Sooooooo, I take care of people innately as well...

Sooooooo, I take care of people innately as well as for a living. I am a health professional (I only treat women for a living and I will leave it at that). Well it's now time to take care of me. I have one kid via C-section and the scar/scar tissue to prove it. Not sure if I can or will have more kids in the far far future which is why I am staying away from a mini TT for now because that would really be a waste of $$. SO i opted for a BBL. Never had much hips/but but I guess those things got even smaller after my belly got bigger lol. So i told Dr. Okoro that I wanted BBL he said he could do it and I would be flat but not super flat aka perfect. And that I would have some loose skin and in order to prevent this, I would need a mini TT. So there were two problems with that. 1. Way more $ for TT and BBL and 2. After BBL u can't sleep on but and sleeping on belly after a TT I KNOW will be gruesome. They say TT is 10x worse than C section and when I had mine a few years ago, there is NO WAY i could've slept on belly, way to uncomfortable. So KUDOS to the women that are beasts enough to endure these procedures simultaneously. Okay so what i'm saying is as long as i'm flat, I don't mind loose skin, again AS LONG AS I AM FLAT!!! I reemphasized that because I have seen some women after lipo that look the same as when they started and this really scares me. So I haven't heard any bad reviews for Dr. Okoro, felt really great at consultation and he has great pics so I am trusting him to snatch this body. I am new to all of this and would love any suggestions or advice especially from any of his prior patients. I will be getting upper/lower abs, pubis, flanks/bra rolls lipo and fat into hips and but. Not crazy bit but much bigger than wha I have now!!!

Hi I'm sure you'll be pleased. I wanted just lipo at first, but after going to about 8 drs they all said the only way to get flat would be to fix my muscles. I looked about 9 months preggers. So when the time was right I chose Dr. Okoro. I love his results. It's been almost 4 weeks since my TT.

Girl i just looked at your pics! u didn't look 9 months preggers! lol we are are worst critics! Thought ab mini TT but just can't risk it b/c I'm too young to count another baby out my future and a TT would be a complete waste for that reason alone. Hopefully he can make me flat! don't mind a lil loose skin. Thanks for comment!

Thank you! I'm still super swollen. It's crazy to be smaller yet so dang swollen. I had a friend that got a tummy tuck and had a kid like 3-4 years later. I would have been crushed. I didn't have loose skin so he worked with me.

So I've done all the bloodwork and had my pre op appt today. No turning back! Surgery paid in full and I have to say any concerns/ questions I've had, Dr. Okoro and his staff have answered/addressed so far. I feel confident he will do a good job and he just gives me this real safe/cool/professional/insanely smart vibe and thats what speaks to my gut, literally! Surgery on Tuesday May 3! Excited/ Nervous. Stay tuned.

May 3rd will be here before you know it! I am excited for you, you are in good hands! I'm six weeks post op today and had my 1 month follow up yesterday. I can't believe it's been that long already. You will wake up and think it's May 3rd already...lol
April 30, 2016

Quick question, did you buy an additional garments/ ab boards etc? I know the office gives 2 garments. Just trying to figure out what else I need to get, if anything else.
April 30, 2016
Wow! I didn't buy any additional ab boards. They gave me lipo foam for my sides. I didn't get my compression garment until day 7. They really give you a lot. I never leaked any fluid, not one drop. I was shocked. It won't be long. I was the afternoon case. My first 3 days are kind of a blur. I went home day after surgery, 4 hour car ride.

The first medical assistant said I measured an XL, had me try it on, and said I needed a L but they didn't have any in stock. She measured me wrong I believe. Well when I went in for my first smoothshape appt day 7, the technician asked had I been wearing it. I explained they said I measured an XL but I needed a L. Well she looked at me and was like an XL or L, what are they thinking you need a M. Week 2 I went into the Stage 2 size S...lol Week 4 they tried to give me an XS I was scared but got it anyway at week 5.
Thanks for starting a review- please keep us posted on your journey. I hope you add before pics soon!
