Can I ask who's the doctor you are going to and is he or she located in Columbia? I myself would like to have this done but finding a doctor you can trust is what I'm afraid of.

Dr. Seaberg. I went to a couple for consultations and at one felt like I was at a car dealership. There was a lot of telling me all the other procedures they thought I could use and I was told the Doc would do a full tummy tuck by his nurse, he hadn't even met me yet. Felt really discouraged and almost just shucked the whole idea. With Seaberg it was a completely different experience! His first words to me were, "why does someone so young(which I'm not) want plastic surgery?" I instantly felt comfortable. When I left his office I was full on excitement! He also did my eye surgery and every time I have called with a question when you would normally get a nurse, he himself has gotten on the phone and talked to me. Sorry to ramble. I think when you meet with the right doctor and the feeling you have when you leave will tell you who you should go with.

Even though I have had a couple revisions trying to get the ends of the scar lowered I still love my new tummy. I will put some recent pictures up soon to show the difference in the scar. Make sure you wear underwear or a bikini bottom to show how low you would like the scar to be.

I was a week out yesterday and had a lot of pain and did a lot of ice packs which helped. Today I feel almost great so I guess you just have good days and bad. One thing I tried to remind myself is that this is the time to be doing all the lazy, lay around kind of things you always wish you had time to do. For example before my TT I would have killed to be able to take a nap whenever I wanted, now I can! Or read a book, with four boys there is never time for that and when I do have time it seems I'm always reading parenting books. So I guess I'm saying appreciate the down time. "Fill" the boredom instead of "feel" the boredom. Oh God, cheesy.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

One week out and doing okay. Wanted to give an honest review so I made sure I did it now and not two months out when I'm just loving my new tummy. Tummy looks really great but swollen and I still have 3 drains which are aggervating. I was expecting to wake up with one since I didn't have any lipo done so 3 was quite the surprise. It seems the only pain I have is from the drain incisions and where they poke me on the inside. Back hurts too but getting better now that I have been given the ok to try to straighten up as much as comfortable.
Recovery has been hard for me emotionally. I usually exercise daily and play with my kids, not being able to do either is really a downer. I also don't do well in the eating department when I have a lot of time on my hands. So the more time goes by laying around with these drains in the more whale like I am starting to feel. Doc says the less movement the better chance my skin has to adhere back to the muscle and less build up of fluid meaning the drains come out sooner. So here I lay.
Will update pics when drains or at least two come out. Really don't feel like it until then. Hopefully at my appt tomorrow.
