PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE....

Hi ladies, I'm almost 17 weeks post-op and just want to give you guys a update on my progress. First let me say that this procedure and this healing process is very real and not for the weak at heart. And a lot of patience is definitely required. Since my last post, I've gone through a series of very painful drainage massages, however, my results and the swelling have improved tremendously. Although I'm still dealing with "swell hell", I can finally see a light at the end of this tunnel. My back is looking much, much better and my tummy is flat. I still get a lot of swelling on my back and lower tummy area, especially in the afternoons. At least now I have a good idea of what my body will look like when all of this is behind me. I can finally say that I'm very happy with my results. Just remember patience is truly key. Happy healing!

11 week update

Hello ladies, just checking in at 11 weeks post-op. Life is pretty much back to normal and I got back in the gym at 6 weeks. My weight is down 21 lbs since my surgery date. I Had my appointment with Dr. Davoudi this week and I'm not a happy camper. Although I love my results, I don't feel he was aggressive enough with my back lipo. I still have a lot of "fat" on my back and I'm totally disgusted. He claims that its still very early (11 weeks post-op) and I need to be patience. He says the skin on the back area is very thick and takes longer to conform. Hummm! At this point i have no choice but to trust him but I'm not happy. I know that I'm still a bit swollen in that area and there's still some numbness but I don't think those fat rolls would still be there if he removed everything. In addition, the end of my incision on my left side is a little raised. Not quite a dog ear yet but not flat either. He said if this doesn't go down he'll fix it. And last but not least, I have a small indention on my left butt cheek. This is where he made the incision to lipo my lower back. He said of this doesn't correct itself he'll fill it in. He wants me to wait until September before doing any revisions. Needless to say I'm pretty bummed!! The point of having my surgery in January was to have my body together for the summer. Don't get me wrong I realize that there's a huge difference in my before and after. I also realize that there was a lot of fat on my back to remove but for $14,500 I want perfection. I'll wait another 5 weeks to see if I'm making anymore progress. In the meantime I'll continue to eat healthy, workout and pray this fat on my back goes away. This has been one hell of a journey.
Well, here are a couple of comparison pics. Do you think I'm overreacting??

Before / after at 4 weeks.

Provider Review

  • 10 Dec 2015

After interviewing (yes interviewing) 5 different doctors, I decided to go with Dr. Morgan Davoudi for my tummy tuck and liposuction. My selections were narrowed down to Dr. Morgan Davoudi of Duluth, Ga and Dr. John Connors of Atlanta, Ga. Although I felt that both doctors were very qualified, the deciding factor for me was Dr. Davoudi's clients had body shapes that look like mine, with a little more fluff. Dr. Connors patients appeared to be a bit thinner in size. It was important and comforting for me to know that my surgeon is acustomed to tummy tucks with a bit more volume. My experience with Dr. Davoudi's office was pleasant and professional. The day of my consultation the office was very busy so my wait was a little longer than I had hoped. Also, when I met with Dr. Davoudi, he spoke very fast and seemed a bit rushed and rehearsed. However, it wasn't to the point of raising concern. He was very thorough, informative and gave me a lot of information. After a bit more consideration, I paid my deposit and booked my surgery date the next week. Well, I know this is going to be a journey of pain and healing but I'm soooo praying and looking forward to a wonderful outcome. I thank all of you here on RealSelf for your post, comments, etc. as you've made my decision process a lot easier. Please, please keep me in your prayers as I journey over to the flat side along with many of you. I will definitely need your support, tips, advice, words of wisdom, etc. Updates and pics coming soon.........
