Had my tummy today with Dr. Kelly Kunkel in Ft. Worth, Tx. I wanted to get rid of strech marks and my mommy pooch so i can finally wear a bikini. Dr. Kunkel is wonderful. Before surgery, the nurse that worked with him in the operating room said how she loves working with him because he does such great work. That helped ease my mind. I had 4 consults before scheduling and I trust Dr Kunkel very much. He's done 2 breast augmentations on me already and after seeing the other dr's, i just trust him the most! I'm very sore and feel like I'm super bloated as if i just ate a huge meal. Pain not too bad. Feel like I did a million crunches. I'm walking very hunched over right now. Going to the bathroom makes me so physically tired just walking from my recliner. I feel so worn out like i ran a marathon! My hubby is helping me get around. He's so great. I also chose to go home after surgery instead of staying in the hospital. Ill post some before pictures. Im not taking off my binder until my post op on Thursday. Im too scared too do that. Also have 1 drain and its not so bad. Can't wait to see my new tummy!

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.
