My motivation was to lose my flap. Lol. After giving birth to my second child, I decided to improve my overall appearance. My surgery went great! Although, I suffered from extreme anxiety (pre and post). I did encounter minor complications but I'm recovering slowly but surely. I'm looking forward to my flatter and define tummy.

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

You look great! Do you mind me asking your pre surgery stats? Your build looks very much like mine and I'm trying to visualize my results ( surgery in one week!)
TIA :)

Makes this all worth while seeing Fab results.
How did you feel psychologically afterwards? Were you immediately happy or did it take time?

Psychologically, not well. A lot of ups and downs. Some second guessing and a lot of anxiety. Its still taking it course.
