Flat Stomach Here I Come! - Charlotte, NC

I'm 34 years old, mother of a bouncy 2 year old girl and I hate the way my stomach looks. I've decided to get a tummy tuck with liposuction. I've been considering this for a year now and can't wait to get it over with! Praying that I have good results!! My family is not happy about my choice but tummy tucks are all I think about. I am active and I know that no matter how much I workout. My stomach will never be flag. I have a lot of loose skin and stretch marks.

The journey begins...Tummy tuck scheduled for 2 July 2013.

Had my surgery with Dr. Kortesis and must say I'm feeling great..I'm still very swollen but not too much pain. I have a high tolerance for pain and the only pain is the lower back for now. They took very good care of me the first night and would recommend that to anyone who's having a tummy tuck. So far, I can tell I'm going to be happy with my results. Still very swollen but I can see a difference already. I go back in on Thursday for another followup and I'm hoping my drain tubes can be removed. The nurse removed my pain pump today because it wasn't working which I'm happy because it was a pain to carry around my neck. Just happy I'm feeling good and can walk on my own.

Just wanted to share my pics. I feel so good and know that with time and healing I will have great results.
