I found this site when I was researching tummy tucks. I can honestly say it is what gave me the courage to do this. I am a planner and knowing what to expect is important to me. Each and every story has been inspirational in some way. I know what to ask, what to have on hand and now know I have someplace to turn when it feels like no one else could possibly understand! I will prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Thank you Real Self and all the brave women who have gone before me!

Dr. Pandrangi is an extremely talented surgeon in the greater Cleveland area. His office offers the drainless tummy tuck. My experience with he and his staff was awesome from beginning to end. I knew ahead of time what to expect because he was very straight forth and honest with my husband and I. I would highly recommend him for a tummy tuck procedure!

Good for you! My TT/hip lipo surgery is 4/4 and I also felt like I couldn't do enough research and planning before I finally bit the bullet and booked my surgery. I think the most important thing is in choosing a reputable surgeon that you are comfortable with and who you communicate well with. After that, trying to be as healthy as you can for your surgery - but then the rest is a bit of an unknown ... I was wracking my brain worrying about whether I will have drains or not, if I do - for how long?, will I have a lot of swelling? Will I be able to sleep? Etc etc etc. I had to finally realize that i can't plan what is unknown - I just know the result I want and I know there will be some discomfort and inconvenience on the way there, but after the surgery, each day will be better than the one before until one day it's all better and my tummy is flat! By the way - I think you're going to look amazing - you look like you have a really good figure!

You are so right. The only thing I do know is I will not have drains. My surgeon does drainless. I know I can deal with the pain. It is the belly blues that I am worried about. At 44, I know this is the right thing for me. I plan to stay positive, for sure! I appreciate your support and kind comments. I will be keeping track of your journey to the flat side!

You don't need lipo on the rides on my opinion but a TT would be in order. You won't look completely flat because if the natural curve of your back but you'll love it over her on the flat side :))

Thank you Lisalicious. I feel like my back is so curve because it has always had to support my stomach and lack of muscles. I had big babies, but totally worth it. I am also hoping to have more of a waist. Never had curve in that area, just straight down. I know it won't be perfect, but hoping for better than now. :). Have a great weekend!

My sides got lipo too and it gave me the look of hips where there were none :-)

I found this sight while I was contemplating a facelift. Then when I talked to surgeon, I decided to get breast lift also. I had seen plenty of older women on here do stuff that looked worse than what i wanted so I did 2 procedures at once. :) This sight was great. Anything you want to know, you can find out. If you post pics, you can see yourself transform and you will want others to see the new improved youi!

Oh sweet girl, JUST DO IT, I'm 51, started with a breast reduction (seriously saggy overisized TATA's), then 4 months later did the TT/MR...BEAT decisions of my life! Do it and don't look back. It's life changing, as far as I'm concerned. Best wishes and keep us posted :-DSusy

. . . and the nightmares begin!

tummygoneMarch 20, 2014

Had my first TT dream last night. Loved the results, but was hardly in pain at all. Then I realized he didn't repair my muscles. My stomach began to grow again right before my eyes. All I could think of was that I paid all this money for nothing. I have another consult in April. I will definitely be confirming that he IS going to repair my muscles!

Just had mine done 17 days ago and can honestly say this is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I know my healing still has a way to go but I really am feeling great and love not having my ugly belly anymore. You will have weird dreams and want to back out of it hundrerds of times but just keep moving forward and you'll be great. If you hate your belly as bad as I did trust me it'll be so worth it.

I do hate my stomach and I have a feeling I will realize that even more once it is gone! Thank you for the encouragement. I know I am making the right decision!! Happy healing!

Westlake, University Hospitals, Dr. Pandrangi. Who did yours?

I went to Akron Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Parker. I love UH though. Most of my other docs are through them.

Second Consult and I Am Ready To Go!!

tummygoneApril 17, 2014

I am getting closer to my surgery date. I met again with my PS today and he is simply awesome. I know that I will probably have a small vertical scar. Very thankful for the heads up on that. Also, muscle repair will be determined once he sees what is underneath. I am hoping to have it because I feel my stomach has been stretched to the max and I don' t want to worry about "sucking" it in after this procedure. I told him about this website. Hope he checks it out as I hope to post all the great things that are about to happen!!
