Well, I've finally decided to have a tummy tuck! I'm in the research stage right now. I will be traveling to FL for my procedure (live in u.s.) and was wondering if you have any suggestions for great Drs or equally valuable advice on Drs to stay away from. Thank you in advance. I will post before pics when I get a date.

Hey Ladies, I'm booked! Just scheduled my surgery for June 29 with the master, Dr. Ortega at Spectrum. I am a 53 yr old mom of 4 with the stomach to prove it. This will be an emotional journey but I have found wonderful support on this site. Will keep you up to date on my journey!

Hi all,
29 days til surgery! My surgery is scheduled for June 29th. I can't wait. I'm definitely nervous and have had some pretty weird dreams so for now, I try not to think about it. When the day gets closer, I'll probably be a mess, but I am not turning back. This procedure is long overdue. I workout regularly and could do stomach exercises til the cows come home and never have a flat stomach. Four kids later, it's time!! Support, words of wisdom, advice, I'm open to it all. Thanks in advance!
