Circumferential Tummy Tuck or Lower Body Lift - Dallas, TX

Yes.... :) *You will be so happy you made this decision! I will compare your first week post op, to delivering a child, the labor process/ giving birth process is well lets just say...no walk in the park, but when that new baby is out, the pain is forgot because of the reward. *Your first week post op will be very painful, uncomfortable, you will see all the stitches, and the swelling (my butt went wall flat also) you will be afraid that you were not going to look like the sucsess stories, All the water weight (I gained 15 lbs!), wont sleep cause of the pain meds, exhausted, the drains, everything hurts and you will ask yourself in tears.... WHAT WAS I THINKING!!! However, once that first week is over... THE NEW YOU WILL HAVE BEEN BORN! :). * I would suggest you have someone there 24 hrs to take care of you the first 3 days, someone loving and nurturing that you won't be embarrassed to be in your rawest form, because it isn't anything pretty. Let that person take full care of you ...meds, meals, drains, bathroom issues, shower, tears, EVERYTHING! Get off pain meds ASAP (I was off and on only Advil by day 7) I am vegan and I believe my diet and thought process had ALOT with my speedy recovery. I ate a raw vegan diet (nothing but fruits, veggies, nuts, and beans (beans arent not raw but needed the good protein!) and looked past the pain because, I knew A New Me was about to be born. Also being on bed rest for 2weeks gives you ALOT of "You time" Enjoy this it will seem like you have cabin fever at times, so I would encourage you to have lots of reading material, work books, and an Ipad w net flix on your lap! Lol But you can really get to know "you" by being with you for such a long period of time. I am so happy I did this, as I am now finally getting to see the beautiful body that was hidden behind the weight than excess skin. ***You Are Beautiful, And You Are Worth IT!!!! Enjoy!

Thank you for the advice. I hope you continue on a fast healthy recovery.

Good for you....have you had your surgery yet...or about to have it? This experience is the best gift of love I think I could have given myself.....from the start of the weight loss to the finish with the surgery....such a gift! Thank you so much, and ENJOY the new you that is about to be born!

Yes m 17 days post op and 2 years out GB. I have belly button necrosis but overall my results are great o think I get my stitches out wednesday

Thank you nenapassion8 I feel great!

Thank you....I feel fabulous!

Thank you so much....it is now 6wks post op. I have to say this was 1of the best decisions I've ever made!! I love my surgeon for taking such good care of me! 7 1/2 hrs he spent in that surgery room with me making a masterpiece.

Well you deserve it!!! It was the best investment I ever made....I invested in myself by doing so I have invested in everyone close to me. The shackles are removed and I can live......my children deserve a mom that loves the way she looks and feels ;) GIRL GO FOR IT!!!!

I'm so happy for you.....your body is probably starting to develop now correct? I was so swollen that I wore a compression garment and a binder. When I started wearing both my swelling went down tremendously.

Thank you....I do feel sexy! I think it is ok to be so found of myself now, because its almost like I'm looking at someone else. Like I know it's me, but I haven't fully connected to the fact that its really me (and that sometimes I feel like if I eat a candy bar Ill turn right back into the old me )

Thank you! It has been a journey that's for sure. I am very proud of myself for giving me a chance to be reborn ;) thank you
