I'm currently recovering from my tummy tuck and lipo flanks procedure done on Friday 27Sept2013. I had meet Dr.Ortiz at an open house and I was very impress by his professionalism. I was concerning a tummy tuck after have three wonderful boys and I was afraid of having any procedure done. However, I went through with it and was glad I did. I still have pain and the cut is still very fresh. I will continue to post as I recover. Please don't judge the pictures because it is not his finish product. I will try to continue to post was the weeks got by. Thank you and I hope this can help you.

This is day 14, I'm excited but still feeling achy and itchy. It has been a tough two weeks. I was able to get my drains removed by day four and I was glad. I'm still using my compression garment and I'm trying my best to keep a positive mind set with all the pain and stinging sensation. Overall I'm excited to see the out come.

Wow, it looks like your scar is healing really well! I had my TT the day b4 you. I hear you on the itching, achy and stinging down the sides of my legs! I had a bad day but am hopeful to keep positive. I had no idea how emotional this was gonna be for me.

Oh yeah me too, my emotions are crazy. I know I should be happy because I have not hanging tummy but not sleeping drives me nuts,lol. I got a couple of weeks to go back to work. I miss my job and my co-workers. For the most part we can try to keep each other and others motivated.

3rd week update
Huggies117October 21, 2013
So I reached my third week and I'm excited. I'm feeling a lot better. I saw my ps on Thursday and he said everything looks great and to expect my swelling to keep coming down. He also said that I may start feeling my legs get heavier since the swelling will be traveling downward. I didn't acknowledge it at first but on Friday I went to the mall and my legs felt like tons, lol. When I got home I had remember his remarks. However, I still have a bit of pain and discomfort . I'm looking forward to my total recovery. I still can't stand straight yet but I'm trying my best to keep trying.

That is awesome. Thank you . He is great and I had other people in the area tell me good things about him. I also researched his profile and was surprise that no one had reviews on Dr. Ortiz, However I decided to pray and trust in God and I'm very please with my results so far. I can't wait until my third month mark. Please keep in touch.
