WORTH IT$8,000
I'm 35 years old and my youngest child of 3 is 2 years old. I had already researched a few doctors before I even got pregnant with her because I wanted a mini tuck or something similar. Only problem was that the time was up smoke cigarettes sold the healing process would not have been good so I put it off. I got back into exercising and trying to eat right and I was not able to lose my stomach or my waistline the way it was before I had my last child so I started back researching and one of my friends had work done from Dr. Lincenberg and he did an awesome job so I went to him I liked what I was told and also his price range was more in my budget. I was approved for $6,000 on Care Credit and I had to pay $2,000 pocket. A procedure was scheduled for today at 8 a.m. this morning. Surgery was 3hour or so.... I also stayed in recovery for about 4 hours....now I'm home very sore

Day 2
tclark14September 21, 2016
So it's day 2 and I'm feeling everything as opposed to yesterday I assume it's because I was still heavily medicated on surgery day (yesterday). Dr. Lincenberg call me this morning to check on me to do a follow-up and asked if I had any questions only thing was I felt like my brain was really really tight and he told me it was okay if you loosen it just a little my tummy feels soooo flat and my medication I was taking it every 6 to 8 hours and he told me I could take it every 3 to 4 hours. I haven't really been able to eat anything I've been drinking a little ginger ale. I was able to eat a jello late-night and I ate a applesauce today. I don't have much of an appetite. The drains have my incisions feeling tender.

Glad your feeling better,keep us posted on your progress,..I'm wattling a tt too but em very scared..
September 23, 2016
Yes I feel better. I was scared also but we know beauty is pain. Of course I'm still swollen and every time I move it feels like I've done a million crunches. The Stomach is really the core of the body. No matter what you research or hear.... Its all that and then some. Make sure you have family and friends on your team that's going to lift you and help you move around your first week for sure.

So how has the last couple of days been going
October 12, 2016
It's been 3 weeks 2day and I feel 70% better....Of course I'm still swollen I am told give it 3 months at least for swelling to fully go down. Also posture is still sluggish even When I try to stand fully upright. My incision is really low....sometimes depends on how I sitor lay I feel a pinch in my hip where it's stitched....over All I'm sooo happy. I'll get Lipo in my back and bra roll in 6 months or so....depending on my diet and daily workout. I hope not to need to.

Day 4 and 5

I'm able to move around much better and sometimes throughout the day I need minimal assistance. Most times when I move it feels like I'm doing crunches so lifting up hurts like hell. So you have to be careful not to strain your body too much or you may damage something or split stitches or something. I want to see dr. Lincenberg yesterday for my first follow-up appointment he said I would need to keep my dreams and at least another 4 days and then he'll see if we can take them out but I'm draining much slower now
