Oddly enough I only found out about Dr. Hubbard last year when I needed a hand specialist after an injury. Most Drs make you feel rushed like they need to jump to the next patient any minute. Dr. Hubbard never made me feel that way, and that's a quality I like. I'm pretty picky about my Drs, and when I realized I was going to want plastic surgery after losing weight, I knew I would feel comfortable using him. He's also a perfectionist which means he will do his absolute best because he couldn't be happy with himself otherwise. I've enjoyed being treated like a normal human who has a brain and not talked down to because I'm not a dr! Julie is definitely an amazing person, and does everything she can to help you and make you feel better! I had a circumferential tummy tuck, so it went all the way around my body! I'm absolutely in love with the results even with a couple complications. I kinda wish I'd just gone ahead and done the mommy makeover because my nice flat tummy shows how bad the rest of me looks! I feel fortunate to have found him and would recommend him to anyone! In fact, I already have!lol! Never thought I would have plastic surgery, but I'm soooo happy I made the decision! Thanks to Dr.Hubbard and staff for a great overall experience! (What can I say, it hurts like h*ll the first week or two)

Don't worry, it will! It feels slow in the first week, but it's just a gradual process! And if you can, use the first week for complete rest! Your body will thank you for it! Of course you want to move around enough to avoid blood clots or sores:). I found getting up and getting back down were the hardest! Hope your recovery goes well!

Thanks How long did you take pain pill for. Maybe I am rushing it my trying to get off too soon.

I'm glad you asked! I was so worried about taking them so long, but my PS reminded me of what my body had been through. I took them daily for atleast 2 weeks, and then was able to cut down slowly to mostly at night. I can't imagine going without them for the first week. Everyone is different, so it's possible you could get off of them sooner, but I was told "if you need it, take it". Honestly I still need them occassionally. Usually after I've over done it. I'm at 4 1/2 weeks out, so still healing. I had some skin die at the front lowest part of my incision, so it's taken a little longer than normal. Definitely don't push too hard to get back to normal life. I know it feels long, but it really is a major surgery and requires a significant recovery time. Just go one day at a time. Your body will let you know what it needs:)

What can I say!!? I've never regretted having the surgery! Even though I've put some unwanted pounds back on, my tummy looks amazing! Just had a nurse tell me that she wished her tummy looked like mine! I had to explain why it looked that good! She was getting all the info she could! It really makes me feel younger, and that is priceless! I will post new pics soon!
