I originally wanted to get surgery because my husband and I hit a really rough patch and it took a toll on my confidence. I was tired of looking like a mom and I wanted the type of body I kept seeing on instagram. Haha.. I wanted a dramatic vixen body..something like the girls from DR. I just wanted to feel sexy again. I think that my body looks a million times better than how I started. It's not the dramatic look I really wanted, but I guess my goal wasn't realistic. Now I'm just trying to work towards slimming down and toning up.

Didn’t you have to get a revision from him after your 1st surgery because there was some kind of issue with the way it looked? I could have swore that you had commented about that in your review but now it seems edited? Several months ago, I went though every review from Dr shaddix and yours stuck out because you needed a revision….?

I am wanting a tummy tuck also. Does he include any lipo in the price? Did you have any lipo done with your procedure?

I'm feeling SOOOO much better. Right around day 15 or so I woke up and my pain was so much better--almost freakishly so. It was almost like I had turned a corner. I don't work (stay at home mom) but if I did, at about 2 weeks I could probably are going back to work as long as there was no real physical exertion. I'm walking ALMOST upright. For the most part I feel great. I still sort of 'turtle' and roll around trying to get up. Sneezing is still god awful. I can see the swelling gradually going down, too. Unfortunately, the better my stomach starts to look, the more I'm determined I NEED my boobs done. Haha.

I had lipo done on my thighs---still slightly bruised, swollen: I'm excited to see the final results. Anything is better than those jean destroying monsters I had! My inner thighs have always been a source of frustration. The fat from my thighs and from what was lipo'd during my tummy tuck was added to round out my butt from my first bbl. I've been reduced to sleeping on my back because of my tummy tuck, so I'm paranoid that I'm flattening my ass. I keep taking pictures trying to make sure everything is good.

Overall I'm hopeful and excited to see the final results and get back into the gym. I'm ready to tone my arms and back...everything else looks so great, I've found new motivation.

I'll forever be thankful for everything Dr. Shaddix has done. I've had a rough year and with his help, I think I'm finally getting my confidence back.

I am finding it so hard to make the mental switch. I still find myself wanting to hide my body behind big baggy clothes instead of embracing and loving it.

I promise you'll get there. After my bbl I was the same way, but when I got ready to have my tummy tuck, I tried to find looser clothing-- I'D GOTTEN RID OF THEM ALL!!! I don't know when, but somehow my wardrobe gradually changed! Your results look great!
