I love my size 14 but, not this tummy. I want to wear clothes that fit and I don't want to be asked when is my baby due or hear my grandson say Ma-Ma are you having a baby? I want to feel good when I look in the mirror, I avoid going out and I look forward to dressing up the way I used to and liking what I see.

I am local and had my surgery in December. It is a long recovery road so just be prepared! I had it in my head to be prepared but in reality, I wasn't really prepared for what this takes out of you. Everyone says they wish they really understood how difficult this is. For a few lucky ones, they breeze through it but the older you are and the bigger you are, the more challenging it tends to be. It is still worth it but just get ready for the roller coaster ride!! I wish you the best of luck, you will be thrilled with your results. Remember lots of protein!!!

Thank you so much!!!! I'm excited and nervous you know the unknown although I've had several surgeries in the past I still don't know what to expect, with this one but, like childbirth it hurts but, once the pain passes there is nothing but, joy!!! :)

I had a mini tuck with Dr Davis January 7th. do you know if he uses drains with the full or the quilting method? No drains with the mini and I look really weird right now. He says it flattens out. You should look at my pictures just so you are not shocked when you first take off your bandage. If he uses drains I think it's a different look, also with a mini tuck the scar is smaller so you look more folded. Anyhow, the staff is great and helpful. I don't want to scare you away, just be prepared for folding and it does get better! Good luck!

I am between a size 12 and 14 and don't really hate my size but the ugly muffin top makes me ill everytime. I go in for surgery in 2/29 and will following your story. Best of luck. I would love to see before and after pics. Would you also mind sharing your height, weight, and measurements of you waist and hips before and after? I really find that information invaluable. Thanks for sharing your journey. I think this is a great support system especially from a bunch of strangers but we all have the same goals -to be the best "me". Happy healing.
