I been on RS following doctors and other women who have gotten a tummy tuck and/or lipo. I first started my journey about 5 years ago with lipo resolved "shots injected to kill fat". Didn't work and a lawsuit was brought up against the Overland Park location. No results for me. What I did receive was a blotted belly that was dis colored. Great news is, my $2500 was refunded. Now I'm back, this time researching TT. I'm super scared but mentally I think I'm ready. I love myself but I hate my tummy and I'm so self conscious of it. I'm being brave posting these pics. I'm looking for advise from other women that feel as I do. Ps. I had surgery scheduled with SonaBella but I canceled it. Afraid of the saggy skin I may have afterwards. I long to have that flat tummy and too be able to wear a two piece. My 50th bday gift to myself. :-)

Lipo or TT any suggestions?
Dropping inches and a lil weight before my tentative surgery in March
Losing a lil weight before my precedure. I've opted out of having a TT. I'm researching triplex lipo.
Being vain
Does anyone else look at family, friends and other ladies maybe at your child's sports practice.....and feel a lil selfish or bad that you're not happy with the skin you're in? I look at people around me and think, why am I being so vain? I love me but hate this ugly A stomach that looks like a butt when I lose a lot of weight. I want this and I dream about it day in and day out....I guess I'm just feeling guilty & emotional.
Wish look
I wanna look like this in jeans. The pic on the left.
Don't need bbl but can't wait to have belly gone
After looking at the women getting BBL it almost made me think I wanted to enhance mine but then thought...my butt is already huge....why fix what isn't broke. Now that belly is a different matter....can't wait to have it gone and get my small waist back. Im taking 12 days off, I sure hope that's enough time to heal. I have a 12 year old son so I don't want to use up all my time. So I'm praying that when I have my surgery everything goes smoothly and recovery be a breeze. It scares me because of all the pain some feels. But I'm a tough cookie, so I'm ready. June 30th can't get here to soon. :-)
5weeks and 5days before my procedure.
June 28th is fast approaching. I will have a Tt/mr/lipo of the flanks. I'm more excited than nervous.
Supplies
A few things to for my aftercare. Toilet seat I had from when my brother was ill. He never used it and I tried selling it in my garage sale last year. Glad I still have it. It's going to come in handy.
5weeks
In 5 weeks this wrinkled mess will be gone. I pray for Gods hands of protection over the surgeon to care for me and take great care and bring me over to the flat side with no complications. I pray for great results and a speedy recovery. ???????? in Jesus mighty name. I pray amen.
Sx date 6/28/16
I finally decided on a PS. After 4 consults I finally chose a doc in my area. He was listed at the top but I didn't won't to pay for the consult so I kept pushing him off. Sx has been paid, preop was Monday, 6/13/16. Having tt/ mr and lipo in flanks and back. I'm excited not too anxious yet, but I'm sure that will change as time gets closer. I'm very secure in my decision to choose Dr. Eric Swanson. Pray for me as I pray for all of you. I will keep you guys updated.
I am now on the Flatside; Tt/mr and Lipo to the flanks
Had my surgery done yesterday, June 28th. With Eric Swanson at Swanson cosmetic surgery center. Dr. Swanson and his staff are the greatest. Kind, patient, artistic, professional and all around good people. I had 4 consults with Dr. Swanson being my last. What they say: save the best for last. My first day was very painful. I had to take 1 pill every 2 hours instead of 2 every 4. Finally got the pain under control. Feeling good right now.
Talented Doc
Dr. Swanson and his staff are amazing. From the consult to the day of my procedure. Dr. Is very kind, patient and very knowledgable in what he does. Janice and Kim are amazing. I've had 4 consults, dr Swanson being my 4th "best for last". If you're looking for experience surgeon that takes pride, then The Swanson group is the place.

Happy Early Birthday to Me. Loving my Results
Very happy with my decision and everything is getting better each day. Only thing I can't stand is the lower part of my swelling....under my bb. My kengina is huge, my flanks and lower back are just a lil tender. I can now sleep on my side. 4wpo. My experience was great. From the consult to the preop to the day of sx.
