That's great! I want to go to Dr. Cochran too. Can you tell how tall you are and how much you weigh? I'm trying to get a better feel for how he prices things and it seems like the less you weigh the less he charges for the tummy tuck. By the way congratulations! I know you have to be SUPER excited!!

I also noticed be prices vary. I hadn't realized it may be due to your weight. Makes sense. I am scheduled for Oct 7th. Super anxious

5'3 and 195lbs. I am pear shaped though. My hips sit out and waist goes in, but I just want my tummy flatter. I want to keep my figure and curves, just wanna flatten that tummy area. I've lost like 60 lbs in the past, but all my curves and butt go, and I want to keep my hips and butt

I've obviously gained those 60lbs back,,lol, I like what gaining the weight back did to my hips and butt, but need to get rid of my tummy. I will be good then

Thanks for the info....sounds like you have a nice shape. I'm 5'6...184lbs but trying to lose 20lbs before I schedule with him.

So you're not really that big at all, you probably look slim because of your height. I am gonna still try to lose about 10 more before my surgery. (a total of 20lbs) . That's the most I would be comfortable losing.

Girl it took me two weeks to stand straight. I didn't even feel when he took the drain out. Who did your surgery

So how are you feeling now? Its a process for healing girl! You will have good days and bad days, but its worth it

I'm still sore on my sides... and very swollen in the bottom. Do the surgical garment supposed to cover the incision? Or just the belly area

My binder was in the middle of my belly,so it covered my incision some. But I used kotex to cover my incision with paper tape. That keeps the binder from rubbing it
