Excited/Nervous Mom of 3 Drainless Tummy Tuck/Lipo

Surgery Scheduled for This Monday, November 19th. I feel myself getting a bit anxious but i remember GODS word that reminds me to be anxious for nothing.
I have been waiting to have this procedure for a very long time but haven’t been able to. After giving birth to my last little one...my husband paid for me to have this done. It’s been a long time coming as my oldest is 20 and my youngest is 1!
I’ve carried this extra belly and skin around for so long that i don’t know how i will react to my new body! As a swimsuit designer, i May finally get a chance to comfortably wear my own brand! ????
I’ve researched this for many years and decided on Dr. Hakki and his team at the Luxxery practice in Waldorf MD. I am impressed with the Progressive Tension Procedure because of the lowered risk of infection related to drains, as well as the faster recovery time. I also like the fact that Dr. Hakki uses IV local anesthesia instead of General. I want to encourage anyone on here to do what makes them happy as long as it’s safe. Try to stay positive and love yourselves no matter what! Sorry for the long post. I will keep posting updates on my “after” and recovery in hopes to help someone...anticipating the same or similar procedures. Pics coming soon...

Had my procedure yesterday and i definitely underestimated the pain????. Boy was it bad! The pains are sharp and intense but want i have realized is that everyday counts and little by little condition approves. I am on meds now so I’m in no condition to take pics but i will later on in the week. I want to dr. Hakkis staff as they are the best in the business.

Crystal, Cherry, Stacey, Kim Renee, Carla and Kelly as well as the receptionist (forgot her name) are truly the best in the business! They go above and beyond the all of duty and let me tell u...it gets no better than them! Dr. Hakki is amazing, he under promises and over performs. I’m less then 24 hours I can already see a major difference????. That includes my swelling!!! Can u believe it!? I am grateful that they include lymphatic massages as apart of their care treat at i extra charge! They put the patient first...  i literally would have traveled out of town to see them if i weren’t local! Words cannot express how much i am moved by the professionalism and care they offered me! Before and After Pics coming soon...as soon as i get on my feet!!!

Please excuse he last post...lots and lots of typos-i was under the influence of the pain meds.????. Pain still pretty bad but progress is evident every day. I want to give a very real perspective of my experience because a lot of the posts i read seemed easier and less painful then what i had endured. Maybe it’s too soon to judge but at day 4 i am completely wiped out just going to the bathroom. Again, i want to highlight the amazing Dr. Hakki and his fantastic staff!
