Loving my new tummy. In two weeks from today I'm going back for a consultation to get a little extra lipo on my lower belly and possibly a Brazilian butt lift. Feeling excited!

Looking awesome
Thanks girl how have you been??
I'm doing ok. My Ps has to fix an area in the center that never heal right. It left a larger scar there. I am just getting back in the gym the last two weeks. I feel like you I want my lower tummy to be flatter. I feel like they should have recommended lipo there. I'm going to work out to get rid of it hopefully. I don't want to pay him any more money at this point
Hello I know I haven't been on in a while. I have an important question. When you were billed for your surgery did they give you a total price everything together or did you have to pay the anestheologist himself separate? My Ps never explained about any other charges other than what was on my purposal. If they charge me separate I will be so pissed at my Ps. I will take them to court . Sorry I am ranting I'm really upset about this. Thanks for listening.
My PS gave me a break down of his fees..The surgery center and the anestheologist . I paid all 3 of them separately. Good luck ♡
Thank you for replying back
They said u can pay separate or everything together. I chose everything together. It was just easier that way
I paid one payment all together for everything.
My surgeon never told me there would be any other charges. Everything was totaled together which I paid. The anestheseolist is trying to bill me separate for their individual fee. I am so upset about this. I already am having to pay a bill from the ER due to the outpatient not making sure I could urinate before I left .
Thinks for the info
My ps included a CosmetAssure policy to cover any potential complications so my ER bill was covered in full. You might ask your PS if he has one.
Thanks I will ask about that. We never discussed anything by that name though. It was the Ps reasponsibility to make sure everything was good before I left the out patient facility but they evidently forgot that. I haven't said anything about hue bill yet but I believe I'm going to stop in and talk with them about all this. Thanks everyone for trying to help
I too had an insurance policy included for any problems related to the surgery.
You look great!
Thanks honey! It feels great fitting in nice clothes comfortably!
I don't think they can do lipo on our lower tummy's with the tummy tuck. It compromises so much blood flow already during the surgery since it's so invasive. At least that's what my dr. told me. I went to several consultations before I chose the dr. that did my tummy tuck and I did have another surgeon tell me that my skin is thick and that even after a tummy tuck I would need some lipo for extra contouring. I'm with you....I really don't want to pay any more money, I think a revision should be free! But l do want a brazillain butt lift so if he sucks the fat out of my lower belly, my inner thighs and a little more on my back that will be my extra booty fat....lol. I guess I'll see what he says and how much he's talking when I go in on February 4th! You look great, keep me posted on your continued progress and your revision. :)
Thanks I never ask about that but sounds accurate. I guess I was thinking lipo on upper abdominal area being done and then stretched to lower area. If that makes any sense? But I wish all the luck on everything. I am 80% pleased with my out come. I just have to stay with the gym or I feel like I'll have waisted my money.
I am doing well. Getting back to the gym now often. I have a few areas I am not to pleased with. Just motivated to burn off some excess fat.

9 weeks today!

Hey ladies, I can't believe it's been 9 weeks already since my surgery! Everything is healing great, exercise is coming along. I was 173 post op now I'm 160! Wooohoo! I'm down one size in some clothes and two sizes in another depending on what it is. For the most part I'm a size 8 now in women's or 11 in juniors! I'm still tender in my ab area most of my feeling has come back also. Im not numb below the bellybutton anymore. U can see it's a huge improvement from my before pix but I still have a little fat on my tummy...no worries I consult with my PS in February!

Congratulations! You look great!
Thanks I'll take it! From how i looked before, im happy!
I think you look great and you are a reminder that even though we have this surgery, and our huge guts are chopped off, it still takes a while for the final results to show up! I am 2 weeks post op and even I am getting impatient, but I need to remind myself that I (we) Look great now, be we will look amazing soon!! So happy for your weight loss, I can't wait to be where you are!! :) What did they ever do about your belly button? Happy healing!
Trust me the healing is an emotional roller coaster one minute you love it the next minute you hate it! The swelling sucks I'm still dealing with that but it's way better than a few weeks ago. I just had to put gauze in my BB with paper tape covering it for about 10 days then it eventually stopped draining/bleeding. Your looking fabulous so far so hang in there it'll get better honey
Thank you for the positive reinforcement!! I really need to hear that and know that this is a journey, Not a quick fix!
Two snaps and a twist for you lady! Go Grl!
Lol that made me laugh! Thanks girl!
Congrats!! 10lbs gone, that is awesome.
