U look great! I agree the swelling is the worse part!
Hot Momma!!!
Hello there! You're looking great. I'm fresh out of surgery with Dr Polavarapu ( still in recovery as we speak lol). My tummy tuck went well, I'm in little to no pain at all! (Hope I didn't jinx myself lol). Still waiting for Dr. P. to reveal my outcome. So glad I found her thanks to you. Good luck on your journey, I'll keep you posted on mine. :)
So glad everything went well. So happy for you, and thanks for sharing and keep us posted. May you have a speedy recovery. :)
TTlatina, I'd love to hear all about you consult! Do you have a review posted? What were you impressions of NYEE and Dr. Polavarapu ??
I send you a private message.
Congrats and welcome to the flat side so excited to know you went through with it..how's it going ..hope alls well..
Hi sweetie ! How are you and how is your tummy coming along ? My pre-op appt is on February 20 I am so excited !!!!
Hi Myriambn. I have a consult two days before you! When are you looking to schedule your surgery?
Lindzee36 I am already scheduled. Dr. P has been keeping in contact with me in reference to the surgery. Although there has been some changes I am ok with it. So she informed me I could only have one surgery, I chose the TT with lipo. He also confirmed the date for February 28, 2014. Good luck with your consultation. Dr. P is absolutely awesome, your going to love her !
Thanks! I want to do a tummy tuck as well. What kind of lipo are you getting? I'm hoping she can do some on my back (bra lines) and flanks. But I heard they don't always do the back in conjunction with the tummy. Just curious what she told you. tnks.Good luck to you!!
I originally wanted my back but she said she does upper abs which will help with the out look of the back and also flanks. She mention lipo in the top part of the vagina where seroma can form.
Honestly my biggest fear is dealing with an unwanted scar. I hope the scar placement looks great like some of the pics I've seen and that the belly button looks good as well. The lesser stretch marks the better. I know I am asking for too much. To tell you the truth I am feeling very confused with my decision. I feel like I am going to get what I pay for. I don't want that ! Uhhhh this is sooo difficult.
I know! There is so much to worry about... Obviously I haven't done it yet, so I can't comment on the tummy tuck scar, but I did have two c-sections. The last one was 3 1/2 years ago and both scars are so light you can barely see them. It looks like someone drew a thin, white line on my skin. Hopefully that is an indication of how a tummy tuck scar might heal. Do you have any other scars to compare? I think it all comes down to the doctor. If you trust her and her skills, you will do great! Did she have lots of before/ afters that looked good??
She had a lot if TT pics but not really of the scars. I have no scars on my belly. I am not worry too much of pain it's just the outcome. I do trust her but then again I just never know. I hope all goes well.
Myriambn I went yesterday and she told me the same thing about the lipo and the mons pubic area (upper part of the v) she already is a general surgeon not a fellow just in case. Now I'm just waiting for a sx date (took me 8hrs to return home w/ the storm)
Wow ! Well I'm going to do it with a faith in my outcome from God and from my Doc :) I'll be getting surgery on February 28. I wish I could bump into one if you girls over there the same day !
I will pray for a good outcome for all of us!
I think we all be fine with God on our side. Bumping into each other would be nice :)
Thank! We all need it!! Lol I will be praying over here too.
TTLatina when are you planning on getting the surgery ?
What is her fee for consultation? Also has any one traveled from another state to have tummy tuck done with this dr? Thanks
I wouldn't know about anyone traveling to get surgery done with Dr.P I do know that her consultations are free.
Myriambn ,I'm gonna call Monday to see if they give me a date (she had mentioned march) I will be traveling from Massachusetts.
That's awesome ! Good luck Hun. I have a scheduled date of February 28. However, I think I am going to have to push my date to march. My mom is going threw difficulty with her illness and she is about to begin a new treatment plan :( I now not sure If I will be doing the surgery anytime soon. My mom comes before anything, I am feeling so down these days. I just pray that all goes well.
Oh sorry to hear about your mom. Being there for her I think it's the right thing to do. You'll be blessed for doing the right thing. Good luck and keep us posted :)
Hi I'm doing well I am going to see if I can post new pics this weekend..Cool hope all goes well for you!
Hi Miriamb:) just realized your surgery is in a couple of weeks! You must be getting excited! My consult is next week. I am nervous and excited!!
Hi Myriambn, I have a consultation on February 20 wish you a well journey.
That's awesome sweetie ! I hope you get you surgery date soon ! Congrats and good luck !

Hi there

So everything has been progressing really well. I have days where I still swell and days where I am amazed on how flat I am. I still experience numbness at times but that is also decreasing. I wear my compression garment to bed most nights and during the day when I feel a swelling spell coming on. I will see the Doc this week for my 3,months check up and I will post pics soon. I haven't been updating much due to personal family matters etc. Not due to this procedure. I couldn't be happier with my results and choice of Doctor!
