50 + 5 Kids Later - Bowie, MD

After reviewing many websites, viewing before and after photos aloong with the many realself.com reviews, I chose to go with James R. Benjamin, M.D. I completed my first consult with Dr. Benjamin and very satisfied with how he answered my MANY questions. To seal the deal, I spoke with one of Dr. Benjamin's repeat patient who only raved about Dr. Benjamins honesty and impressive work. Dr. Benjamin will not do anything (even if you ask) that would threaten your health. My Post op/before photos were taken, deposit made and procedure scheduled. I am READY. I considered Dr. Jimerson in Atlanta however, he is in high demand and with the travel costs and accommodations the cost would be more. Also, after speaking with Dr. Jimerson office, Dr. Jimerson was booked through March 2015 and no procedure could be scheduled until 2015. I want my procedure now so, I am going with Dr. Benjamin.

Well everyone my pre op photos have been taken and the Drs Office has emailed me the pre-op and post op instructions. I need to order my garments now. I Recommend you keep your family physician in the loop of communication and send copies of blood test results, recent physicals and EKG results to your surgeon.
What is my expectations? 1. Fill in the cellulite areas with fat transfer, 2. lypo suction and tummy tuck my stomach.
I will be meeting with the surgeon on January 2nd for further insight on the procedure and my expectations.

Dr. B marked the areas on my body tonight to provide me a visual depiction of exactly what he is going to do during the procedure. Dr. Benjamin will insert a pain pump for the 1st 3 days to help with my pain. Thank goodness. He explained that although I am to take it easy the recovery is similar to the c-sections I had..move around so your blood can circulate and you don't become stiff regardless of the pain. Payment is secured and I am READY! 5 children grown and it's time to move on and do mom. I am having a birthday party this summer and I cant wait to be able to wear something cute for once. (LOL) It's natural to be excited prior to the procedure..so don't hold back! Ok, talk to you on 1/16/2013 unless something unexpected comes up like, I forgot to get my EKG.
