I don't know the actual cost of the tummy tuck since my hernia surgery was done with my tummy tuck. Yes I paid much less than if you were to just have the tummy tuck alone without insurance coverage. But I don't know how much it would cost if you only had the tummy tuck with Dr. Trovato. He is a very nice man. You can call his office for a consult. I do recommend to get 2-3 consults before deciding on a PS. But I will say Dr. Trovato is very good and really cares about his patients and how they look afterwards. He wants is patients to be happy with the results.

Hey your lookin' good! September will be my 1year too! I've about given up on the scar, and now its undoubtedly on its way to getting lighter! Hooray! Are you staying active? Oh I want to but its so easy to nap on the couch after work!

My scar is soft and I think starting to lighten up more and more. Active...hahahaha.....in my head I am...but I can't get my body to follow along. It's been so hard to get back into my regular routine of being active since the surgery. But everyday I tell myself, today is the day.

You look great ! When the dr fixed your hernia did he use mesh? I also have a incisional hernia , so I am curious to know how he repaired it , thanks take care!

Thank you. He didn't use the plastic mesh, he used bio mesh. Which is human dermas. No problems at all with it. I was scared of the old mesh you hear so many stories about having to be removed. Good luck.

Thought I would add a few new pics. I'm very happy with my results from my Hernia repair and TT. After having the seroma cavity removed and more skin removed, I'm in love with my new Tummy.
I don't regret this for one minute. I'm almost 85% back to normal. I'm not able to walk/run very far, but this past week has been better. Not as much swelling after my walks.
I do still swell especially if I don't wear my CG all day long. But I'm weaning myself off of it. I still sleep with my binder on every night. I feel lost without it. LOL

If you have any questions, please ask away.

So glad to hear from you...been thinking about you lots. You are looking FANTASTIC! Glad everything finished up well and that you are so pleased. I'm 3 weeks PO from my TT/MR. Am doing well, swollen of course, but healing well. Have some weight to lose yet, but very happy nonetheless. Take care and keep up the good work, you are GORGEOUS!!!

6 Days PO after seroma surgery.

I had surgery to remove the seroma cavity on Dec. 18th. It was a success. The doc found a seroma about the size of a grapefruit. He drained 100cc out of it before trying to remove. He also fixed a small dog ear on my left side and removed more skin in the middle as well as raised my mons more. I have one drain this time, thank goodness.

I'm very happy with the outcome. I do have to take it easy for awhile, but nothing like the first surgery. I'm still tender in the area where the seroma was. Of course swollen as usual.

I go back for my first follow up on Dec. 31st.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.
