Tummy Tuck - 27 Yr Old with 2 Kids - Saint Clair Shores, MI

I had my consultation today with Dr. Kayser. The office was beautiful and comfortable. All his staff were amazing and friendly. Denis was wonderful and made you feel like family. At first Denis greeted me and took me into an exam room and discussed which procedures I was interested in. Then Dr. Kayser came in to measure me, take photos and give his professional opinion. When it comes to being naked i am a shy person but I felt totally relaxed in such a vounerable situation. After getting dressed I was taken into an office to discuss pricing and financing with Denis. Dr. Kayser came in to fully explain the procedure and let me ask him a million questions! After we finished talking I was walked into Denis' office to talk hospital info and scheduling. When I left I felt I was in good hands with Dr. Kayser and his team.

I called Dr. Kaysers office back yesterday to ask a few more questions because this process is VERY emotional and overwheling (at least for me - I'm very back & fourth). Price depended on which hospital I chose, we ended up going with the hospital they highly recommend although it was more $$. Cosmetic surgery is not the thing to price shop for. So I have scheduled my tummy tuck (no lipo needed) at St John's Surgery Center - 16 weeks and counting! I was a little bummed that the week I wanted to schedule my surgery (in order to have 4 weeks off work) Dr. Kayser would be on vacation. So I had to schedule it for the week after therefore ill have 3 weeks off work to recover - hope thats long enough. I have 2 kiddos at home, one in double digits so she should be VERY helpful and then I have a 2 yr old toddler - definitely kills me to think of not being able to cuddle him (he loves his mama). My husband will be home with me for the first week for sure but is trying to get away with taking 2 weeks. I will probably join a gym and start working out to lose some weight. Im 27 yrs old, non smoker, am 5'3 and weigh 130. But doc says there's nothing more I need to do but wait for surgery day...

Hello! Just wanted to let anyone know that's following that I'm 5 days post op, I had my surgery Tuesday 7/19 at 730am. Everything went well! Since surgery I haven't had any pain, just LOTS of tightness in my abdomen. I have 2 drains on both ends on my incision.. They don't drain very much. I've been sleeping a lot in a recliner, today was the first day I could start to feel the discomfort in my lower back, either from walking hunched over or from sleeping in the recliner. I've showered twice since surgery, everything looks good! The incision is low and I have a nice round open belly button! He took 1 lb off during surgery. Showering definitely takes a toll on my body. When I take my binder off, it's like I have no security and can't breathe. Also since surgery, I haven't ate much. I basically just eat snacks when I have to take my meds. My husband has been amazing and patience! Definitely couldn't go through this without someone to help you. My first post op appt with Dr Kayser is tomorrow!
