27 Year Old Plus Size Woman.. Getting a Tummy Tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift - Cincinnati, OH

Thank you!!!!I had seven consults lol.only cause I ran into doctors who wouldn't do both at the same time

Thata girl:)

I was getting frustrated cause I really didn't want to do two separate surgeries but I'm pleased at what he said today. He is a little bit more pricy but he gained my trust when he said he had fun doing these operations and it's one of his favorites

Sounds great to me.

So sorry to read about what you had to go through, but I can see that you are a survivor and a over-comer, just know that God has brought you through that terrible part of your life. I believe also, that finding out about this site is confirmation of it being ok, to have this procedure, how else would you have come across this site?...any how, I applaud you on your determination and drive, and I know that everything is going to be just fine, for you. I will be following your journey, best wishes to you!!!!

Thanks so much for your support and positive thoughts. I can't wait to feel beautiful...my life has been a struggle and I don't want to look like I have been through he'll.

I agree

And this to shall pass Beloved.

Yes I wanted time to work on my arms and thighs with exercse

Thank you o much...in do nervous but excited t the same time

My surgery is on the 9th of this month, and believe me, I know exactly how you feel, I have a great doctor, he is one of the best in the state of Chicago, and he also has worked and trained with the doctor that came up with the drainless TT, which I am having, but anyway I'm also having a fat transfer to my butt, and don't know how the recovery for that is going to be, I have been reading so much on the TT, so I guess I better start reading up, on the BL recovery period and what to expect. Chat with you later!!!!

Thanks for your support are you getting a tt?

I had a TT, flanks and breast reduction done in June 2014 - These are the things you will need from my experience: I purchased a remote recliner from craig list (was the best investment I could have made for my surgery - pd $70. ) Night gowns in twice the size (cause if you have drainage pumps and med pump, you'll need room), if having lipo, get those bed pads and pin them to the back of your night gown - helps keep them in place and keeps your gown from getting soiled. Get one of those travel pillows (fell in love with mine lol). You will pee like crazy - dont wait to the last minute to go cause it will take you awhile to make it to the rest room. For the scaring around the hips, I used Mederma cream that I purchased from Walmart and I used scarguard for scaring around the breast which I purchased from Walgreens. My surgeon told me to use anything that has silicone in it.

Thanks this is helpful

Here is a list of some of the items I have so far....a recliner, that has heat and massage control, chux (keeps sheets or anything you're sitting on from being soiled), body pillow, wedge pillow for under knees, Bromelain, Arnica pellets, and silicone gel, Milk of Mag, gel ice packs, dial antibacterial body wash, sterile abdominal pads, gauze, rubber gloves,womens urinal(p-ez brand),ibuprofen, shea butter, tape for the bandages, sweats, pajama bottoms (x large to accommodate the swelling), and I am sure I left something off, just can't remember everything right off. Hope this helps some.

Yes ma'am.if you think of anything else please list

Please do I hope it's goes great for you...they say no down time but it can take a while to see results

Yeah i have read the mixed reviews. I am open try try it once and wait 3 months to see if there is a tiny difference and or definition in my abs. I just don't want more scars form the incisions etc.

I keep hearing mixed reviews as well....I hope it's leans note towards the good reviews

I would say that 90% are negative reviews with no results. That's what make me more doubtful about cool sculpting. :/ Ugh!

Hmm since I'm already sleep I may just do regular lipo

Yeah,i would if i were you. I may have to 2 months later. lol

I hope you dont

Me too I will stay positive:) thanks for you encouragement.

Thank you I'm trying lol. I think I just want to have it done sooner.

:) I know the feeling. Waiting for your BIG day sux then the waiting for results :/. But all Worth it in the end. Happy Tuesday!

Yes I feel like it's more of a risk if you have to travel and to go out the states...I know it's cheaper but at what cost...they don't have the same stipulations like the US does

Exactly

Also, from what I have been told, their facilities, aren't as clean, I had though about going at first, but my husband has done a lot of travelling and he has a lot of knowledge on their customs, living conditions etc, and he said, no way would he allow me to go out of the states for something I can get done here. I'm not knocking anyone else who wants to go that route, to each its own, and the ones I have seen on here, for the most part they look great, but I rather not take that risk!
