I was so excited about my body, I forgot to let you know a lil about me. Im a 37 yr old mother of two, that live in SC.. I am 5'1 and was 190lbs, because of that reason no other Dr.'s wanted to give me my surgery because of my bmi, well Dr. Holdredge did my surgery with all of his care and experience and I couldnt have visioned a better result. I feel I encountered the best plastic surgeon in SC, at Bearwood Plastic Surgery. I had nine previous surgeries because of medical reason, Robotic surgery was the reason it was hard to save my belly button, but I am just so thank for the beauty Dr. Holdredge gave back to me..

well today was a good day, I rest a lil more. I notice that some of the women here are restricted from showering, my Doctor insist that I shower. I love this because Im clean, skin healing faster with no inflammation.I am just thankful. I weigh myself last night, Im down 12lbs from the first day I came home from surgery. wooohoooo!!

Well Im still swollen, im not sure how much longer I will be this way, but my tummy has to be touched up because of a loose hanging skin between the two incisions, i pray this swelling go away, im still in pain, im starting to wonder if this is fluid on my tummy. I dont think this is normal but i did have a 7hr long surgery, so i will talk with my surgeon more in June.. Im praying for everyone here thats considering tummy tuck.. God Bless u and I will keep u posted on final results
