12 week post op update with lots of pics!

On 1/31/14 I have a consult with Dr. Gregory Swank in Hickory NC. I have heard very good things about him. I am set on getting a tummy tummy and depending upon what my consulting MD's say...a possible breast aug. I have two beautiful girls and I have always put others first until now. I know it's sounds vain but I am so sick of covering up my stomach at the beach. I'm gonna need lots of support throughout this journey and I hoped can find some encouragement through realself and others experiences. I will keep you updated...

I have so many questions to ask at my consult, from the technique that's best for me if I need a breast lift and do I really need an electric recliner? Really? Being a Nurse my biggest concerns are prevention of complications and if I do have complications what will my MD do to get me through them? I definitely want Exparel injections for post op pain control. I'm worried my consulting MD's wont offer it. I have no idea why I'm stressing so much. I'm 28 yrs. old with absolutely no health problems, I don't smoke, I rarely drink alcohol, I watch what I eat, exercise and drink tons of water so I should be fine right? Maybe I should schedule surgery ASAP so I will have less time to stress. Just kidding! But really I am set on having this done and I'm not backing out. Did anyone else stress before they even scheduled surgery?

I met with Dr. Eric Emerson today for a consult and my husband and I were so impressed with him and his Surgical Tech, Sharron that we Knew we had found the right Doctor. Dr. Emerson was very nice and he took time to answer all my questions. I will be having a full tummy tuck with lipo to the flanks and a breast lift with augmentation. I feel very blessed to be able to financially be able to have this surgery. I am also very blessed to have my wonderful husband supporting me 100 %.
