WORTH IT$6,500

I lost weight 10 years ago, weighted 280 pounds. Lost down to 145, gained 60 back. Just lost 50 pounds, and figured it's about time I got the TT I have always wanted. I think it has all been what I expected. Can't stress enough about how moving your legs up and down it pulls at your stomach. My goal is to wear a shirt tucked in!

Day 7 PO, Went yesterday June 25, 2012 andIdrains taken out. Didn't hurt at all. It looks nothing like I was hopeing, a lot of loose skin still. But the Dr said it will tighten. He said it looked good. Sure hope he is right. He put me in a girdle garment, it's pretty tight. It takes some getting use to. I was in pain yesterday evening from it being so tight. But took a pain pill and it helped.

Took pics of how my stomach looks, sure hope it changes ALOT! I am not happy with it right now. But I am going to do everything the DR says. Hopefully others peoples stomach looked this way right after and theirs looks better now. Would love to hear from anyone and their opinions. I was able to get up a lot more today, not hurting as bad. But still taking pain pills about twice a day, sometimes 3 times.

Do your research - left with some pretty bad scars after tummy tuck

Denise and Dr Proffit had good bedside manner. I did a lot of research before having the procedure done even though I am very familiar with cosmetic surgery. I wanted to make sure I knew all the ups and downs and things to look for; I was very specific on what my expectations were and worst case scenario. Unf...
