WORTH IT$3,871
I elected to use the Emory School of Plastic Surgery at Grady Hospital. because it's a well-established and affordable program. I had a Tummy Tuck w/ lipo on the flanks; total cost for surgery $3,871.00. I just had my surgery, so I'm very swollen and in a lot of pain....I will upload some pictures by tomorrow.

Hi Sarah. I will be adding updates including pictures and videos at least once a week. Today I will discuss the things I needed for post-op recovery.

I believe I have been to hell and back.....I have given birth to 2 children and had a breast reduction, but nothing compared to the pain I felt once I woke up after surgery. I have read the blogs, talked to friends who have had the surgery and watched the videos, and everyone except 1 person said that it was worth it. Now, I don't know how I will feel in 2 weeks, but right now......this was the worst decision I ever made. I'm in pain, my head is constantly spinning, I can't eat because it burns every time I try real food (from the tube down my esophagus), I have vomited, I'm hot, then I'm cold, I'm bruised, I can't walk w/out assistance, I'm just really miserable right now. BUT........I'm praying that this too shall pass. I have to get my before shots from my doctor tomorrow, but here is a shot from this morning, and I will also upload my YouTube video documentary, if allowed.

Your video is not coming through - message is "this video is private".

Why did the drs tube you for a TT? Like a csection you can just have light sedation and an epidural. I had this procedure without being tubed. I had a facelift and my post surgery experience was much like yours--miserably sick from the tube down my throat.

It's like being in a really bad car accident EVERY DAY for a month. But... it was the best decision I ever made and 5 years later I am still happy. Changed my life. Chin up.
