I had my tummy tuck, lipo of inner thighs and flanks, and lip of my stomach and belly button fixed from a previous mini tummy tuck in 2005. I did a lot of research before going with DR Cochran . A lot of the doctors up here in ATl. They are charging to much cause of location and if there on tv. Saw doctor on 7/28 for consult and i paid my full surgery off the next day. Surgery was easy once you get your knock out meds. You are out my surgery started at 7;30 and 11;00 I was going home . I have no pain really just my back. I did not buy a lot of stuff at all. I started vitamin C,D,Iron, and Zinc a week before and still take it. First day I took tylenol and getting in and out of bed was a little hard so next day bought a walker. I have no regrets yet as long as my back and inner thighs go down and I see a difference. But I am on the flat side. I will say do not listen to everyone about there surgery only cause each person is different. You may heal different from them. Who knows some have other medical issues that cause there negative or positive feedback. Best of wishes all.

So after checking different doctors up here in ATL and having a consult with a few who were just crazy high. And out for the $$. I started looking outside of the atlanta area. Found a few but they were all booked like till December. I came across DR.Cochran on here had my consult on July 28 and paid the full balance on July 29 did lab work and got my date for 8/5. I have no complaints right now. Everyone is different so there body afterwards and price for work is different. Before I started surgery the week before I started taking vitamin C,D, Iron, and Zinc . Helped out a lot for me I must say. I had my tummy done, side flanks ,lipo, and inner thighs. I am still swollen but it is going down. So far I am satisfied. I am standing up straight. But I do say get a walker. i bought pads, a corset, chucks for the bed, ointment, sterile surgical strips, dial soap, cotton balls, Will post as I go.

swollen and had stomach

Been draining a little more but it is clear now. My stomach in certain spots is kinda hard. I was laying down and felt a popping do not know what that was but it made the spot it came from softer. Hope all muscle repair is still tight. My inner thighs are purple and blue . i have my garment on DR. Cochran gave me and a full knee length body garment for support and to mold my body. Pain is not bad at all been taking rapid release tylenol . Only pain is burning sometimes . Hot shower was great cause my bAack was killing me . I feel a knot i think its more then likely a bruise. Finally went to the bathroom. And it was not bad but you could feel the pressure in my stomach. My walker is my best support. I wish i could lay down to sleep. I hate sleeping up right.
