SWELLING- Need I Say More?

Ughhh! It's been 3 months and I still have that minor swelling thing going on and at this point it's truly annoying. Also a weird thing my lower ab in the middle above the pubic area feels really hard. Haven't mentioned it to Dr. Celestin figuring it may just be due to swelling, that would eventually go down/away? On the bright side of things I have started back exercising about two weeks ago. I've been weighing myself consistently since my tt and I'm down another five pounds as of last month and feel amazing. My scar is healing very nice I like it. Even through the swelling I have to admit that this was indeed well worth it. Some days though I feel like I wished I'd gotten work done to my thighs too ... oh well too late now, to the gym it isl!

Hi Biee, Lennox Hill's Clinic (also known as the teaching part of Lennox Hills Hospital) affords Fellow and Resident Doctors the opportunity to further their skills through a 1year teaching program. Once the term has ended the Doctors move on elsewhere and new 'Fellows and Residents' are selected in their place. It's an ongoing cycle. Because it's set up this way patients are able to have select procedures at a discounted rate. Prior to scheduling your consult do as much research as possible on the procedure(s) you're interested in, writing down ALL concerns and QUESTIONS (there are no stupid questions, ask them all!). Understand that when you call to schedule your consult with Lennox Hill Hospital's Clinic, the PS may or may not have a personal website so I would suggest asking how you can learn more about that particular surgeon. After your findings, if you feel comfortable with this doctor and decide to go through with the consult ask to see pics of previous work etc and move forwards from there. I hope this helps and I'm sincerely wishing you the best anyway I can be of help during your journey, please do not hesitate to reach out. :)

I spoke with Dr. Celestin on your behalf and will message you. Do you have Dr Constantine's first name? Google to see if he has a website. Yeah I hear you if you are uncomfortable then don't go with him. Keep searching there are other teaching hospitals here in ny I believe there is one in Harlem. Dr. Teharani was my pick prior to Celestin but his fee was almost 7,000 more I had the money but didn't see the sense in spending it when I had the opportunity to get what I desired done for less. Not to mention I was able to stay overnight in the hospital. I was told Dr Tehrani normally sends you home some time after the procedure is done. So that plus the money were key factors for me choosing Celestin. No worries it will work out. :)

oh lovely then, looking forward to your message. will love for her to to do it because i see that she can handle my case. in any case, the search is still on. i didn't get a first name. after i was told he had no reviews, i lost interest, i don't want my case to be an experiment for him. too risky. lol. btw Dr tehrani? why so expensive? is he like a guru in tummy tuck or what? there has to be some explanation to it. anyway, thanks again and do keep me posted on Dr Celestine. cheers

Dr. Tehrani is well-experienced in his craft and given to my research I felt that he was the perfect fit for me. He works out of hospitals but has his own practice and beautiful facility. Ultimately Celestin won me over but I am a fan of Tehrani. And would also recommend him and his services I really like him and his staff. I don't blame you at all regarding this new Doctor. Keep the search going til you find the right one.

Hey, It's been a long time since you've posted but I'm wondering how are you feeling and what are your results now that your getting closer to the year mark. I to almost had my surgery done with the same DR. at Lennox Hill but things came up and I just couldn't get it done. Judging from your last pictures your surgery came out well. I hope I can get great results as you got. Anyway, I hope all is well and my comment get;s to you soon :-)

Hey ladies, hope everyone is well and in the best of spirit. Haven't been on for a while but there wasn't much going on to post about. Most of the swelling has gone down and I continue to feel amazing with each day. I added a few more pics today. Dr told me I wasn't going to be completely flat prior to the surgery because of the shape of my body, and I'm okay with that. I have to say, I'm coming along nicely and still feel like I've made a great decision. Wishing all of you that are going in for your surgery soon a safe experience. And to those already on the flat side a healthy and speedy recovery. :)
