Best thing I ever did. Go see Dr Epstein in Northbrook for consult

So you were happy with your tt from Dr. Epstein? Who else in the chicagoland area did you consider? How did you go about finding your doctor?
December 12, 2014
LOVE him and his staff! I considered Sweiss and Geldnor too but Epstein came with strong recommendation. My friend is in pharmaceutical industry and knows many docs plus had work done too. You won't be disappointed plus his facility is very nice. Where do you live?

I am happy that that you are here with us doing your research.  Continue to have consultations until you are 100% sure of the doctor.  You need to click with and have total confidence with this doctor.  Let me know if you need help with anything.

So i had my 2nd consultation and paid my surgery date fee or whatever they call it. ...My day/date is 1/7/15....less than a month away. ....in the 2nd consultation i was so emotional. ... i pray he doesn't think I'm crazy I'm just so oooooo worried. I don't want an ugly scar. ..i don't want a wrinkled scar. ...i want it to close good and look well but i want the scar low. .... I've have read horror stories and my fear antenna is UP...... i wanna be flat and not fat...these surgeries are costly and i want it to go well. ...What are some reasonable things i will need to do b4 and after surgery? I want to know all the things people are afraid to share. ...like i read 1 girl day you can't sleep in your bed??? You can't scratch your feet?
Can u wash your coota???

No shower for 4 days or so. Will have a scar but fades over a year or two. Also swelling goes down after a couple months but true final result is not until a year. I look totally different after 7 weeks (today) but still swollen and not end result. Must be patient and keep realistic expectations. My process has been fantastic. Plus doc didn't use drains which was great.

Last appointment b4 the surgery

Mystique GreenBerry
I arrived with my pen and paper to write everything ...I am still scared. I received all the pills all the prescriptions and I was sure to print out all the things kimmie said via 12 things before n after TT n Lipo. I went shopping got oil, Milk of magnesia,I took kimmie advice and ordered a full electrical hospital bed (only 185 a month) I ordered shower chair ($39 at Walmart) and toilet booster ($34)...bought soup, jello, water, ginger ale, and,y favorite Shakeology. From reading my Dr reviews he appears great in his field working with a great team but I wish he was more friendly like...but anywho pray for me:)
