WORTH IT$12,140
I'm so ready to be rid of the apron on my lower stomach, I also am excited to see my belly button after years of it being hidden in a fold of fat.

I chose my doctor because he seemed to be the only local PS that still performs an anchor lift which I think will give me the best results. I have my pre op scheduled for June 26th it still seems surreal. I'm not nervous, but I am in disbelief that the day has finally come that I can have these procedures

Good luck on your TT! I can't wait to see what Dr. Cox does for you!! Are you nervous?

I'm not nervous about the surgery, I'm nervous about the end results though. I don't want to be disappointed. I just imagine that I'm one of those few cases where something goes wrong in the results and I look as bad or worse than before surgery.
How has your recovery been?
July 8, 2017
Oh wait, I read incorrectly and thought your surgery date was June 26. My mistake. So we are a few days apart!!!exciting. What are you feeling about your upcoming surgery?
July 9, 2017
Honestly same concerns as you! Just praying my results are as good as others I've seen him do

I'm sorry for such a short response earlier. I'm really hoping recovery ain't too brutal. I remember how painful my C-sections were and that intimidated me a little. I was very blessed to be able to borrow a recliner that will stand you up and lie you completely flat all with a remote control. My friends husband had to have it to recover from a bout with a rare form of MS he is in remission and I was able to borrow that and it fits in my bedroom. So I'm very blessed and thankful for that aspect. I'm scared I won't be flat or that I'll have scar tissue that creates a shelf. I am praying that after all the money I spend that I finally feel how look and that my stomach will no longer be in my lap. Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!

Surgery Nerves....... It's a thing

Finally my best me
So I've been anticipating this day for a while, it's my "Surgeries Eve" as my sweet daughters friend Charlie said. I have not truly slept well in days. I'd lie awake at night contemplating my results. Scouring realself for before and after a and reading everyone else's reviews from beginning to end. I've been most afraid of the pain.

Quite honestly I've been telling myself for months that, I've had a C-Section. I have a good idea of what this pain will be like..... but the truth is I've been scared out of wits thinking of the early days of the pain.

I made my peace with this last night and today I am beyond excited ???? I have never had the confidence of a flat stomach or perky breasts and I can't wait to see what that's like.

Something's I've done to prepare for surgery: I started vitamin C (double dose) 2 weeks prior to surgery along with Vitamin E 400 IU, a daily women's multi (again double dose) a probiotic blend to help combat constipation, and an herbal blend called colon cleanse (again to help flush out toxins and remain regular going into surgery) I use Prairieville Pharmacy (if you're local to the BR area) the Pharmacist here is AH-mazing!!!

I had him order silicone scar treatment sheets for to begin scar therapy once my surgeon clears me for treatment.


I also ordered a Faja with an ab board and foam inserts for compression and to help combat swelling. I'll be attaching the images of the items I purchased. I'm 5'4" wearing a 10-12 depending on size/stretch/cut and I weigh 175. My measurements are 44" 35" 42" I have an hour glass and hope to keep it after the surgery, just smaller ????
