48 Year Old Wants to Fix Her Tummy :)

Yesterday I met with Dr. Kurtis Martin. While I was waiting in the lobby I spoke with one of his patients. She was 2.5 weeks in recovery from a tummy tuck and thigh lift. She said that the tummy tuck recovery was easy and that she'd do that again. She said that the leg part was a slower recovery. She also said that years ago Dr. Martin performed lipo on her. I felt reassured that she was a returning patient and that her tummy tuck went well!He told me that he could give me an estimate for the procedure but that if the procedure took longer than estimated that I would have to pay for the additional operating room time. I would also be reimbursed if the operations look less than the time estimated. I've had 3 consultations and he is the only one who made the price conditional. Since it’s such a large investment, I want to know what I am in for before I am unconscious.After meeting with 3 doctors I like Dr. Peter McKenna the best. He and his staff took plenty of time with me and were very concerned that all of my questions were answered. They explained that if I decided to go forward that they would need me to have a physical 2 weeks prior to the surgery and that I would meet with Dr. Peter McKenna one more time before the surgery to make sure that I was comfortable with the surgery plan. They also encouraged me to call if I had any additional questions.

In just a couple of days I'm finally going to get my TT! I'm not scared yet. I met with Dr Peter Mckenna in December and January and was very reassured by that I'm in good hands!

They do the procedure on site and provided me with a tour of the facility. I like that its not a big overwhelming facility.  They were patient and answered all of my questions. They also encouraged me to call with any questions that may pop u later. See u all on the flat side!

So far so good! My recovery has gone pretty smoothly. I am down to 1 drain and the only pain I have is in my back from being hunched over. I can't wait to get the 2nd drain out! I am working on slowly standing up straight. I think once I can do that life will be much better. I am still sleeping in my recliner since lying flat is still impossible. I'm getting there! I'll post new pictures after the drain is out....Hopefully Monday!
