PO day 8-- today I tried on a few bikinis and it...
Physically, feeling awesome-- off all over the counter pain mess and just listening to my body and resting s few times a day when needed. Able to take the kids to school and do very light housework, try on a few bikinis then it's time for a break :). Just feels like my core is week, almost like I've had the stomach flu for a week and am getting back on my feet.. Tummy feels very fragile and I hate the feeling of no binder so I wear it still. I'm in TWO pairs of higher power spanx plus the binder! But I like it. Thrilled with the results and so happy that I had such an honest PS. One thing I struggled with going into this was whether I preferred a very low horizontal scar with a small vertical component or a slightly higher horizontal scar with no vertical... Didn't have enough skin to pull low enough and cover old bb peircing. So glad we chose the vertical... I would be upset with the horizontal any higher and like that I can hide that in bikinis. Maybe I'll get a tiny tattoo for the vertical if it's still visible in a year!
Quick waits to those coming up and happy healing to all, xo
Provider Review
I found Dr. Moelleken via word of mouth-- His reputation for being an excellent surgeon, brilliant doctor, and an all around nice man sold me even before the consultation. Every aspect of this surgery has been wonderful and I can't recommend him highly enough. I had a full tummy tuck with lipo and muscle repair as well as a breast aug. To keep this short, some of the things that really stand out about Dr. M: He is incredibly safety oriented and takes every precaution possible to ensure that this is an uneventful process. He requires several important blood tests (clotting time, etc. in addition to CBC) that very few doctors require for people in my age group (29 and healthy) which was a huge comfort to me. I had a minor heart procedure done 10 years ago and he wanted cardiac clearance with an EKG... again, made me feel very safe that these precautions were in place since many, many doctors let them slide. Next, his degrees and achievements speak for themselves... training at the best of the best universities (Harvard, Yale, UCLA, etc.) and a little research quickly reveals that in many of his graduating classes he was actually #1... voted in "Top PS" editions and "Super Doctors" all the time and clearly an accomplished doctor. Actually, during my surgery, he discovered several hernias that I was unaware of and fixed them quite easily, whereas many PS use general surgeons if they anticipate the need for a complex hernia repair... to Dr. M, it was no big deal. Finally, he has a fabulous artistic eye and his results (esp. his scars) are insane.. flawless. You would think someone with all of these assets would be arrogant, but he's the opposite... just a really nice, compassionate guy who genuinely cares about his patients. Post surgery, I emailed him a few times with questions and he would typically respond within about 5 minutes! That's right.. his personal email address! Best of all, I feel fabulous, the recovery has been a walk in the park, and I look like I did in college...actually, better. Thank you Dr. Moelleken for making this, hands down, the best thing I've ever done for myself.
