66 Year "Young" - Never Too Old To Look Fit - Ready for Tummy Tuck! - Albuquerque, NM

I do not feel my age and I find it frustrating to have all these skin bulges hanging down. No amount of exercise and diet improves the tummy area and, while I've always had this problem since having two pregnancies - twins in my second pregnancy - it became more obvious since losing 22 pounds since December 2013. I had thought about tummy tuck before but I always thought it would be too expensive and put the thought aside. But, this year I started thinking about it again and began putting a foundation under something that had only been a dream so far! I am so looking forward to this procedure for ME! I am realistic and I know the healing process will not be instantaneous, but I am ready to do whatever my PS requires and to maintain a positive mental attitude along the way! I don't have pics yet, but I will eventually post some.

I actually had reservations about even starting entries here, but I have found everything I've read to be helpful and useful as I await my tummy tuck, with lipo of the hips and back. Absolutely didn't think I would have the courage to post pictures, much less of how things look right now but, if all of have had the courage, why not a "66 year young" woman - so here they are!

Attended my pre-op appointment. I received instructions for before and after my TT and liposuction procedure. I was measured for my post surgical garment and had before pictures taken. Throughout the appointment, I was reminded of the importance of walking to prevent blood clots. I also learned, in no uncertain terms, that I will probably feel the pain from the back liposuction a whole lot more than the TT incision post operatively. I received assurance that my PS or his nurse would be available 24/7 should I have any concerns or questions once I was home. I left feeling well informed and believing that Dr. Hopkins and his staff are caring people under whose care I will do great!!
