WORTH IT$6,500

I am planning to get a full tummy tuck this thursday. I am very happy about my decision and looking forward to getting this surgery over with ! I am a 28 year old mother of one son.
I am so lucky since I work at a hospital, I am able to pay only half upfront and the rest is payroll deduction !! yay!!


I gained a lot of weight with my pregnancy and have many gross stretch marks, I am 5'8 and weigh 163. Doing this is something I have dreamed about for years. I had a breast augmentation when I was 20 and was very pleased with the result. Now having my stomach done I am looking forward to being able to wear a bikini this summer :) My only regret so far is that I did not lose more weight before, but I have been at this stable weight for several years. I have already filled my meds, rented my recliner ( its a power one) have a friend to come stay and help me for a few days, Now I just need to live with the anxiety of waiting for the days to creep by... can I just hop on the table already and get this over with ....

HI Katie, i just did my tummy tuck last friday...no regrets. I'm not in as much pain as i thought i would be. Just some discomfort and now that i'm healing, lots of itching on my stomach. I'm starting to get heartburn now when i eat but a glass of milk helps alot. Don't try to bend or overdo yourself, take the meds before the pain gets strong or you will regret it but after a few days, cut down on the use of the pain killer...for your own good. Get lots of rest and do your 20 minute walks every 2 hours, they really help especially with the backaches you're going to get. And if the doctor's office offers the massages, take them they really help with the swelling. best of luck, i'm so looking forward to my new look...
