I am a 31 yr old mother of 2 in Illinois. I am 5'5" and 190 lbs. I have fluctuated in weight over the last few years, but one thing remains constant... this gutt! I have had 2 C-sections... so no matter how much weight I loose, my stomach never goes anywhere close to flat. So, after years of consideration. I'm finally doing it. I will have a tummy tuck and lipo of flanks and bra role.... I am very similar in size to Shekahana from the Tiny & TI show. So, I am hoping for a similar result. I have lost 10lbs, and I hope to lose another 20 before the procedure..... Please wish me luck!!

Hi! Congratulations for making such a great decision! I am soooo excited for you. Dr. Jimerson performed my surgery on March 8th. I had the exact same thing you are having- Tummy tuck with lipo of flanks and bra roll and I am sooo happy with my results. I am almost 6 weeks PO but still have a little swelling in the lower abs which is expected. I think Dr. Jimerson did a great job and you too will be pleased. Please keep us posted on your journey.

So, I am extra anxious... I don't really know where to go from here. I want to get some of the medical supplies the MD said I will need and start packing a bag, but I really don't know where to start. Also, the fact that I have to travel to Atlanta for my surgery and I live in Illinois is an added reason to pack early. We have a room booked for the entire stay (10 days) at the Holiday Inn Express; but the distance just means that I need to take all my comforts of home with me. I am not a patient person when it comes to waiting for what I want... somebody pray for me! Also, does anyone know the brand name or website of any good compression garments? Is there anything special that I should buy or have with me for recovery? Your input is greatly appreciated!

So, I'm about 2 1/2 months away from my surgery date, and the suspense is absolutely killing me. I am proud to say, I finally started my post surgery shopping! This past weekend, I picked up about 1/2 of my medical supplies at the store and I found a awesome front closure sports bra. For those of you who are well endowed like myself, this is a big deal! The bra is by ENELL and I found it on www.BareNecessities.com for $48.00. Yes, its a little on the expensive side, but I thought this would be important because I am having lipo of my bra roll and as you all know, compression is very important. So this bra will provide the support and back compression that I think will help to produce a good result. Also, I found great compression garments on www.contourmd.com. The garments are reasonable in price and appear to be very nice quality post surgical shape wear. The one I want to get is $37.95. So, not too bad on price. I haven't brought mine yet, but as soon as I get it, I will definitely let you all know how it turns out.
