Much Needed Tummy Tuck! - Greensburg, PA

I have lost about 72 pounds. I have been at the same weight now for about 6 months. I decided to go have a consult in February 2016. I meant with the Dr. I was nervous about everything will I be a good candidate? Will I be happy with doing this? How long will the recovery be? He looked at my stomach and said yes I would be a good canidate with my stomach the way it hangs down. He said he will be able to make it flat and get rid of all the hanging skin. But with me being plus size I might not get the hour glass shape as I would if I was skinnier. But I'm ok with this. I hate when I run and I can hear my stomach hitting my legs. So I went home and discussed it with my husband surprisingly he was very supportive knowing how hard I have worked to get to where I am. So I went back here June and had another consult with the nurse about it. I had so many questions and she was very helpful answered all my questions and concerns. So I wefnt ahead and scheduled I am so excited. I'm not looking back!!! It's scheduled for September 15th!!!

Tomorrow I meet with the anesthesiologist to see if my throat is ok for a breathing tube. I have never been put under and also with me still being plus size even though I lost a lot of weight. Which really frustrates me. He wants to make sure he can get a breathing tube down my throat. I also scheduled my ekg for August 19th. I am going to get it done in Monroeville about an hour from my house. It's only cost 40.00 for both ekg and reading. Then I will get my blood work done at another location due to it being more reasonably priced. The cbc test is 59.30 and the bmp test is 72.70. I still have my days where im really excited, then scared of what could go wrong then back to excited. I know this is the best choice for me to be happy!!! I can't wait to get to the flat side!!!!
