Having another tummy tuck 9 years later!

WORTH IT$5,240
I'll be having another tummy tuck along with Lipo this time around. December 2020! Let the countdown begin! I decided to get another one because with the first one I did not get the liposuction. Big, big mistake! After all the swelling subsided it looked as if I didn't even have anything done! I was so disappointed in my results. Even after going to the gym on a daily basis, losing weight, changing my eating habits,I felt I still looked the same as I did even before I had surgery! But fast forward 9 years later. I'm embarking on a whole new journey. I'll be having Lipo this time, hopefully I'll get better results. Nonetheless though, I'll definitely post pics! I'm counting down to December! Hopefully there will be a happy ending to what has been a crazy year!

Well hello ladies, just wanted to do a quick update. Well, I'll be 7 weeks po this Thursday. I STILL have alot of swelling at the end of the day. I'm flat in the mornings and swollen by the end of the day. I still have to sleep in my binder, I really don't wear it as much during the day now like I did in the beginning. My incision has healed nicely. I'm still doing my scar treatment.
Not much as really changed since my last pics so not going to post any new ones right now maybe at my 2 month mark. But anyway, just wanted to check in with a small update. Hope everyone is doing well and good luck to all future TTer's. God Bless.

Hey Stephanie, I was wondering how you were coming alone. I see you havent been on in a good while. If you see this message, holla at me. Hope your recover is going well!!!

Stephanie, I am thinking about undergoing a TT next year after my baby is a little bigger/mobile. Dr. Snodgrass is doing an augmentation for me this year in July. Would you recommend him for the TT and I noticed your tuck was relatively inexpensive. Was he running some promotion or was that the normal price?

holidaymindy~ If you are in the Woodstock/Marietta area check out my PS office. I have heard great things about all of the Docs. there and they really have a fantastic office support staff who is very attentive. I think it all depends on what you have done, but this ps office doesn't include lipo and some do. It was an extra charge but well worth it (except the pain of recovering!) I wish you the best of luck. I can't believe I am almost a year post op!Â

hello- wondering if you still recommend Dr. Snodgrass after this is all over? I need a revision on an implant I had put in by another surgeon years ago that now has capsular contracture. surgeon doesnt seem very eager to help and I would like a TT also if I am going back in to surgery. Dr. Snodgrass rates are very reasonable....unlike my 1st surgeon.....just curious how you feel now that it has been awhile?

Steph, If your looking for a good body garment, also you can try Spanx. I use this on called Higher power spanx. I was told by the PS the fit helps to eliminate fluid and decrese swelling. It works for me. Its a high waisted garment, plus it stays in place under your bra. Doesnt roll down. I order mine off zappos for $36 bucks. I also have a body magic. Works wonderful. Keep looking Fabulous girly.

@ Brooksie, thanks so much! I was wanting to purchase a real good compression garment that will mainly help with the swelling. I will definitly check out Zappo's though. ;o)

Looking good steph!!! Wow you must feel awesome!

Thanks FitDiva for the compliment! I feel so good right now-I'm 4 weeks 3 days PO and I know it'll just get better and better each day. But no really, outside of the stretch marks, I'm very pleased with my results! When you have your mommy makeover? Have you scheduled a date yet?
January 16, 2012
Girl no not yet! I'm in the process of deciding between 2 docs I have re-consults scheduled with both this week so I'm hoping for a decision sooner rather than later. I'm been having to take extra tune to get hubby more involved. looks like I'm gonna have to send for my mom to look after me so hubby can work. That is gonna be u interesting as I didn't wanna gave to tell her. Maybe I won't have to we will see. I am hoping to get done next month so I can be ready for summer. I love your BB I hope mine turns out great. Shoot! They not gone be able to keep a shirt onme! Lol!!! I'll keep you posted about the date as soon as its scheduled! I'm picking up my recliner tomorrow so meanwhile I'm preparing. I k ow my day is coming. Happy MLK day!!

Happy MLK Day to you too FitDiva! Well at least you're not rushing into anything-just take your time because you'll know the right one when you see him. I finally told a few more of my family members and I really feel like it was a BIG mistake (that's the reason why I was hesitant is telling them in the first place)people just don't understand.
I love my BB too! I told my PS that I wanted an "oval" shaped one and I think he did pretty good. Trust me, that recliner will come in handy!
But yeah, just keep me updated on what day you decide on. I'll be following your progress...;o)
