I'm Actually Doing This.... - Little Rock, AR

I saw Dr. Michael Spann today for my consultation for a full tummy tuck. I entered the office excited and nervous, not knowing what to expect. I completed the paperwork and was escorted to a room shortly thereafter. I became concerned and a tad agitated because my appointment was at 9am and at 9:45a, I still hadn't seen Dr. Spann. When he did enter the room with his nurse, his calming and personable demeanor caused me to quickly change my attitude. He took some time in the beginning to ask questions about who I was and what I did fir a living. He allowed me to audio record the consultation, as I explained that it would help me to recall what was discussed after I left. I've read great things about him on this site & from a friend who recently had a consultation with him. ALL the great things said/written were factual! He is not out to just make a few thousand dollars, but truly wants to help people love who they see in the mirror (my own assessment)! I highly recommend him & anxiously await my big day!

OMG...I can hardly believe that I am only three days away! I've had all sorts of emotions from pure excitement to anxious to all out fear. I've gotten supplies all bundled together & have secured my help. I'll be working up thru Tuesday so that should help to keep my mind busy! I plan to post before pics very soon!

I am now on the flat side as of 10/5! I must say it hasn't been all that bad. I prepared for the worse though! I started stool softeners two days before surgery & actually had a poo on post op day 2 with no pain. I didn't have an appetite until yesterday, but still couldn't eat much. I took pain meds every 4 hours like clockwork. I only have one drain & as of today I'm producing much less (under 30). I use ice packs for swelling, but still "feel" fat in the belly. Hopefully I'll get the drain out on Wednesday when I go in!
