Well, I havent been here in a while.. Im doing...

WORTH IT$7,250
Well, I havent been here in a while.. Im doing great.. I am 10 months post op... I had the final revision to my left side in September 2011 so I am 4 months post op left side revision (posted pics for u to see). My transformation is complete. I am extremely happy with my results and although I am not super skinny I feel and look great.. I love the way clothes fit me now and that I no longer have to lift the apron belly to clean it. This was so worth it..

I still get numb and swollen at the end of the day, but I was told that it will eventually go away, that It could take up to 18 months to be completely recoop from this type of surgery.

I hope that my story has been helpful to you all.

Good luck to those of you who are looking forward to getting your tummy tuck done..

I would defenitely recomend Dr. S. He works along side his wife Natu who is a pleasure to see whenever I have been to the office. Dr. S gave me realistic spectations of what my results would be like, he explained everything to me in details and both him and his wife answered all of my questions no matter how silly they were. Their staff is really nice and always treated me respectfully, they were all very courteous on the phone as well as in person. The surgey facility was also excellent and the nurses were great and tended to my every needs. www.sebringplasticsurgery.net

How is the revision done?
At the doctor's office with Local Anesthesia.. U walk out as soon as its done.. it was just removing the little flanks of skin that were poking out on the sides, do my scar is now longer towards the back...

You look wonderful!  Thank you for checking in!

Thanks... I feel great Too.. Wink
Hey momma79, we have just about the same stats pre surgery. I bought the cupids waist cinching brief today from walmart but I got a large I'm thinking I could have gotten a medium?? What size did you have to get and is is working for you so far?
Hi, I bought a large.. u dont want it to squeeze you too much cause u may not be able to breathe, and it will make ur back feel weird if its too tight... It worked great for me, I only used it for the 1st 6 weeks post surgery.. I am 10 months post surgery now.. What I did end up doing though on day 5, I cut off the legs so that I wouldnt have to be pulling up and down everytime I went to the bathroom cause I was really uncomfortable pulling up and needed help for the hubby to pull it all the way up.. so I purchased a second one for when I felt I could pull it up on my own
oh ok thanks momma79, yeah I felt like the medium would have probably squeezed the breathe out of me..lol (thank goodness I got the large) its been working pretty good so far. Been wearing it all day, I'll probably alternate this with a couple other CG that I have purhcased as well. Once again, thanks, and I will be following your progress...;o)
You look great. I'm glad everything was successful for you.

Wow, havent been on here for a while.. but I am 4 months post of as of yesterday.. I am loving my results..

Yesterday however I had a revision to the right side since I had a small chunk of fat poking out and I will most likely get a revision on the left side as well to make both sides symetrical... Im not in much pain from the revision procedure and Im loving how it looks so far... I was told I should wait 4 weeks before deciding on wether I want to have the left side revision as well but I have already decided that I want to do it.. I dont want to do it ASAP.. I really dont want to spend the whole summer trying to heal up...

I posted pics today.. and will post the revision pics next week once the sutures come off...

Momma79, you look great. I had to have surgery last Thursday and was told that I could have my TT in 3 to 4 months. I would have had the TT on Thursday, but my GYN, who is also my PS stated it would not have been safe for me, because I would have been under too long. You have been a hugh encouragement for me and I than you very much!
Awww... Ms Cee sorry to hear about the delay, but it is well worth the wait.... and its best for you to be as healthy as possible... I cant wait to see your after pics... keep me posted and I hope you get well really soon .....
