I am 34 years old with two children ages 2 and 4. I am 5'3 and 120 pounds. Unfortunatly I got a diastasis recti with my second child. This is my main reason for going through with surgery. The diastasis makes me bloat and feel full very easily. I do not feel comfortable wearing dresses anymore. I had two consultations, one in Vermont where I live and one with Dr. Hochstein in Miami. For many reasons, I did not feel comfortable with the surgeon in Vermont. I feel more comfortable going to someone that does this procedure more often. Dr. Hochstein office was clean, his staff was very friendly. Though he is very busy he made me feel like I was the only patient in his office during our visit. He was well mannered and answered all of my husband and I's questions. I am currently scheduled for a tummy tuck with muscle repair on 10/11/16. I am contemplating adding on a breast augmentation. According to Victoria secret I am a 32C, however I feel I am more of a large B. I know this is going to be an exciting and long journey! Reading the stories and seeing pictures on this website have been a blessing and a curse. I am pretty nervous for the recovery and any possible complications. I want a "nice" scar, I don't want dog ears, I want a nice belly button without any scaring, I don't want swell hell. All probably to much to ask for :) In the next 6 months I plan to get in better shape to hope for a faster recovery. Six months to go and counting down the days!

Awesome! I had my procedures one year ago with Dr H, it hasn't been easy, I didn't really heal how I expected but I don't regret it at all! You are going to love it, just read alot and educate yourself so you know what you are going to have to handle, any questions or anything I can help let me know :)
