I have been researching options for a cosmetic procedure to help with the excess skin and belly fat that I have, and I made the decision 2 months ago to have a tummy tuck and lipo of my hips. I am really excited to have this done and I really hope that I am pleased with the long term results. I have read reviews, and have talked to two women I know who have had this procedure (one in 2015 and one 9 weeks ago).
I am a little nervous about going under and about the pain in recovery, but I am very healthy and in good shape, so I hope this helps with my recovery. I am posting pics taken tonight by my loving husband. I look forward to sharing this journey with you. I go in the day after tomorrow!

Feeling pretty good. I'll post photos in a few days. Thrilled that I only have one drain. Ecstatic that Dr. Quinn gave me permission to take a shower even with the drain. Just had to cover the drain site with press and seal! Managing pain with Tylenol, but using hydrocodone and Valium at night to help me sleep. Already happy to see my flatter tummy even with the swelling.

Feeling great. Minimal pain. Having trouble sleeping bc I think I am moving more at night which causes me to wake up with pain. Taking Tylenol regularly. Can almost stand up straight! . Still drain in but crossing my fingers that I will get it out Mon. Or Tues. Pics are from today. I have been so happy with my treatment by Dr. Quinn and his staff. They really prepared me well for what to expect and have been so encouraging and supportive.
