WORTH IT$7,250

I am 27 years old, Pre-op weight 176 5'2, weight 2 days after TT 167. I had lots of excess skin after losing around 50 pounds. I also gained lots of weight in my 3 pregnancies. I was a young mother and really never cared about my weight and never took care of my skin. I am glad that I did this, I will never go back to the way I was before. I still plan on losing around 25 more pounds, my ideal weight is 150 or so. I loved my body at that weight. This is definitely a life changing decision, I am so glad that I did this!!. :)

Honestly I had a little pain for the first 3 days but the pain pills helped, after day 4 I was on Aspirin and no pain pills after day 8. When I swell it is uncomfortable but it goes away after I sit and relax

19 days post op! I am feeling more like myself again. Still get sore here and there but not major pain. Been applying neosporin twice a day and still showering with hybiclense per doctor. No compression garment, my doctor said I didnt need one but I will be buying like a spanx top or something like that. I also got the ok to get on appetite suppresants sooo glad that im on some. I am eating healthy eating often have energy but still no working out. Before my surgery I was wearing 12-14 jeans now only the 12s fit the 14s are loose and they look weird on me. Also I am naturally big busted, this year I might look into a breast reduction. I was originally wearing 40 D and now the cup fits big and straps are lose 38 D fits perfect! I had NO LIPO only on my private area just a little not by choice my PS said I needed it LOL... I have been off meds and have been working since day 8, I am a lucky one with no types of problems. Everyday does get better!! :)

I just had my 3 week post op appointment. My belly button stitches are out! Yay! Dr.Kadi said everything looks great, he said that I still have lots of swelling. My recovery has been amazing. I had no issues I was very prepared for all the ups and downs no depression. I am very pleased with my scar it is healing great and it is very low. I love it!! I received my before pictures and I just started crying in the lobby lol I cannot believe the difference. Everyday gets better. I am taking it day by day and enjoying my new self :)
