WORTH IT$10,000

I'd been wanting a tummy tuck for 16 years..had a lot of skin below belly button. I also had muscle seperation. I researched doctors for quite a while before I decided on the one I chose. I felt like he had the best belly button 'afters' in my city.

I'm only two weeks out now, but I wanted to share my current pics with other people that are considering the surgery. I won't lie, it hurt like hell the first 3 days or so. I am just now almost able to stand up straight. I can already see an improvement, and hope it gets even better from here.

WOW! You look great!. You are not kidding when you said the first 3 days were awful. I'm just a little further along in my recovery then you, every day gets better and better. Do you have any problems with swelling?...my ankles swell up alot, I've also taken Arnica for the swelling and it seems to help alot.

Hi, I think you look great! I had mine on April 15. I see my PS again on the 27 of July. I still have some swelling, but doing and feeling wonderful, and loving my new shape. I was 157 when I had my surgery, but the DR. took off 5 pounds that day, and I lost the rest on my own. I now weigh 140! I wish you well on your road to recovery...... you look wonderful!!
