Update!!
WORTH IT$799
So... I know it has been a good few months since I've updated my profile. My surgeon was very happy with my healing results. I'm going to fast forward a couple months after surgery. I recently found out that I'm pregnant! I was sad and happy when I found out. I was sad because I just recently gone under a tummy tuck procedure and the results would be gone before I knew it. I was happy for my daughter because she wouldn't grow up alone. I had an IUD for almost a year when I found out about my pregnancy. I was 6 weeks pregnant when my IUD was suggested to be removed.
When I told my surgeon, she mentioned that she can do the procedure again. I'm pretty excited. The husband and I don't plan on any more little ones anyway. (Even after our first little one, we didn't want any more.) That means that before this next procedure we need to have a permanent solution. It will be at least a year before another procedure, but I'm still pretty excited!

I really am excited today. I had a follow-up appointment with my surgeon. She removed one of my drains. I know it's only one, but it's much better than having both. I asked her to remove the one that's been causing me problems. The removal didn't hurt at all. I felt a little pressure in my abdomen when she pulled it out. I'm so thankful that I was able to get one..that one.. removed because it's been pulling on its stitches and burning. Now, I can sleep better at night. Also, I am able to sit now. FINALLY!!! (:

Hey there! I have a breast augmentation and tummy tuck with dr. Gold on 20. Aug. @ dgmc but I have heard good things about dr. Hogan. I'm excited...but I ended up spending about twice as much as you( the cost of the TT only) but I guess they update their price chart every July :-/ still a lot cheaper than the outside though!

Hey!
Sorry, I'm barely getting back to you. I'm hardly checking my profile/: I need to start checking it more often.
By the way, how did your surgery go? Are you pleased with your results?

I got a discount because it was combined with a medically necessary procedure.

You have a great shape, congrats! I hope you have an easy recovery. My surgery is Wednesday and I can't wait! Keep posting.

Thanks! I hope you have an easy recovery as well! You may not be focused on the results right away because of being under anesthesia, but I'm sure you're going to love your results.

I am so glad for you! It's a slow process, isn't it? My back is just killing me today. I'm so bored, not being able to do anything! But st least I like what I see, besides the swelling... I'll keep following you.

Thanks! It is a slow process, but in the end it will be worth it. That's good to hear that you're liking your results. I look exactly how I looked a few years ago..except I have some boobies. LOL. But, overall I am satisfied. Keep me updated with your progression.(:

I think you look wonderful!! He did a great job!!

Looking great! How is recovery?

Thank you! It's okay. I guess only because I'm so bored. I'm always busy. But besides that, its not as bad as I thought. I thought I wasn't going to be able to do anything. I still do everyday life things except shop, cook, drive, and lifting my little one. Lol. I was extremely exhausted the first few days...that after standing for a while I would need to rest.

When did you have your surgery? I'm not one to just sit. I thought it was going to be more painful than what I have experienced. Don't get me wrong I am sore but that is to be expected. One thing i wish my Dr. Could have saved my belly button. To many surgeries and scar tissue but he said he could make me one later. No thanks im 47 im fine without it.You take care.

I had my surgery June 25th...so about a week ago. I'm going to get my "belly button" tattooed to be darkened. My surgeon said that after repairing the hernia, my belly button was just "floating".
