WORTH IT$13,700

I am a mother of three boys and been chunky my whole life. The last two years, along with my husband, I have really transformed my body from a size 14 to a 6. Its sad because no matter how long I work out or modify my diet I am left with a belly. Well I am finally going to have the tummy tuck done!!! I plan on doing lower eyelid surgery as well.

This is really big for me. This next couple of weeks are going to be interesting and I look forward to what I will be by this summer.

He makes you feel as if you known him for a long time. I visited many different PS and he was the only one that made me feel as if he could do this job with no issues. The staff (especially Josie) are great.

I was the same-overweight and 2 kids did not help. Had extended tt on 11/15 and although I am not at thanksgiving dinner with my family I have never been happier! U deserve it and will love your new body!

Mintlover. I had a choice to get this done right before Christmas but thought it would be unfair to the kids (I want to do it right now - I lack patience).. How are you doing since it been 10 days out?

I had been talking about a tuck for years. Finally found the perfect dr and booked it while I could go under the radar with some friends and such. I only told a few people and my kids stayed at my parents for 1o days while my hubbie took care of me. I am doing great and only wish I had done sooner! Easy day is better but I am realizing it will be mid-jan until I buy clothes since the swelling is def still around and sounds like that is common. Are you getting a pain pump? I would def. recommend? Also, I get very sick and my dr gave me one of those anti-nausea patches prescriptions to put on the night before surgery and I had no issues in recovery. The last thing I wanted to owes throw up-ouch! It still hurts when I cough or laugh!

11/26/11 - I am getting excited. Went shopping on Black Friday and decided that I will not purchase any more clothes until after my 6 week post op.
Last night I went to a high school reunion get together. Everyone remarked on how much weight I lost and how good I looked. All I could think about was "wait until this summer"!

I stay home with my two youngest and attend college classes. My husband will work from home for a couple weeks to help me and I'll try to do most school stuff online. How about you?

Time is approaching and Im not nervous. I have my preop appt on 12/21. I have not told my friends and only one of my five sisters is aware of my upcoming surgery. I did not tell my boss either. This is going to be interesting when I arrive back to work with no more bags under my eyes or belly.
