WORTH IT$8,500
Well finally set surgery date, cant believe it, im nervous and excited all at the same time. I need to start writing list of what i need and trying to make sure to eat healthier in preparation for my surgery.
Little background info: i am 5 ft7, weigh 170, 1 child via c-section.. need i say more, i am okay with the weight cause of the curves but absolutely not happy with the kangaroo pouch. my clothes fit nicely but i wanna wear a 2 piece without a tee shirt. every summer i buy a new bikini and cant rock it confidently. i have been contemplating on doing surgey for sometime, now nerves and money are up and i am ready. Its a lot to take in, have support of my mom and close friends who know so this makes me feel at ease. i like that i found this site and i am continually recieving inspiration in reading all of the stories makes me feel good knowing that there are so many other women like myself on the same journey. Wishing all happy recoveries and i welcome the support!!!

i am having weird dreams about my surgery, this older guy at my job was my surgeon, lol, he was in my house and kept following me around, asking if i was alright, lol, is this normal?...i am about to request a mri or ultrasound on my right leg cause it swells sometimes for reasons unknown and i am concerned about blood clots..have never had one in my life and i am healthy, non smoker and no previous medical issues however it is the hypochondriac in me. I know my doctor is going to be looking at me like im crazy but i don't care.lol..my nerves are bad..im ready to take one of these pics down i hate looking at myself bending over but it is also motivation.lol

Congrats and good luck with your surgery, please keep us posted. Where are you having your TT done at? I'm having mines done at NYEE!!!
March 31, 2012
congrats on your decision! i am in florida and found a great PS who recently did my breast augmentation and I just love the results and my PS. I am having same day at surg center and am nervous about that. I am obsessing about this every day and am schd for april 13. My family is totally against it but they dont have to carry around the pooch everyday! its like a small baby on my lap! YUCK! keep us posted on your tt and recovery--it sure helps to hear others like myself!
April 1, 2012
congrats scaredycatflorida, it is so obsessive but i know it will be totally worth and we'll be so happy, try not to focus on any negativity, actually only 3 people know, i cant tell anymore ppl not even my sisters..not sure how my co-workers will react to me being off of work and no explanation, i hate to lie but it is no ones business..im doing this for me and i dont want any unsolicited advice from them..thats why i am on this site because everyone is on the same page and supportive, next month we should be on cloud 9 minus the pouch and pooch..lol..good luck with everything u have 12 more days to go..did u have your pre-op yet?
April 1, 2012
I'm not even telling my co-workers; I've decided to call after surgery to let them know I've had surgery and will be back once cleared by my physician. Good luck!
April 3, 2012
had my pre op same day as final consult. been there before so it was easy! not telling family at all except my cousin who isnt fond of the idea but is supportive--she will be my night nurse for a few days so it is good there. My thought is the same--not their business! I am sick and tired of this pooch and cant wait til its gone. I get a new lease on life and am excited. now for the waiting......not easy! from your pics we seem to have almost the same figure--cant wait for us to look bathing suit ready! Im following all the advice here and sticking with you ladies--we know what we are doing--to heck with the rest! begining the preparations for recovery time--rented the electric recliner--one button for lay back to recline position and the other to sit up at any angle and push up to standing. no work on sore belly!
April 4, 2012
omg i feel stressed out i need a note and i have one from the ps but it is on his letterhead, i need to get another note minus the letterhead, i mean of all the things to stress about the note is the last thing i should have to worry about...nosy ppl thats all..im going to call the office back tomorrow and see what they say..i see ur preparing, good for u, i think i will do a massage prior to surgery as well for relaxation..today wasnt a good day, i will feel better with my note..wish me luck..
April 1, 2012
@ Scaredtcatflorida, Ikr! I sleep best on my side but hate that pooch laying on the bed in front of me. No separation disorders for me; 4-weeks and counting!!!! Good luck!
April 3, 2012
Thanks for all the support--boy I do appreciate it! i told the massage therapist today what I was planning ( a gift from a friend--just in time) and she was thrilled for me and so positive. That was a first! keep the good vibes coming and I will do the same. You ladies are great!

Hi two piece soon,
Congrads on your decision, I was wondering who was the PS you found in NY. I am considering going to see Dr.Salama in FL. his work looks great. I did find one PS in NY except Dr. Yager that had nice work work and his prices are fair. Well I hope all works out well for you!!!!!

Hi Relax,
I live in new York and I was looking on the Internet for a PS too but doesn't it seem like they do a bad job or is it just me? Especially the long island ones. Anyways, I looked at dr salamas work but I've decided to go with dr. Azurin. I'm getting a mommy makeover but his pictures look awesome. Not many ps can do the tt, ba, lipo, and bb

@ Eliani
Dr. Azurin was my first choice but after seeing reviews on Dr.Salama and he was a couple of thousand cheaperI considered Dr.S as a first choice. Its not just you, its a bad job..lolbut Dr. Yager in Washington Heights is great and his price is just right too. Good luck with Dr Azurin, he really is great. When is your surgery?

I won't see him till June 18 for my ba consultation then I'm off to surgery the next day. I'm still undecided if I'll go through with it. Is it bad that I haven't physically stepped into a ps's office first? Im not sure if I'm going about it the right way. I'm getting everything done for 14,300 not including my 1 month stay in a rental house.
By the way, is that you in the picture? If so, what are you trying to get done. You look perfect!

Lmao!! No that's not me, thats what I'm going to Florida for for!! I was looking into a bbl and tummy uck and I used that picture as a example of what I would like my results to be like instead of looking like a hip hop poster model. I went to Dr. Jeffery Yager, you should check him out. He may save you some money, he's in my top 3
April 7, 2012
OH!!! SOrry! lol That is a awesome body!!! I was reading in here somewhere what people are saying about getting a TT and BBL together. I dont think its suggested since you need to be sitting down for the TT and the fat graft will not turn out well. My PS said I could get everything done. I need to start my own review. Maybe Ill get some better insight besides my own. Ive been researching for about 2 years. so image how many pics Ive looked at online. And not one office visit. I lookeded up Dr. Yager. But not convinced yet. The boobs look good but TT dont look good enough for me.

SCANDALOUS!! Look what I found!!!!! New york observer: 1997 on DR Jeffrey Yager
"The report further outlines how Dr. Brady and his co-chief resident, Dr. Jeffrey Yager, performed between three dozen and 100 unauthorized surgeries in the offices of senior physicians, who, according to the report, had many opportunities to stop the practice.ot that Dr. Brady and Dr. Yager don’t deserve to be punished. The Health Department’s Office of Professional Medical Conduct has voted to strip them of their medical licenses, The Observer has learned; the Drug Enforcement Agency is now investigating the diversion of controlled substances-Valium in the case of the liposuction patient; and the Internal Revenue Service may investigate whether the cash the residents collected was reported"

Lol..i know , i looked up his medical license and mal practice cases. DR.Yager doesn't have any mal practice case and that situation happen in 1995, he had to pay a 25k fine, he's good . If i don't go to Florida i will go to him for TT
April 7, 2012
lol, I felt the same way about the tt from Dr,Y but compared to the rest of the doctors in NY, I couldn't find anyone else that was better for what I was looking for. . His tummy tucks don't look that bad but I know what you mean, but his office was packed when I went!!!!!
April 9, 2012
Hey NY! Ok, we have 20 days left. I think I've purchased most of what I need. I'm renting a 3-position recliner for the first week. My pre-op appt. is the 16th. I need to inquire about the gauze, tape and silicone strips. I don't want the gauze to stick to my incision, nor the tape to stick to my skin too much for easy removal or tugging. I need to know if I should use the same strips I used for my foot. They (Mepiform) worked great though a bit expensive; but what's a few more dollars, right??? Lol!
