update ........p.s I Love my new family ...you rock!!! ..
Hello everyone I have been wanting a tummy tuck...
I have been wanting a tummy tuck for 10 years. I am finally going to get one YEAH!!!!!
I was told for best results to try and slim down 10 pounds, dont know about 10 but I will try. I am 5"8 192 (at time of exam). I was 168 the last time I saw him in 2007 but I couldnt get my money together fast enough lol.
I am eating more healthy, take daily vitamins, and exercise daily.
I had a hernia repair surgery and the doctor claimed he would give me a new belly button but instead, this is what I got (No belly button and a botched surgery scar).
My pre-op is this up and coming Monday. I will keep you guys updated on my experience. Im so excited I cant wait.
The tummy tuck would have only been $7,000 plus dollars. I have been wanting it done for so many years I said if your going to do it, go all out.
So I added inner thigh lipo and lipo of my bulging bra line.
My total is now $12,400 plus dollars (Ill have more exact pricing on my next post. I just dont have the paper work in front of me now).

New Change in DOCTORS and Surgery Date.
Im getting a Tummy Tuck, lipo of flacks, lower back, and Brazilian but lift.
Change in Procedure and Doctor. I explain why below!
Now for the changes in my post
I was originally going to go to Doctor John Lindsey located in Metairie, La. with a total cost of $12,440 dollars.
I was online looking up how to prepare for surgery and stumbled across 2 reviews. 1 dated back from 2011 and the other February 2013.
Both patients complained about how their out comes were not like what they talked about in the office with the doctor and how they were extremely upset. They also wrote about their body now being disproportionate. One said the doctor Lindsey agreed to fix his mistakes but at her expense, so basically she would have to pay for another procedure twice.
I also based my decision on the fact that I love my curves. I found a doctor who was able to do my procedure but kept the curves in my waist and butt. I went with Doctor Calvin E. Williams of Surgitrim .
He specializes in helping you keep your curves along with maintaining weight lost. They also set me up with my own online account with My Touch MD so that I can go online to my own personal account and look at all my pics I took before and after surgery.
I was much more comfortable and felt I would be happier with my results.
I will keep you guys posted on my journey and belly button repair (since I dont have one).
I will post as many pics and updates as I can to better help those who are seeking to get the procedure done. Since I love to do research and read other people's experience to better understand and help myself, I know this is much needed. I know how it is not find the information your looking for and how frustrating it is when people dont post updates or updated pics. I will try my best to not be that person lol.
Thank you guys for reading and sharing my experience.
