Hello Realself world! I have wanted a tummy tuck for the past 10 years. Well I finally did it!!! I will share my before pictures soon. At home recovering now. The experience was nervous but they made me feel so relaxed. I spent 1 night at the center. I am sore but considering he took off 5!!! Pounds of skin is just incredible to me.

Hello! You look really great.... Did you get any other services? I'm here in Keller,TX as well and was looking from local doctor with reasonable prices and a great reputation or else head to Miami.. What I got a quote from a Miami doctor if $5000 for the tummy tuck procedure... I really want aTT and BBL.. Got a great price on the combo as well...
April 17, 2016
Hi Candeceto,

Yes the TT and lipo to the flanks are my only procedures. I will add I did not have to get muscle repair since they were already strong. So, my procedure was skin removal only. Dr. Rumulla has a great professional reputation. He really cares about his patients. He requires me to visit every 2 days. Very personable and definitely knows his stuff! The price was very reasonable considering my life has changed for ever! I feel as though I have "me" back for the first time in years and its hard to put a price on that...totally satisfied and feeling very blessed. The pain is very low; as well as the bruising. He was very meticulous in every detail with my body and his work.

Thank you! Once again, you look great. So I am considering BBL with my TT.. But I was thinking that the BBL wouldn't be necessary if I get a lipo with the TT.. I don't want a big huge back side. Just rounded off a little.. Do you have a picture from the back!
April 17, 2016
Hey candaceto!
I don't have any pictures yet standing up because he still have me heavily bandaged and hunched over:( my butt was always plump but I think what i will notice is because my waistline has been pulled inward and the stomach flatter....the illusion will be my butt is rounder...you may not need a bbl...just think about it really hard. When I get more pics at my appts I'll update...I go tomorrow Monday
April 11, 2017
Any updated pictures?
April 28, 2016
im going in on mOnday for a FDL tt with hernia repair, muscle repair and BL. i am so scared! I love your results!! i hope im as happy as you are!!
April 28, 2016
Hey Ms Amt!
Thank you thank you so much! Are you getting it done here locally? Trust me I understand you are scared but you will be just fine and so excited when you are all healed...who's doing your surgery?
April 28, 2016
Dr Rumalla. I'm just not in a good place emotionally. My boyfriend supports me but we are going thru a rough time right now, I'm afraid of losing him at the moment and this should be the happiest time of my life. I have anxiety, which makes me question and oveerthink EVERYTHING & he's tired. I don't blame him.
April 28, 2016
This is YOUR time! You so deserve this and much more. It sounds like you really care about him and I understand that..but so many of us (Women) we go thru our adult lives thinking a loud and placing everyone else in front of the line..we place ourselves last. Whatever you have gone thru..this is now time , because you have earned it, for you to be first in your line of priorities. I am extremely happy for you! You are in the best of hands!!! Anything you need to vent, air out, discuss...please feel free to inbox anytime. Your emotional well being is a HUGE part of your recovery...
April 29, 2016
Thank you! So much & I know this, but it's so hard not to have that one person you need and want! I'll do my best to be better by Monday!
Much love to you & you look amazing!!
April 29, 2016
You are so welcome my dearest! you are not going to believe this! But after I read your post again about your surgery date...I remember at my last appt(I go to the Keller location)... I was scheduling my appointment for this Monday..I wanted to come earlier but the receptionist said no he will be in surgery Monday..I believe that was you!!!! So glad you wrote and shared..I believe all things happen for a reason! I will be checking in...

Are you local? What are you getting done?
April 17, 2016
No, I'm in Vancouver, WA. I'm doing a small revision to my breast reconstruction (had bi-lateral mastectomy couple of years ago) and I figured heck, while I'm there I have him do a tummy tuck. Been wanting and needing one for as long as I can remember.

How are you feeling?
April 17, 2016
Good for you!!! I'm feeling good..last night was alittle hard...had to take a pain Piti in middle of night for first time, but much better this morning. Hardest part for me is resting and shutting everything down cause I'm so used to working and being on the go
April 17, 2016
Pill
April 17, 2016
Yep that's me too, always doing and going. I'm horrible at asking for help, was mowing the yard 5 days after my mastectomy...stupid stupid stupid but in my defense, it needed to get done LOL

So glad you're doing good, keep me posted. I'm curious to know if the 2nd and 3rd weeks are worst than the 1st, I've read that a lot on here but I've read a lot on here.

Take care and lots of happy healing thoughts coming your way :)
April 17, 2016
I will keep you posted. Thank you very much and same to you
