I'm 5'5 and fluctuate between 130-135lbs. I've always had weight issues but in the past four years have maintained a very healthy lifestyle. I have been able to tone every other parts of my body by working out several days a week but my stomach is proving challenging. After weighting my options I've decided to have a full Tummy Tuck. This site has been a Godsend on helping me make my decision. It has also put me in reality mode that this will not be an easy recovery but very gratifying in the long run. I'm scheduled to have my pre-op visit on Friday, Dec 18. So many many emotions but mostly super excited!!

Dr. Sorokin is amazing, I am 6 weeks in and have been so happy with the services and outcome. The road is not easy but worth it! Good Luck to you!

The whole staff has been awesome.. I spent 7 years debating on getting the procedures done and after meeting Dr. S I booked my appointment right away.

How long did you stay out of work? I'm hoping I don't have to take off that long. I guess that's my biggest concern.

I will definitely post, post op pictures. I can't say I'm scared but more nervous about the recovery.
Staying out of the gym for 6 weeks will not be fun at all. Hoping I'll get the OK to at least walk on the treadmill sooner than that. Good luck. Certainly consult with physicians before you make your decision. Best of luck.

Looking forward to your follow up posts. I'm looking for next fall to fix the fallout from an umbilical hernia repair. To have a post pregnancy belly without the benefit of a child is extremely difficult for me. Also in your area, so glad to get an idea of pricing and how extensive your procedure will be for the price. We look very similar and now I'm getting nervous with the ratio of work : cost. :/ good luck!

If you're thinking about the procedure I highly recommend Dr. Sorokin, at least for a consult. I researched a few doctors in the area and he's the only one I have felt comfortable with. I'm having a full tummy tuck with lipo on the sides. Sure the cost was a real concern but after meeting with him and his staff, I feel it's all worth the cost. I've been on this page and seen countless women travel for away, even to different countries to cut cost. That's just insane to me. I feel most comfortable knowing my surgeon is just a short car ride away.. I'm hoping to take pics before they wrap me but I'm assuming I'll be a little out of it.. I will post as soon as I can.. Best of luck in your journey!! Feeling good about yourself is priceless :-)

This sight has helped me also but my husband is not convinced about the mini tummy tuck! I am so ready. Im happy with the rest of my body except for my lower stomach which will never go away even after all the excerciseing I do.

I wish I could've had mini but I had a lot of extra skin. Going full was the only way to fit it. My recovery wasn't bad so I'm happy I did it.

I couldn't be more excited.. I started coming down with a cold so I hope it goes away quickly..I'm hoping drinking lots of tea will flush it out. I was also suppose to get my period the week of surgery but thankfully it came early. That would've been awful. Have you ever second guessed your decision? I had that in my head last week. It took an awful night of NYE dress shopping to snap out of it quickly.. Lol.. Everything looked great on except for that pouch.. I'm so ready to be on the flat side.
