I have been wanting a tummy tuck for soooo long. I had my daughter almost 6 years ago and it changed my body a lot especially my tummy. Pre pregnancy I weighed 115 5'0" tall so of course being this small and petite changed after I had the baby. I am now 160 pounds but the weight is in all the right places except the loose skin around my belly button. I hate it soo much. It is so embarrassing but everyone keeps telling me "girl ain't nothing wrong withyour stomach" I finally decided that I was going to schedule a consultation but did research on three doctors by reading reviews experience and before and after pictures. I ran across Dr Stoeckel from Cary NC and fell in love with his work. I scheduled a consultation on Jan 16 2014 and upon walking in the office everyone was so nice and they already knew who I was before I even told them. My boyfriend went with me and he too was impressed by the office setup and the friendly staff. Dr. Stoeckel was very friendly and explained everything well. He showed pictures of people with similar body shapes and their results. He also to several pictures of me and decided that either a tummy tuck or lipo would work. My mother told me that he was gonna look at my stomach and say "girl u don't need it just go home and do some sit ups" lol . After the consult the patient coordinator Janell met with me in another room and reviewed forms and pricing and told me to send a email or call when I was ready to schedule the surgery along with a $500 deposit. I am so anxious for a better body
