Still not happy with results my belly button isn't centered. I can still pull skin out which kinda upsets me bc I did spend so much and have loose skin still. I'm going talk to my ps next appointment which isn't for another 2-3 weeks. He told me he'd b able to get All of my stretch marks bc the were all under my belly button, yet I have one. Totally disheartening I've gone through all of this and it's not what I thought at all. I can't even notice that he did lipo of my flanks they look exactly the same. I know they sat it gets better but how can it get better I already have loose skin. Auh irratating and I've also been meal portion controling so I know it's not me gaining weight.

I went to the ps yesterday (not my usual dr., he was out on surgery). He told me where my drains were it looked like the tissue was trying to come together. As for my belly button it looked good. I'm still oozing out of them and I'm starting to feel blue about doing the surgery again. Just when i start seeing progress something happens. I honestly wish my life would just go back to the way it was. I'm not any smaller than i was i just replaced my skin for a scar. I really thought this surgery would make me feel good about my body again but its doing the exact opposite. But as my mom you just gotta keep on trucking. Im hoping this all goes away very soon. Also just got a letter from insurance rejecting my claim for a breast reduction. Just all in all feeling blue. Hopefully I get out of this mood very soon. :( no pics today i look the same red and oozing story of my life

When I went in I felt extremely comfortable, the staff was extremely curtious. He, himself was very nice, and told me everything I needed to know. They say your supposed to interview several ps's before hand, meeting with him I knew right away there would be no need for that. I got my tummy tuck, three days later I was washing clothes, and doing my other household duties. Which is a lot better than most people I know who've had the surgery. His staff and himself have been extremely nice and friendly, answering all my questions. I've met with him every-time (most people say they only see their ps's before surgery). I also haven't had to pay for anything since I paid for my surgery (binder (spanx) scar gel (which is really expensive)). I'm still really swollen but the results I see i'm happy with. Very glad i choose Dr. Ortegon and his staff and I will continue to use him.
