Hey girl! I too live in Ft Myers. I Had mine 8 weeks ago this week. Dr. Garramone did mine. He's great, and did an amazing job.
I hope the same for you. ;)
Let me know if you have any questions down the road. =)

Good for you! Would love to see pics if you have them. How are you feeling? Are you back to work yet?

Can you give me your doctor's name and address. I just had a tummy tuck on March 29, but want a different surgery. I am moving to Ft. Myers and would love to have the name of a good doctor. Thanks.

Thank you so very much. I have to say, I am a little nervous changing doctors, but I have no other choice. I actually had to drive 5 hours this time to get back to him. It's hard to put your trust in someone else. Thanks so much!

I know it has been awhile, but can you tell me if you are satisfied with your tummy tuck. I posted over a year ago that I was unhappy and needed a doctor in Ft. Myers. I just wanted to know what you think. Thanks.

Hi Kathy. I apologize for the delay, for some reason all of my real self messages are sending to my trash bin, and I just stumbled upon this message. Yes, Dr. Garramone far exceeded any expectations I could have imagined. No one can tell, or believes that I had any surgery at all because everything looks so natural. I am so sorry to hear that you are unhappy, I highly recommend calling him. What happened?

Welcome to RealSelf!! I like how you say "A Torso Issue" Love it! Oh I had a double muffin top torso issue all right!
So tell me what did you go through to find your doctor? That seems to be the hardest part for people.
Well keep posting and we will all help you through your process:) Also make sure to take those before and after pictures. It will be so fun for you to watch the changes taking place with your body as you heal.

Hey Kimmers! I have been reading practically all of your posts and I have to say you look amazing!!! You should be soooo proud of yourself.
Someone mentioned you had a daily diary of your recovery but I can't find it. Can you direct me to it?
Thanks for all of your dedication to the women on this site. What an inspiration you are. Have a great day!

Believe it or not, posting these pics was not as painful as I thought it would be! Maybe it's because it means I'm one step closer to the "after" pics :)

Basically, I did an internet search for board certified plastic surgeons in SW Florida. Dr. Farahmand came up and I scrutinized her site. I then found out that she had trained at the Mayo Clinic and that impressed me as well as all of the before and after pictures with testimonials from former patients. I met with her and she was supportive, informative, and most of all, cordial!
I will be posting some before pictures soon. Thanks for your responses!

I look forward to reading your posts as you go through your process.
Sounds like you did some really good research and that is wonderful.
April 4, 2011
Yay! Thanks for being brave enough to post your before pics! I bet you'll be thrilled with your results.

Hi, are you doing tt w/hip lipo? Very interested in doing it sometime in June. Will call her office to set up complimentary consultation very soon. Is your price for both procedures? Where do you get the before/after pictures and testimonials for Dr. F? Thanks, just gathering info. Who knows, we might do the surgery together?
April 17, 2011
Holy cow, that would be great!!! Yes, I am doing both procedures and the price is for both. I found her site very helpful, just do a search for her and her site will come up. She has plenty of before/after pics on there and then even more in her office. I only found 3 testimonials for her so far but I am confident and satisfied. Keep me up to date on you decisions and such!
April 18, 2011
Thx for the info. Will let you know what happens in the consultation.
someone from ft.myers posted that she used Dr. Garramone and was very satisfied. Have you checked him? Thinking of checking him out, as well. Thx again and will keep you posted.

I did not check Dr. Garramone but I keep hearing wonderful things about him. I think checking him out would be a great idea for you. You going to post any pics?

I am scheduled for a Mommy makeover on June 22 also! I am getting super nervous, im still waiting to c if i will have enough $ to get it done, but im also nervous about the surgery itself. I had 3 kids in 2 years, a twin pregnancy and when they were 4 months old, i got pregnant again. So ready for my body back, u must be so excited!!! Hopefully i can get it done and we can keep each other posted!
April 19, 2011
That would be great! Let us know if you need any support in your decision process. And going through it with you would be nice.

I can't wait to see your results. Do you still not have help after surgery? My teenager daughter helped me out a bunch. I really needed help getting my food and getting out of my recliner the first day. She still brings me food sometimes, but I can do the rest. I was pretty self-sufficient the 2nd day, but you will definitely need help at least the first 3 days.

hey booka, who i your ps? are you happy/satisfied with his/her? I am doing my first week of June in SWF.

Hi, i have my review done too if you are able to check. I had Dr. Gloria Thomas of Premiere Center for Plastic Surgery. I actually love her, idk about the other physicians there, but I've researched her and she's great to me. I am posting pictures of my new belly. It's swollen, but i am not worried about it, so far it looks so different and I am pleased.
June 22, 2011
Good luck tomorrow hon you'll be so glad it's over relax smile and know we are all thinking of you. xo
Very exciting! We'd love to hear more about you. What ultimately pushed you to seek out a tummy tuck? What are your biggest concerns about the surgery?
I started a Check In discussion for ladies getting tummy tucks in June. Head over and tell us more about yourself.
