Yes, I finally found the right surgeon for me. I'm scheduled for March 21 at 9am. Eventhough this is the 2nd time, I'm still very nervous and excited at the same time. This time, I try to keep my mind opened and hope for the best. Since the ps told me that he'll have to fix my ugly belly button and I might (I really hope that I don't but... who knows) have a small vertical scar. My ps will pull more skin and fat out of me for good. I don't know what to prepare.... There are so many things to do!

I live in Fountain Valley and have done much research on my TT to be. The best doctor for it in the US is Dr. David Stoker in Mrina del Rey. His results are outstanding!

Thanks girl! I'm really worried b/c my ps said that he's not sure if I have enough skin on my belly or underneath the belly button. Worse comes to worse, he'll have to do a small vertical scar and that's what scares me the most. but I hope he knows what is the best for me.

Are you ready for it? Have you brought the compression garment yet? I found this website really good (for quality and moneywise) but they only have it in Spanish. I'm still waiting for the garments to come before recommeding it to you girls on the site.

Oh, wow.... I didn't know about Dr Stoker but I choose Dr. Peter Newen. So far, his results are amazing and I've gone to almost 10 ps recently. I'm very skeptical nowadays. After what Dr. Thomas Nguyen put me throu, I couldn't trust any pictures but rather I demanded to meet their real patients and talk to them directly. I hope that you found the right ps for you b/c you still have enough skin and your muscles are not damaged by bad doctor. Plus, revisional tt is somewhat raise a redflag to ps. they charge you extra. some doc don't even want to do it and others charge you for consultation fees, etc. And you're going under the 2nd time with all the risks associated with it.... Omg, I hope this is the last time that I have to do this. I'll let you know my progress!

Also, from the look of your "picture" it looks like you have an American Eskimo dog. So do I! His name is Finian (means little white one in Irish) and he's just 4 years old.

Every Doctor in here encourage patients like us to go back and talk to your surgeon but I certainly don't think so. All you could get is just a run around and being intimidated. I will post after surgery pictures.

Dr. Nguyen, Thuan in Fountain Valley, California. The funny thing is the doctor who supposes to fix his bad work is his friend also. Hopefully, he's much better than his buddy.
