My expectations are to have a flat stomach and fuller breast and be able to fill out clothing I was not able to fill out in the breast area. I’m NOT getting a breast lift because I do not want my nipples to be cut.
I completed my lab work and pending results which should be in to Doctor on Thursday 8/7/14.
EKG was completed today, and results have been sent to the Doctor. EKG was requested by my home doctor in NJ as a precautionary measure since my blood pressure was a little high when I went for my visit on Saturday 8/2/14.
I’m excited and focusing on the end result and even more thrilled that my sister is on the same journey.
My Sissy will be getting a BBL the same day as my procedure and we will be travelling together.

How did surgery Gi? I am scheduled for a TT and BA w/Dr Freiman Sept 19th! Can't wait but very nervous! I have never had general before so that scares me more than anything. Did you stay the entire time or did you return home? I also have Blanca but haven't had good communications with her.

Surgery went well. I've had 2 c-sections so I would compare this to a c- section. I'm hunched over like the hunchback. Recovery is rough! I was taking my medication as scheduled and now Tylenol every few hours cause my lower back hurts. My breast need to drop from implants so I'm massaging them. You must go to M & D to buy compression garments. Yes, I was told I needed to stay for 10 days but my stitches were removed 1 week after surgery so now I'm relaxing in Florida. Flight leaving on Tuesday and will be in NJ. I was focusing on end result and that helped me to overcome fears. Blanca was very responsive via email but when I had many questions we communicated via telephone. My sister was assigned to her as well per my request because we had our surgeries the same day.

Before seeing Dr. Jacob Freiman I had a list of questions. So I was prepared. Dr. Freiman answered my questions and was friendly and direct- down to business.

I live in NYC and flew to have Dr. Freiman as my px. I love my results so far the only thing is that the day of my px was the last day I saw him. He's not present in any of the PO visits and I always request to see him but he's always in "surgery" I fly back on sept 3rd. When is you'd px?

My surgery is sept 19th. I have to fly back to WI 2 days after so I am nervous about everything going well. What have they done at your post ops so far? I am so gla to hear things are going well for you and you got great results! Do you know if they had to intubated you during surgery? I am most worried about general as I've never had it before:(

Only 2 days!?!? I recommend you wear the compression sock to avoid any blog clogs in the legs. They recommended no travel for 2 weeks. In my experience I couldn't walk or sit at 2-3 days PO if you can stay at least 1 week do so or take lots of happy pills lol good luck with everything! xx

Oh and my understanding was they put tubes and they also put compression socks. After they put the anesthesia I feel asleep within 30 secs and in the blink of an eye they were dressing me and asked me to sit on a wheel chair. I slept the whole way back and went back to sleep almost all day long!

After surgery I woke up in recovery and realized I had a binder around my stomach. They also put on my bra and my dress. I did have drains. I hate the drains. I waited 3 hours for my sister to come out of surgery. Medication helped me with that. Lol. I had a post op appointment 24 hours after surgery - the next day and then 1 week from my surgery date the drain were removed and post op doctor removed my stitches and drains-- drain removal did hurt for a few seconds! I was happy the drains were removed.

Part of my Journey!

GetawaymommyAugust 23, 2014

So these are the pics I sent my patient coordinator Blanca! I combined all pics and of course added stickers on them to cover certain areas!

At this point I stopped dieting and began eating regular diet. I usually did the low carb diet but wanted to be off of that for a while.

Can I tell you this pushed me to really go through the surgery.

Again, focusing on end results!

Estimate

GetawaymommyAugust 23, 2014

My estimate from patient coordinator Blanca was $7,500.00.

I always received responses from patient coordinator Blanca in less than 24 hours- usually right away!

Blanca sent me the following via email:

The Dr evaluated your case and you are a good candidate for the mommy make over tummy tuck with lipo in the flanks to carve the beautiful waist line and breast augmentation with a silicon implant!

She then stated I was assigned to Dr. Jacob Freiman.

Break down below of cost:

Tummy Tuck & Lipo $4500
Breast Augmentation with silicon $3000

This included all fees and I would need to purchase compression garments.

Cost: $7500

I was told by patient coordinator that medications would need to be purchased prior to surgery as wells as compression garments. Date of email interaction: 7/9/14.
