WORTH IT$4,500
I have been stalking this site forever. .this site and the women posting have been super helpful..that's what led to me feel confident about getting my procedure.. I suffer from low self esteem like crazy...I don't go anywhere except to work and back home in my room.
I'm 30 years old 5'4 weigh 185lbs..my stomach is the worse. I will be doing a full TT with lipo, and also connsidering lipo on my inner thighs..my surgery date is set for dec 19 2013..I'm super nervous about it, and praying for a safe outcome..I started working out at home with my niece hoping to lose a few pounds. .I will add some before and next month I will add my afters if all works in my favor...oh by the way I am a mother of two girs ages 12 and 10..I'm married to a wonderful and supportive husband. I once weighed 230lbs and dropped to 130lbs and went back up after my wedding..I'm really looking forward to getting back into loving myself and fitting into a bikini for the first time.

I think you look good now so you definitely will be even more fabulous after surgery!

Thank you @luv2bmommy, I often here it but do not feel that way when the clothes come off.. hopefully with the tummy tuck and new way of eating healthy I can regain back my confidence.
November 12, 2013
I feel ya on that. ...I can't even stand to see myself naked let alone my man! Ugh
November 18, 2013
Totally understand! My husband would constantly tell me that I was beautiful and he loved my body! After babies, breastfeeding, and weight gain...I was embarrassed to change clothes in front of him...let alone intimacy! But not now! I am very confident with my new body. I've lost about 20lbs since the surgery (Dec 2012) and weigh about 145lbs now. I started the weight loss journey about 2 years ago (194lbs) and have roughly 10lbs left. Keep moving, drinking water, and believing in yourself! He will notice the NEW YOU!

Go for it! I've had a tummy tuck, lift and implants at Coral Gables and believe it was the best decision ever! I'm returning on the 17th because the left implant didn't "drop" into the correct position. The staff is amazing and want the best for their patients. Best wishes!

Thank u @fivekids..did u have your procedure at the same office or another location?
November 19, 2013
I had a lift and tummy tuck and later the implants at the Coral Gables office located at SW 27th Ave, Suite #302.Miami, Florida 33145. To me, it was worth the travel because of their professionalism and willingness to work with the client needs. Norma is my coordinator and Dr. Frieman my physician. Also, my sister-in-law went later (after seeing my breast surgery) to have her (implants) surgery corrected that was botched in OK after breast cancer. They were quite compassionate and over exceeded her needs! Best ever!

Just Checking...

So I continue to do research on my doctor. ..he's has numerous positive reviews since having his own practice. ..I checked his name under the American board of medical specialties and he's checks out as ABMS-board certified...no death, fishy activities, etc just wondering if I'm missing any other searchs or is that okay to go off of...I felt very comfortable with him during my consultation...Idk maybe its the countdown of my procedure that has me nervous.
