Sooo glad you posted updated pics. I was thinking about you. I have been following your moms progress as well! You both have amazing results! CONGRATS! How has recovery been for you?

Pretty good recovery. I returned to work this week. I am exhausted, but making it okay. I am a surgery nurse so my job requires lots of lifting.

Hi Dixie ,
I was researching tummy tucks and came across yours I live in San Antonio and down here the price of a tummy tuck is 6-19k I was just wondering if your price included everything ? Also did you have any lipo done as well ?

Yes the price was all inclusive. I did not have any lipo, but my mom did and her price was $5200.00. I think for a full 4500ml of fat suctioned he charges $2,200.00. The surgery is done in his office where he has a surgical suite and CRNA.

10 days post op and still have one drain in place, hopefully will get it out tomorrow. Stitches are supposed to come out Wednesday. My physician and his nurse are so great; they are so encouraging.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you to get that last drain out tomorrow.

You are looking good too. What an adventure. My incision is so itchy. I am tired of these sponge baths.

Hi DixieTexas!

You look wonderful!  What a difference in that tummy.  As the weeks pass you will notice more and more shape take place as the swelling goes down. 

Keep us up to date on your healing and new pictures :)
