Hi, after months of deciding to have tummy tuck I finally find a doctor and I will be scheduled for a full TT w/ MR and Lipo on Jan 23,2012.
The doctor is very nice and mostly answers all my questions. Well, a little background of myself, 4'11, 120 lbs age is 49 years old, had the hysterectomy 2 years agoUpdated on 1 Nov 2011:11/1/2011--Finally my boss okayed my vacation for my upcoming tummy tuck for 3 weeks, I called the nurse and finally set up that surgery on january 23 or on the 24th..I can't believe it, I'll go through with this. The nurse ordered me my physical check up and turn in the paperworks for that physical check up on Dec 19 and will give the $500 deposit...Yeheyy I'm gonna be doing this.Updated on 21 Dec 2011:My pre op was yesterday, i paid the downpayment and me and doctor and nurse talked a lot about my concerns, i turn in my lab work, my ekg, and i have a little problem i'm prediabetic and also i have a high blood pressure, currently i'm taking medications for high blood pressure and the doctor wants me to have the stress test for my heart, well i think the surgery will still go on, dr took gross pics of my tummy today.Updated on 21 Dec 2011:And by the way the doctor said i gonna have a drainless surgery..
