Tummy tuck w/lipo to the flanks

A few years back I met with Dr. William Bruno in...
WORTH IT$8,800
A few years back I met with Dr. William Bruno in BH I was thinking a bout a tummy tuck. After speaking to him about the procedure I realized I was not ready to go through with it (he was not pushy, he made me very aware that this might be something I'd want to wait for).
I was in a new relationship and thought that I would maybe want another child besides my one boy...3 years later I came back to Dr. Bruno with my mind made up. I love my son and we are a complete family along with my partner.
My son was a big boy weighing in at 8 lbs. 12oz, He did a number to my body. I was over the 200 lbs when I was pregnant, and after a few years of yoyo dieting going from 130-170
I am now a steady 150-160lbs. I feel good when I am fully clothed. I love my body. When I work out I love it even more, but there is always that extra belly fat & stretch marks that no matter where I was at with my weight I was never truly happy with my body.
so here I am getting ready to fix my belly. We will find out if it's worth it I guess??

a few more days...
Getting ready for this, somehow I am expecting it to be life changing. Reading so many reviews make it seem that it will be. Tuesday is the day and though I thought I had planned this perfectly, I feel my period will beat me to the surgery :(,
The concerns I have right now is that my dog will jump on me. I have bought a baby gate to keep him away hopefully it works. Does any one have any advice on how to make things easier when left alone without help during the day? My sister will be with me on day one after that I will be alone during the day.

So depressed. Tummy tuck cancelled due to PVC complications
I woke up in the operating room thinking wow it's done! I was transferred to the recovery room. I realized that Something was wrong . I was informed by my sister that the surgery didn't happen. The surgery was cancelled due to abnormal heart beat. I am so depressed that I went trough all this and still have this tummy. I now have to get EKG. I am so confused. Has this happened to anyone else??

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this. Better safe than sorry. I hope you get checked out and get clearance for surgery soon. I would be so bummed. Keep us posted on that EKG.

Oh no! I am so sorry. I wonder why they didn't do one before. Hope you get a clean bill of health so you can go forward.

I'm so sorry that happened to you!! I am surprised though that you weren't required to have the EKG preop. Hopefully, you'll get cleared quickly and can reschedule your surgery.

After what happened, I am also wondering why I wasn't asked for EKG. It only makes sense to get one done.

That really sucks! Some people go through these big physicals and have EKGs before the surgery. Mine just wanted blood work. Nobody listened to my heart or really seemed interested in how my body is doing, except for labs. I had to get a CBC and CMP. My ALT came back very high. Normal range is 5-41 and mine was 155. He is still doing my surgery but I need to follow up with the GP. It seems like they should watch our hearts for a bit before sedating us doesn't it? This is a big expensive surgery. Did they think the anesthesia had anything to do with the heart beat? I sure hope nothing like this happens to me. My blood pressure and pulse have been all over the place lately, on the high side. Will they let you reschedule?

Thanks. I wished they would of asked me for EKG it would of saved me a lot of heartache. This is just making me think twice. I suggest you get an EKG for good measure. Other that this,I am a healthy 31 year old, my bloodwork was normal. My only vice is 1 coffee cup a day my ps knew I was a coffee drinker and from my reading caffeine can cause pvc's. I'm seeing a dr ASAP I still want to through with it, but now I'm more concerned than before.

Can you just get the EKG at a GP? I have concerns about my heart but I do medical transcription for several specialties so I always go to my doc appointments with my own differential. My doc knows what I do for work and she treats me like a paranoid hypochondriac. Now that I think of it, I have had a high pulse and bp the last few times I saw her and not once did she listen to my heart. I really need a new doc but I'm in a small town. Anyway, not about me... definitely see a doc. I sure hope you are okay and can get your surgery. It would break my heart to get all wound up and excited and face a let down like what you are experiencing.
