Mommy Makeover Time Finally TT with lipo BA, with lift - La Jolla, CA

Seroma possible

$20,000
Hi,
Well it looks like I have a seroma around my belly button.. I have to go get drained tomorrow and to top it off I was taking the diuretic... and my potassium is low...so drinking gatorade/coconut water/bananas to get it back up. I get cramps going up a few stairs. I am sad because I am messing up beach day for everyone becasue I have to go in when ever the Dr can see me. And I don't want to bring all the littles. Fun :)

I love Dr Saltz so far and I know this will be a great experience for me. Dr. Saltz and her nurse Ruth are so great. I email with all sorts of questions and they always answer. Dr. Saltz from La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Center was so amazing! She is one of the few, very few female Doctors in San Diego and her work is stellar!! The whole office is warm and welcoming, even for my kiddies who had to come in with me to one appointment. Her nurse Ruth was awesome, she was super informative and really great. She showed me her scars as well and they looked great. Ruth actually comes to your house the day after surgery to remove catheters and re- dress the incision sites as well. I was very worried about getting back in the car the day after surgery. Problem solved!!

You need to take of the seroma- don't worry about missing a beach day, we live in Southern California so there will be many more beach days for you and your family. Hope everything goes well tomorrow- please keep me posted! XOXO
Fantastic supply list. Thank you!
Thanks for this. How are you doing now? An update would be so helpful! Thanks!

Hi Laurie, looks like you're doing great! I''ve had mild swelling but the worst part is my thighs.
Thanks, I did too much today though.
I know the feeling. I only had one week for myself after surgery, then it was back to taking care of my one year old twins.
Twins buddy :) 1, you are amazing mine are 5 and my littlest is 3, boys..all asleep now :)
Lol- that's awesome!! Our twin boys are 20 months old and I also have a sixteen year old son too.
