WORTH IT$1,500
Sorry, it's been so long. I've been so covered up making all the programming changes for the new ICD-10 changes coming up in the healthcare industry. Plus we bought 6 new computers for the clinic and I had to install all the software, etc... Now I have taxes to do. Ugh!

I also have had to deal with two infections on my left boob. Really sucked!

I have not been active at all and really overdid the holidays. Thus I have gained 15 lbs. Yuck!

I've posted a picture of me I took a few seconds ago. What's really amazing is that in clothes you can't even really tell. Because of the mini tummy tuck I can gain 15lbs and not look it!

I am cleared to play golf and be more active this coming weekend. Hopefully, I'll lose all this new weight. I had an injury that my othropedic surgeon said would take nearly a year to heal and that I could not do any activity that aggravated it. So no golf since last year in May.

Thanks to all of you who were concerned for me. Again I apologize for not getting back to you guys sooner. I've been a little depressed over all of the above. Doing better now.

You give me hope! My stomach before MTT looks a bit like yours and am hoping for the flatter, firmer look in the abdomen. We are doing lipo of the flanks but it has been running in the back of my mind. You look great!

Unfortunately I have gained 13 lbs since my surgery. I haven't gained any weight on my lower stomach so at least I know the fat cells are gone from there! However, just as I suspected I gained weight in the upper tummy area where not much lipo was done and in my legs, arms, etc... It is amazing that you can gain weight and it takes over 10 lbs before its noticable. I have to start working out now I've procrastinated as long as I can. Hope everyone is doing well. I've been out of touch I had an enormous amout of clinic and computer upgrades to do while our offices were closed.

Oh not so hot. Two boob infections, covered up in work. No golf for the past year. Now hopefully things will soon get back to normal. Still covered up with work. Ugh! Thanks for checking on me. I've been depressed.

Thanks. Too bad I haven't really been taking care of myself. I do so love my tummy tuck though. Even with the weight gain I still look pretty good.

I finally have been cleared to play golf again. I've gained 15lbs since surgery. But with the right clothes its all hidden. Holidays and lack of exercise did me in. Damn! I'll check your blog out. Thanks for the compliment.

I've gained 5 lbs. but my tummy is still flat. I'm amazed that I can wear some of these dresses I couldn't before cuz they showed a slight bulge. Now I feel like I can wear anything!

You look great, love your results! I am getting a full TT but what is the difference in muscle repair???? Does the patient have specific and ask the dr for one??
November 1, 2013
Hello. The doc should know. .most of time it noticible. .your tummy sticks out in addition to the fat...you should ask your surgeon. Just in case.

If your muscles are loose your stomach protrudes out like your pregnant.  The ps will take the muscle and suture them in so that your stomach is not protruding out any more.  I didn't have that so it wasn't done.  But I've seen so many and they look awesome.  It seems to make the waist alot smaller.  I don't know if it really does, but it looks like it does.
