So...I'm in the process of preparing for my procedures. I have 15 & 16 year old and I am tired of looking at this stomach with rolls that refuses to go anywhere. I am looking to have the surgery towards the end of February. I am going to Seductions in the Miami area. Dr. Michael Rodriguez is the doctor performing the procedure. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I do plan on staying at a recovery house while there...Beautifil Body Inc. I want to be as prepared as possible so I would like to get some help with preparing for this surgery. Like wht do I need to bring as far as soaps, clothes. Wht will make this process as smooth as possible. I was planning on staying at the recovery house for 10 days. Is that necessary? Where did you get your garments from? Did you buy from the facility that did your procedure or did you purchase from elsewhere?

Welcome to the community, I hope you find lots of support here. If you have a partner, how do they feel about your choice to go through with this procedure? How are they supporting you? Here's some information that will help you prepare for your journey: Tummy Tuck Survival: A Real Life Guide

Hi Eva thanks for the welcome. My bf says I don't need a tummy tuck but I tell him I'm not getting it for him. I'm getting it bc I want it and want to be happy w me pre babies. He's supportive however.

The tummy tuck and lipo itself is $3900 but I'm factoring in all cost when I quoted that price

Hello I am 3 days post op TT from Dr. Michael Rodriguez and I'm staying in their recovery house. I paid for 7 nights 8 days which was $1500 and to me it's well worth it. The staff is very caring and catering. You will have a driver for all your appointments. They also have a room for you to get your necessary massages at the house. They have pretty much everything you will need from robes, towels, soap etc. I do wish I had brought some laxatives because it was hard getting the first poop out. You're probably not going to be able to shower until a week or more depending on your drainage. Their are a lot of recovery homes in the area. I actually found them on IG. I'm very happy with my decision and it wasn't as painful as I prepared myself for. I'very actually stopped the pain medication as of last night. Good luck with your decision.

I kept mine in 12 days, could have taken them out on day 10 but wanted someone else to do it for me lol.

I booked my recovery house with Beautiful Body Inc. Yane was very informative and helpful. I'm hoping I enjoy my stay and everything works out perfect without any problems. My total cost is $1200 and that includes 8 days all inclusive covering transportation, meals and round the clock care, plus 5 lymphatic massages. My boyfriend is giving me the money to pay the remainder balance for my surgery. I just need to pay for my return seats on the plane right in front and pay for checked bags And I'm all set for February...i can't believe this is actually happening #blessed

My surgery date is locked in for February 22nd. I'm excited and just a tad bit nervous. I know I need to get my but in the gym to work out before surgery, but I'm being a lazy person right now.
