Tummy Tuck (not a revision) - Rockville, MD

I am a significant weight loss patient. I lost over 90 pounds without medical intervention. Consequently, I have a great deal of excess, loss skin. I attempted to tighten skin in my abdominal area with non-invasive treatment; however, results were not desirable. I assessed 3 physicians and decided Dr. Tattlebaum was the best fit for me. Hopefully, the procedure goes well. Dr. T indicated muscle repair may be necessary given the amount of laxity I manifest. We shall see...

I hadn't looked at my new navel until my follow up with Dr.T. Quite an interesting experience. Though, I observe significant swelling, I'm quite pleased with the absence of the infamous "roll".....you all know what I mean!

So far pain seems manageable. I was concerned about inflammation but Dr. T assuaged my disconcertedness. My most formidable challenge is remaining still. I typically exercise 6-7 days per week. I love outdoor activities. I will now channel my energy into blogging and reading. ughhhh!

I found it helpful to view my peers pre-op shots. Perhaps my images will benefit others. By the way, please forgive any misspellings or prolix you may encounter in my postings. The meds have definitely impacted my cognition.
