After 2 2 C-sections and 4 Stone weight loss I was...

After 2 2 C-sections and 4 Stone weight loss I was left with an ugly lump of hanging skin that formed an 'apron' I spent years hiding it under baggy clothes. No-one had ever seen it other than me. I hated going swimming or wearing anything that made it obvious. I dreamed and longed to have this procedure done. I did some research and came across Dr Karoo. I made an appointment to see him in Cardiff. I was very nervous. However, Richard Karoo immediately made me feel at ease. We had a discussion and I showed him the apron for the very first time. He said he could help me. I saw him once again before I booked the surgery just to make sure I had not changed my mind and that I was completely certain that I wanted it done. I booked the surgery date and was so excited. I had my surgery and all went well. I was well looked after and was made comfortable. I stayed 1 night. I was asked if I wanted to stay another night but I wanted to go home. I was given sufficient pain control and at no point was it too much to bear. The hardest part was getting out of bed to go to the toilet. After the first 3 days I felt much better. After 1 week I felt good. After 2 weeks I was able to drive and go about my day to day business. I visited Dr Karoo several times after my surgery and I was very well taken care of. I had absolutely no issues or problems. I followed all instructions and my recovery was amazing. If you've had a c-section recovery is very similar to that. Now it 9 months after surgery and I can honestly say that its the best money I have ever spent. Its made such a difference to my life. I am happier and much more confident. I will happily show off my new tummy to anyone. I even love my new belly button. Dr Karoo is a genius. What he has achieved for me is beyond my expectations and a simple thank you just does not seem enough. If you really want this surgery then I have absolutely no problem recommending Richard Karoo and his team.
