I had a tt & Lipo with dr Saunders 9 years ago at 25 years old after 2 pregnancy's (csections), lots of stretch marks, loose horrible skin-- I didn't expect to have more children but I just had baby #3 yesterday via C-section - I am compelled to write a review because DAMN did he do a good job - I am swollen, bloated, but my belly stayed tiny the entire time my OBGYN during the surgery said "wow your TT Dr did a great job" as she was trying to get through his work - this is 16 hours after my C-section

Hi all! everything has been going well.. not In anymore pain.. except when I sneeze lol my stomach feels so tight everyday, I am so happy!!!! I still have 1 drain hole that is not 100% closed but has def closed a lot more compared to the last pics I posted.. my scar is very red in areas where the stiches had a hard time absorbing but the rest of the scar is thin and nice, I am assuming those red areas will eventually catch up... heres some updated pics I just took

hello! thank you!! it wasn't SSSOOOO bad, but it wasn't very comfortable either.. if ppl at work know you are having a TT it will be much easier, if they do not know and you want to keep it a secret then make sure u practice walking straight for at least 5 days before you go back to work. I had my drains out only 2 days before returning back to work so I was still very sore in those areas, if you have your drains out sooner it will help.. also make sure you bring some extra strength Tylenol or Aleve to work just to ease the pain a little.. the second week being back at work was def much easier and this week is a piece of cake.. 4 weeks po I feel completely fine

Okay sounds good. They all know I'm getting a TT :) we are like family at my job and I couldn't keep such an exciting and crazy event in my life like a TT a secret from them. I also wear scrubs for my job, so at least I get to wear comfy clothes when I go back.
