WORTH IT$6,300
I researched Abdominoplasty for two yrs. Decided to go with Dr. Norris. 3 days post op and feel great. Pain is tolerable. I suggest the Exparel he uses for pain control. Post op days 1 & 2 not so good but pain tolerable. Dr. Norris' consultation very informative and leaves nothing out. Dr. Norris rocks!

Post op day 6
kp75September 22, 2016
Appt with Surgeon yesterday. He stated that my scar looks good, it's healing well, my stomach muscles are sore like I have done 1000 sit-ups, Dr. Norris decided that my drains need to stay put for one more week. I went out yesterday after my doctors appt and had lunch at Cheddar's. Watching my sodium intake very closely but it felt good to eat real food. Sodium makes you swell in excess of the swelling you are already gonna do. I ate grilled Salmon with ginger rice, steamed broccoli with corn and topped it off with peach crisp ala mode. Needless to say I could only taste small amts of each and save the rest for later, I can't fill my belly like I used to. I thought this journey would be bad but it's been very tolerable.

And what a nice gift this is to yourself:) Sounds like you are doing well and hanging in there. Keep us updated on how you are doing as you continue to heal.
You are on track with everything. The drains do serve a good purpose and will be out before you know it. Lunch sounds fantastic, and pretty healthy. I also noticed that I was not able to eat much at all after surgery. My tummy was squished. Thank you for posting the update.
Much appreciated.
