My procedure is set ( TT, Umbilical Hernia Repair, MR) , I had to put down $2000.00 to hold my date. Now Im having second thoughts….1. Did I select the best PS?…..2. Did I ask enough questions ?3…….What will I look like? 4. What can I expect to look like?…5. Am I paying to much?..My pre-op is on 3/24/14. I can't wait, so that I can ask more questions!!!! Should I bring pictures of what I want to look like????? Ugggggh I'm driving myself bananas. I just want to look perfect. As I am spending a lot of money!!!!!! I mean his pictures on the site looked great. He has 15 plus years of experience. Plus he's published articles, and is cofounder of various procedure techniques. During my consult everything went well, I was confident in selecting him. Now I'm having all of these doubts and surgery is only a couple of days away……..

He is the most expensive in the area I went to 3 P'S and got ballpark prices from 2 more. Every one was around the same price except Platis ..... I chose Dr Robinson in Munster and has impressive credentials as well. Tummy tuck Breastlift Implants 12K

Drainless tummy tuck completed!!!

Nyquilday
1.Surgery 8 am
2.Doc called to make sure I was ok..he said everything went great! He's pleased!
3.Slight Pain when sitting/ standing but completely bearable
4.)4 hr scheduled meds..I'm on it.
5.) God is good!!!!! I prayed that God would bring me through surgery with no complications..and to cover me... to have a successful pain free recovery....and to be 100% + in love with my results. All glory to God!!!!! I feel fine.


Yesterday everything went great!!!! So the doctor says. He said he took off a lot of skin.... and that my muscles were separated quite a bit.. I won't see anything until friday, so I don't have pics.

The day before my procedure I was second guessing everything 1).is this worth spending this much money? 2.)Should I be concerned abt more serious things ?. I'm telling you I had a lot of questions swimming in my head. I tried to get everything done before the procedure, but I wasn't able to set my kids clothes out for the rest of the week. Hopefully I'll be able to this weekend, for next week. But my husband is great. I love him so much!

So going into surgery they tricked me and gave me the happy pill without warning. I didn't even know it was coming. All I remember is kissing my husband, and then trying to wake up. I woke up!!!!! ALL THANKS TO MY ALMIGHTY GOD. THE HEAD OF MY LIFE. THE SON OF GOD. PLEASE ACCEPT HIM IN YOUR LIFE? MY PROTECTOR, PROVIDER....AND SO MUCH MORE....My husband and mom have been great. I'm staying with my mom until Sunday. She has my room set up as a recovery sweet..recliner....spa music and everything.... I lovvvvvve it.... I'm so relaxed. She's on my side for everything. Not so much pain. Every thing is bearable. I have some pain when I sit and stand... you will need someone on the side of you. I had to go to the bathroom frequently when I got home. You will need help being lowered to the toilet/ and raised.

When I got to my mom's house... I did some dozing off for abt minutes. But I didn't completely go to sleep until abt 11:00pm...i wanted to stay up and talk. I dont get to spend time with mom and dad often.
I've had some draining from the lipo. Nothing too bad. It looks like watery blood. O and my procedure was drainless... so I don't have to worry about that.
