Best Decision I Ever Made!!

ORIGINAL POST

Utsw Resident clinic surgery

WORTH IT
I have been thinking about having a mommy makeover for the last two years. I am a nurse and had heard wonderful things about the resident clinic at UT Southwestern and decided to turn in my application and go for a consultation.
From the moment I had my consult I have been nothing but impressed. I Turned out to be a good candidate and was amazed that I could have the work done for almost half of the price that I had previous consults for.
Dr. Costa answered all of my countless questions and gave me much reassurance before my procedure.
My surgery was on Monday 5/21/18 and I am now day three postop. I spent one night at the hospital and the care was amazing. I was in my room by 3 PM and up walking a short distance by 5 PM they completely stayed on top of my pain and were so helpful with discharge instructions.
I was really worried about the car ride home but it was OK. I spent the first night in my bed with controlled pain on meds and the seconf night I’ve slept in a recliner. Day two, I felt extremely weak. But was still able to get up and walk around at least four times during the day.
Each day seems to be getting easier with the pain I’m still not able to get up by myself. My post op appointment will be on Friday and I am anxious to see some of my results as I have not yet taken off my binder or bra.
I will try md post before pictures later.

Perhaps you could email them. Gloria is the cord nadir. It took me a long while initially to get in but once I emailed my application it was very rapid. I was told they review applications once a week on Mondays. Here is her email. Gloria.Henry@UTSouthwestern.edu

I am not sure About weight stipulations. I am 5’6, and weigh 165. I kind of wondered if they would have me lose a little weight prior but they did not mention anything about it.
