other procedures.I am 29 y/o and have had 4 children, two of which were 10 lbs at birth. I weighed 129 before surgery and still am consistent with my 129 after surgery. I had extensive Distsis Rectis that was interfering with my breathing and an umbilical hernia. I had a moderate amount of loose skin on my abdomen and a large tattoo surrounding my belly button that I wished to be removed.The pros are that I went from a sagging barely B cup breast to a full C that is beautiful, my tummy tuck incision is pretty high but that is what it took the rid me of the awful tattoo on my abd., all of my stretch marks on my belly are gone except for 3 very tiny faint ones that you cannot even see. My lipo will be great once it heals and I have him fix my hip. I just bought a belly chain to cover the incision, it works great. The only con is the uneven lipo.Updated on 28 Mar 2013:This dr did awful. the incision kept getting higher as i stood up. NEVER GO TO THIS DOCTOR. Ended up costing me 21,000$
I'am having my surgery on August 14 and I'am very nervous. I'am really worried about the pain I'am going to have after the surgery. Is there anyone that can give me an idea of what the pain is going to be like. I'm so nervous and scared that I'm about to talk myself out of going through with it. I have wanting to do this for awhile and I finally got my husband to agree to let me do it. I guess I want to know is it worth just going through with the surgery. Updated on 16 Aug 2013: 2 days post op and everything went well. I haven't seen my stomach yet but i can tell it is flat. My breast lift is awesome Updated on 17 Aug 2013: I'am 3 days post op and today was a good day for me. I'am able to go to the bathroom by myself, I'am able to walk up and down the stairs by myself. Today I went for a drive with the hubby to visit my sister and kids and I even noticed I was standing up straight a little more than I was yesterday.
I am 3 weeks post surgery for my extended tummy tuck with liposuction of the flanks today and so far I must say that I am completely pleased with my results. Was very glad that Dr. Galloway has his patients stay at the hospital post surgery for one day. I don't know how I would have done it without it. By day two I was able to move around on my own and by day five I was completely off of narcotics and off of even otc meds by day 7. I still have swelling but it subsides more and more each day. I can see that flat stomach coming in every day. I have lost about 15 lbs since the day I went in for my surgery. My back is grateful and so am I! Updated on 10 Dec 2013: It has been 6 months and I'm still quite satisfied with the results. I look natural. Not, like I actually went in for surgery (other than the low scar) which I really like. Tummy is flat which is what I ultimately desired. Best I've looked since my 20's (40 something now). I will try to post before and after pics some time soon.
