Day of treatment
Flat Side
Hello ladies and gentlemen. I have made it over to the flat side. Everything went well. I am in no pain at all. I went in @ 7:45 a.m and made it home safely @ about 1:30 - 2:00. Dr Pagadala and his team were absolutely wonderful, they took really good care of me. I am upset that I am on my back as I did have both tummy tuck and bbl. I am sitting in my recliner with boppy, wedge and neck pillow. I have drained twice and sip on water every few minutes. I have been able to eat just a teaspoon of soup and few chicken crackers with some fresh pineapple. My mom and husband have been wonderful in taking care of me. I am on top of my meds even though I am in no pain, taking them every 3-4 hours. Well I am falling asleep again. I will update again later. Thanks for all your support.

Hi getmebody4, I have set my date for june 10. i can not wait. I live in birmingham,al and that's about 2hr30mins to columbus. I thinks it worth the drive after meeting with him and getting that feel that he will do right by me. I am planning to stay overnight since, I live so far. I will have to post pre and post pictures.

Thx Getmebody4, I so glad to have forms like these because, I really don't have any females friends who shares in my desire for improved me. I thought I had a drive on my hand but , you have me beat. I believe Dr.P, will be worth the drive. I have to stay overnight.

Pre-Op!!!
I had my pre-op with Dr. P today. I explained my desires with him about my tummy tuck and butt lift. I wanted to go ahead with the plan to have the tummy tuck and add the fat transfer to butt. Dr. P was all for it and even stated that I have began to show an hour glass shape (whaaattt!, thank you gold's sweat band). Dr P. asked me if I thought I could handle the recovery, me of course I state yes, not knowing how I am going to take to this surgery. He suggests that maybe I should have the tummy tuck now an later have the butt lift where he feels he could get even more fat especially from my thighs and plus the recovery will be less stressful doing the tuck and lift separately and you know what I agree. I will be having my tummy tuck on Feb 17th, 2014 and maybe in about six weeks or more I will come back for the butt lift. I am excited and more than ready. I am comfortable with my doctor and his staff, they have been so great with answering all my questions and concerns and I am confident that I will have the results that I am looking for.

Good luck with your surgery. I had a consult with Pagadala last year, and I am still considering him for a tummy tuck with lipo

Thank you. Congratulations to you for your little bundle of joy. Dr. P is a good doctor and he is caring and takes his time with each of his patients making them comfortable. I have gone through the emotions. i am beyond the nerves, I am more anxious and excited again.
