WORTH IT$17,300
I am scheduled for surgery on 9/28/16. After having four kids and having my first one 10 days after I turned 15. Is time for me to get the body that I never had a chance to enjoy and see. All I have seen is a beely pooch for the last 17 years. I'm exited to finally have a flat belly and not be sucking it in all the time, or pull my shirt so it won't be tight around my belly. I also am getting a bbl I want a little more but to fill my jeans. Hopefully I will also be getting breast implants and a lift but that will be more like next year:( the dr asked me what I wanted to dok first and I said ,I can hide my breast with a bra but a can't hide the roll around my waist ! I'm so exited .

Dr. Pyle did my full tummy tuck on Monday and I finally saw the results today. (Took a shower) Belly still needs to even out somewhat but it looks great thus far. And he did my incision exactly how I asked him. So far I am very happy with him and his team. Top notch. Best of luck to you!!!

Yes !! That's what we are here for, to support each other girl!!! I will let you know.

What questions did you have I am doing good. Anything you need to know and that I can answer let me know!

Hi,

Glad you are doing good. 3 c sections and a saddle bag that needs to go.! I have seen 3 drs in boston, ma. 2 I liked but both had different techniques. 1 was drains and an overnight . the other was no drains and no overnight. I don't know which is the best safest route to go. Both drs are tops and made the best in Boston. I am have tt m/r and lipo. I am trying to lose 10 pounds prior would like 20 but 10 is goal I set that is realistic. Did you need to lose weight prior? Also a little scared about an elective surgery but I can't stand the way my stomach looks. It makes me look shapless and so sick of wearing stretch pants. Your thoughts on this journey!!! ;) Marie

Well I was the same way my oldest is graduating next June. So I had that on my mind, I could use the money for college. But I lf you don't go for it when is it ever going to be the " right time" . I was trYing to loose weight but after exercising and dieting for 4 months I only lost 2 lb. I was mad and disappointed. I quit drinking soda and eating clean 70% off the tome but no change, just got more muscle on my legs and arms. But nothing I was ever going to was going to change my mid section. I had a drainless tt, lipo and muscle repair. Breast augmentation and lift. I think dealing with drains would have made it more difficult for me. I think you should go for it is a decision that you would not regret ( after all the recovery). I'm on my 4th day of recovery and feeling about 80 % my self but I still need to take it easy. Hope this helps. Anything ask!
October 3, 2016
Thanks, glad to talk to a drainless one!!! I DO think that is easier and a better way to go. You are right the timing is never going to be right. I have 2 in college and the 3 just finished. I have been hoarding money to save for this. What was your cost? Mine is $8,000 without staying. if I stay over the drainless doctor it would be 2.800.00 more. He says I don't need to stay. if I go with the drain dr $11,000.00. Thank you again. I will keep you in my thoughts that the recovery keeps going well! ;)

I think mine was about 9500 I ended up paying 17300 but that was with a much needed breast lift and augmentation also. My sisters thought that I was crazy wasting that money on elective surgery so I didn't have the support from her. But I didn't let her get me down and I didn't changet my mind. Also I'm so glad I did it I can't wait for the end results. If you have someone to help you out for the first 5 days after I think you would be fine going home the same day. I went in at 10 am and was at home by 3pm it about a 45 min drive. My husband and mom have been awesome with helping me get threw this. I hope you have the same support! But drainless is the best way so you don't have to bother with the drains. Both ways give the same result. Hope what I'm saying helps you . And thank you I'm doing good!

Ditto about the drainless. I was so thrilled to not have to deal with that added nuisance.

hi how are you doing? I am seeing the surgeon tomorrow to review final questions and set date. Scared though........elective surgery and when you read things about what can go wrong......yikes scary. I know don't read it. just wanted to check in.. Hope you doing great!
October 5, 2016
That's how I was. Just reading all the other posts , afrom scary to easy ones. I think is just the way you deal with the pain and preparing your self mentally. I reat that the 4th day was the worst but honestly the worst day for me was the second day pain wise. The swelling is bad but you can deal with it because it goes down every day. Just rest ....rest. and rest and if things are not done the way you like just let it go as long as they get done. It is not the end of the world! Just take it easy their is nothing that can't be fixed when you are feeling well! I'm doing good I had my one week post op today will post some pics tomorrow. Hope you have a great appt tomorrow let me know how it goes.

You mean Advil in between? Are you taking Percocet ??
Did you the doctor tell you to take the Advil?
