Written on PO Day 18- Sherry (patient coordinator) gave me the first great impression. I was in a time crunch, and she managed to get me in right away. She was really nice & understanding. I had been planning this surgery (by looking at realself.com and other websites, saving money) for over a year. Dr. Clark said I practically ran the consult myself. She stated that she loved doing tummy tucks because they make people so happy afterwards, because there is such a large charge in your appearance. I can say for sure, yes it really does make you happy! I had a few more questions, which I emailed her, and she responded very quickly. I had another consult booked, but I cancelled because I knew I had found my doctor. I booked my surgery and felt happy with my decision. Anytime I called in, the front desk girls were very nice, and they would answer my question, or get me to a nurse that could give me the right info. I had a little emergency when one of my drains got pulled halfway out on PO day 2 (a Saturday). We called the office (it was an answering service) and within 10-15 minutes we received a call back from Dr. Clark. I was impressed. The office has been very accommodating, the nurses are friendly, and I just love Dr. Clark. My scar is looking good, and I will be going back to her for any future work that I have done.

Looking great, Time! Each day gets easier. Take it easy and listen to your body. Yay for the flat side!
Hi there: just checking in with you. How are you doing? I had a TT with Dr Clark in July. Hope you're pleased with your results!

1 Week Post OP Doctors Visit- Taking off the Tape- Seeing the Incision

Ok, so we went to the PS office last Friday.

I had my drain removed, little pinch, but she did it quickly, and my other stiches removed (from lipo), my belly button stictch, and then she removed the tape from my incision and cut two small knot like stitches that I couldn't feel because everything is numb there.

I got all freaked out because they didn't put tape back on it. Just ABD pads & the binder. They put a large wad of gauze over the drain which was good, that leaked though.

I was sooo scared of my own incision for about a day or so.

They had told me to shave up to the incision line to not get any ingrown hairs. I think that was the worst. So gross. Trying to go at that incision line with a razor, it was hard. But I did it!

These are a few pics from the first full shower & shave.

Washing my Hair- Without getting my garmet wet

I had to take a photo this, because it was pure genius, and looked hilarious once we got it on.

I wanted to wash my hair, but did not want to go through getting completely undressed out of the garment, and having the water partly go on me & be cold. My solution was to cut a hole out of a trash bag, and then tape it up at the neck while i sit on a stool. it looked so funny I had to take a photo.
