Well, so far so good. I'm happy with the incision... it's pretty symmetric. My right boob looks a bit lower on pics but, hopefully the dropping and fluffing will even that out. The pain is tolerable. Went down to one pain pill today. But the gas.... HORRIBLE!!! I've been doing hot tea, gas x and walking. I showered the morning after surgery which was great! So glad I didn't have to wait for days. Probably because he used the tape on the incisions that will last 4-6 weeks. No regrets at this point. My family has been awesome!!!

So happy to hear how well it is going!!! Gas pains were horrible for me day 2. Still waiting for a bm. I thought today it would happen but no such luck. I thought I would freak out seeing my incision today and I didn't! Perhaps since I've seen so many on here? You look great and hope your recovery continues to be fabulous!

Hi!! So glad to see a review for Dr. P on here. Did you get the True Form tummy tuck? (Perhaps that is the only tummy tuck option he offers?) Did you spend the night in his surgery center? Would love to see updated pics when you have the time. Thanks for sharing your story!

Hey!!! I love Dr. P... Everything turned out great. Still working on lightening my tt incision scar but the scars from the ba are invisible so I'm sure it will be too. I chose Dr. P because he has great belly buttons and mine turned out well. The process was easy. It's like I was trying to think of stuff to ask because it seemed like there should be more to it! My TT pain was minimal. The exparel lasted for over a week. My BA actually bothered me more because of the muscle spasms but, still quite bearable. I needed minimal help post op. My family would just set everything up for my showers and I was able to do the rest. The worst pain I had after surgery was the GAS!!! OMG!!! I will try to take pics tonight for you... I love my new body. Especially, my new boobs!!! They are perfect in size, shape and everything. I told him the look I was going for and I got exactly that. They even told me "no" when I got boob greed. At the end of the day I think you pay for what you get and I got a smooth, carefree surgery and recovery with awesome results. Feel free to ask away...

Well, ladies it's done! Surgery went well although it started two hours late. Anesthesiologist told me he was about to give me a margarita and the next thing I knew I was in recovery. The pressure/pain from the BA was worse than the TT incision last night; the pressure was pretty uncomfortable until my second dose of pain meds. However, the nausea has been worse. Zofran isn't doing the trick so they're calling in phenergan.
Had to shower before my nurse visit this morning so I took a quick pic... I'm pleased! Ace wrap is gone now so, I'm in the front closure bra and she applied a new abdominal binder. About to try to get some rest since I was going to the bathroom to pee every few hours all night! Hope you guys are doing well also. Oh, almost forgot... NO DRAINS!!!

Looking good!! We made it! I keep taking tiny cat naps. Can't wait for a longer stretch of sleep!

Me too! I can only get a few hours of sleep at a time. I think I'd feel better if I could get at least four hours straight. Oh, well... in time. I was expecting the worse so me being able to tolerate the discomfort well is a relief.
