ORIGINAL POST

Hi, I am very excited and nervous about my tummy...

Hi, I am very excited and nervous about my tummy tuck scheduled for December. Has anyone had a tummy tuck done by Dr. W Perry in Miami, Fl. Hoping for the best so I can wear fitted dresses. After two C-sections and some weight loss, I have been counting down the days. The bad part is that I have been looking at all these botched tummy tuck photos and it is driving me insane. I am praying that I don't experience that. Can't wait to get to the flat side : )

Best of luck ladies!

Welcome to RS! I love your name btw! Choose to be at peace as well dear. You can not control the outcome but you can control your attitude and joy. You are in the hands of a very capable Dr. and you have my prayer and the love of yourself to shield you through. God bless boo!

Thanks! Such a scary process...but it will be all worth it if I can wear fitted dresses with out the protrusion or hang.

I'm in my second day post op and feeling pretty good! If they offer a pain pump. That is my only advice as of now! It seems to be working great and my pain level has been no more than three! I look worse than I feel! As long as you trust your dr expertise then your in good hands! This is not a shop around for the best deal thing, this is a "I feel more comfortable with this doctor" kinda thing! Can't wait to wear right dressed too!!! Of and low rise jeans ;)

I sure do hope I get a pain pump. Happy healing to you!

Heading to the Office for the consultation

I will be heading for my 2nd consultation tomorrow. This seems so surreal that I am even going through the process. I have butterflies but am really excited to see a flat stomach. I have a huge list of questions for the doctor....although I have already asked him plenty. Are there any suggestions from you ladies?

You may want to ask about a new drug I think it's called exaparel it's suppose to numb for 3 days after surgery to get you over the hump- my doctor offers it and it's additional charge of 400.00 -- the more my date is getting near I think I may drop the money to get it ? I'll let you know since it seems I'm going before you to the flat side :)

Sounds nice. I will ask. Best of sexy to you!

Consultation

Choosingme
I have done more research than any of the papers I have ever written for my graduate degree. Well, I am so ready to move forward and I wish my surgery was tomorrow so I could get over the nervousness. It seems so surreal that I am even doing this but I want it so bad.

My second consultation went pretty well. He spent a lot of time with me, answered all my questions and when I couldn't stomach another picture of the surgery he showed me another. Lol, I do agree with some of his other patients on here that he is very,very personable. He was calm (helps with my nervousness) and reviewed my CAT scan to show me the separation. I didn't feel like he was selling me a dream but more telling me the reality. His lipo work is amazing. I am having lipo just on the waist. The other doctors I spoke with did lipo but did not accomplish the curve affect that I am looking for. Dr. P's lipo pictures look like perfectly sculpted models..........wow. I still have the jitters but he does bring me to a certain level of comfort when speaking to him.

My biggest fears: Wound separation, serious infection, PE and no follow up care.
My support: My wonderful husband who has been there for every step, tear and worry. My cousins who will be in town for most of my recovery.
My concern: Missing my kids for ten days.
My dream: To wear my fitted dress and show my curves.

I am an active duty spouse and my husband is expecting to return from deployment in 8 days. I can't wait to hug him and thank him for his continued support although so far away. He demanded to be there with me for the surgery. I had originally planned to do it with my cousins but he insisted.

Going through with this takes a lot of mental courage and I am still developing it. I better hurry up because my surgery is RIGHT around the corner.

Stay blessed Ladies!

November 17, 2013
I am NOT ready mentally (lol)...but physically yes. I will keep you updated.
November 17, 2013
you better be ready baby cos you are going to be hot like mad! i worked my mind to accept that this is a necessity rather than a anything else haters might want to call it. lord knows our innermost thoughts and he sees our heart. so he will definitely see us through. Go under with a relaxed mind hon. i have had 3 c sections and im so ready for this!
November 17, 2013
BIEE you are so encouraging. I've had two c sections so I should be ready...should. Lol
November 17, 2013
are you going out of town for your surgery? i ask because i see that you will be leaving your kids for 10 days. i had initially planned on leaving my kids but for 4 weeks????? i had to drag them all along!
November 17, 2013
Yes, I am. He is 1 hour and 15 minutes away (flying). My husband will be with me the first 4 days of surgery and my cousin will be there the last 3. Man, I wish my husband could stay the whole time but I have two little children that need care so I don't want to drag them along and mess up their schedules.
November 17, 2013
oh, sound good.my kids will be on holiday so it works out perfect for me. best of luck girl

Don't be nervous bcz u are in great hands. Dr. Perry did my TT on Monday and his bed-side manner is an A+++++ plus he make me feel so comfortable that all my fears went thru the window, especially the before surgery.
