After 12 Years, Finally Pulling the Trigger- Getting a TT, Lipo, W/muscle Repair - Houston, TX

October 20, 2015

Awesome. He said he would put exparel to me as well. I'm gonna ask again just to be safe. I don't want to feel nothing. Lol.

October 20, 2015

Lol FitMom33. I know, he said that it would help with the pain for 6 days. I will be able to go back to work on the 7th day; however, Patty said to be safe, 10 days. How long did he say it will take to recover for you? I thought about bbl but than wasn't sure on it with TT since combo would be tricky with laying on your tummy to keep the booty round?

October 20, 2015

he mentioned 2 weeks. I work from home and it's a desk job so I should be fine. I hope. And girl yes I'm trying to think of ways of how I am going to sleep. I am also looking up suggestions from other members here on how they slept with tummy tuck and bbl. I want to be prepared. We shall see. Lol

October 20, 2015

You are brave! Let me know what you find out. This weekend I'm going to buy the depends, lol, so that I do not bleed through my sheets. Actually I'm going to make a checklist of things to buy ahead of time. I know Nov 6th that I have to be strict on not eating garlic, Vitamin C, ectra.. to prevent bruising. Not being able to drink wine is hard when attending weddings and parties :/

October 20, 2015

Yes I'm gonna be buying stuff ahead of time too. I don't really drink much but when I can't have it, its when I want it. Lol. I'll be getting depends too.

Spoke with one of the nurse and she said that we can get puppy pads to protect our bedding. They will be giving us supplies as well. Good news is that we can drink up to 3 days before surgery! Important thing is to buy antibacterial soap like dial. I asked if Dove was ok, she said yes, as long as it was antibacterial. I saw someone's post about buying recling lawn chair and cutting hole in it for the two procedures (TT and BBL).

October 24, 2015

Oh wow. Thank you for the tips Ms Saigon. Ill include those things in my list. I've read about the lawn chair. I happen to have one that's not too low. I'm gonna ask my husband to see what he can do with it. Thanks again!

In my opinion your tummy looks great now! But I know how it is to have personal goals for yourself! Good luck with everything I'm looking to get a TT soon after having two boys as well

October 25, 2015

Thank you soooo much britt5673! You get it!!! Good luck on your TT search.

November 19, 2015

I agree, with britt, I looked a lot like you before, and now I have to wear a 1 piece.

November 19, 2015

Don't do it with Newell

November 19, 2015

Please don't do it.. Not with Dr. Newall. He did mine, and I can't wear a bikini anymore. Much less a 2 peice. Well I didn't have a TT, but my sister did, she has no navel, its gone. He tried to make her one, But it's just a slightly dip, that's darker than her skin. He did lipo on my stomach. I weighed 117, 5'2" he removed 6 lbs from stomach, inner and outer thighs, which have a big long trench in the outer thights, don't wear shorts anymore. My stomach is a lumpy bumpy mess. 4 drs. said too aggressive use of too large a candala.I will be glad to send you picks. And check him out, he won't fix his mistakes.

November 19, 2015

I'm thinking real hard now....Thank you Joyce in Texas.

November 19, 2015

Please send pictures. thank you.

November 19, 2015

Not sure how to send on here, I can email them. My email is Threda@aol.com. send me an email and I will attach pics to you.

I can't believe I'm reading Joyce in Tx story. The exact same happened to me. Same doc. I wish I had never done my legs. So ugly I dont wear shorts anymore. Nothing can be done to fix it

November 20, 2015

Me too, and I bet Dr. Newall didn't do anything to fix it either. They are all so nice, before the surgery. Afterwards, they rush you out and get an attitude. Dr. Mentz saw my hemotoma , when I went for my massage, because newel was in surgery. And the girl didn't want to touch it, so she called a nurse, who called the dr. You could tell the look on their faces, they had never seen it before. The massage girl took pics.

Wow. I wonder how many more are out there like us. So sad. Lipo on my legs is my biggest regret of my life. My legs were fine before. Just wanted them to be slimmer. They are ruined. Im thinking of doung some cool sculpting to even out the lumpy bumpyness. And yes everybody is great BEFORE surgery and rush you out afterwards. Oh well its done. Live and learn and squat on.

November 20, 2015

My legs weren't bad either. The 4 opinions I had, said it looked like he just took one jab, horizonialy, in each outer thigh. it's just a dent.. I was thinking about cool sculpting also. I am just scared of any procedure now. When I look back at my pics, I'd give anything to have a smoothe stomach again. If I had just exercised a little more. What all did he do to you?

November 20, 2015

I'm really sorry about your surgery results and for mizzymo but I don't think it's right that y'all are on her post discussing that. Have you thought of making your own thread?

November 20, 2015

Well I came on to warn her about Dr. Newall. And NOT to use him. Mizzmo just commented. Thanks for your suggestion.

November 20, 2015

Praying for you today. Hope all goes well. Let us know when you're able to. ❤️

Tummy Wishing

Ms. SaigonOctober 24, 2015

Here's to wishing that my tummy will be back before motherhood. However, being a mom is the best thing that could have happen to me. Why am I doing this? For me. However, it does feel even better to look great and feel great; after all the heart aches. You see, my story is nothing special; however, I'm going to share. The day before thanksgiving 2004 (I'm pregnant with our second son) I find out about my ex-husband's infidelity. Made thanksgiving dinner the next day. Had our son December 16, 2004. Separated 2006, divorced 2009. Being a single parent is challenging to say the least (could write a book). Through the grace of God, I'm able to take care of us and pay cash for my tummy tuck. My fiancé does not think I need it, but supports my decision and will take care of me. The picture that I'm posting was when I was 22 years old in the United States Marine Corps.

Tummy after babies

Ms. SaigonOctober 24, 2015

Picture here is in Maui celebrating my 30th birthday with my than boyfriend who tried to tear me down and said "you're pretty but not that pretty. You have saggy [RS bleep] and stretch mark city". He was just really insecure with himself, I kept my dignity and did not throw back insults to hurt him. Although those remarks did hurt me; I was not going to let any man tell me what I was or wasn't.

October 25, 2015

Thanks New bod girl! When I sit down or bend over is when the skin is loose (separation from my muscles). Every time I look in the mirror; I just don't like my tummy. I will post pictures of me soon side view of before and after once I have my surgery. Again, thank you for the support.
