Hi everyone, I've been interested in getting a tummy tuck for a while, and I said what the hell, if I get that I might as well fix the other areas too. So I decided to get the bbl and tt together. This site really helped me in choosing my surgeon!!!!!! I called in Jan 2012 to schedule an appt for a consultation after reading a review here and seeing the before and after results. I also looked up the doctor and I found nothing but good things about him.......Well it seems that he is in extreme high demand because there wasn't an appt available to April! Well between that time and now I've had 2 other consultations and Dr.Hegg was the best! He's very confident and we seem to be on the same page. That was important to me. I'm a mother of 3. So since having kids I haven't been happy with my tummy. I don't have a a lot of stretch marks but I just can't seem to get rid of that belly fat And loose skin.I was hoping I wouldn't need a tummy tuck, but the doctors said my skin would probably sag after if I just did lipo.....I don't wanna take that chance because I'm getting a huge discount on the tummy tuck because I'm doing both together. Well I was hoping to have my Kim Kardash body by the summer but the doctor is already booked till September......so I Scheduled my surgery date for Sept.4th 2012. I had to pay a $500 deposit to book the appt (this seemed to be the average as with other doctors) I don't live in that area so the receptionist suggested that I stay in a hotel near by for the first week because the doctor makes a house call 2 days after to make sure everything is going good, and he has to give me an injection. She said I wouldn't be in any condition to commute to the office so that would be the best bet... I'm really excited!!!! I'm going to try my best to post updates and pictures so my info can help anyone else interested in this type of surgery. I decided to post my own review because most of the girls I seen were pretty slim before their surgery and complained about needing to gain weight. (I wish!) Well I'm 5'1 and I weigh 153 right now. I would consider my self chubby or thick right now. I was told that my results will be better if I lose some weight before that surgery, so that's what I'm going to be working on till then...... I'm a open book so if anyone has any questions feel free to ask!

Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirlfriend I can tell you right now that PAIN is an understatement, childbirth is a walk in the park when compared to a tummy tuck. However, it is definitely worth it! I am currently recovering (surgery was 23rd of July) and I already see a difference, swelling and all bruised up, I look better than I did yet still in soooooo much pain though. About the hotel, the Marina Inn did not offer 2 queen beds at the time of my surgery there was only rooms with 1 queen bed and a roll out, which I was not about to have my friend whom was kind enough to travel with me, stay 2 days with me and take care of me 24/7 on a roll out bed so we stayed at the Comfort Inn and Suites had a fantastic room and even got a discount for mentioning I was having surgery (log onto TheRealPlaces.com). The Marina would have been nice, great view and the rooms looked great as well, however speaking for myself & my friend she was 110% pleased and thankful that she was able to work out and even enjoy the indoor sauna while being on call during my surgery time which was from 9am to 4:30pm. So much to share being that I just had this done, I am still wearing my drains and unable to stand up straight. Any info I can give to help you with a stress free surgery do not hesitate to connect with me, I wish I had known the little info I can give before I had surgery... I actually weigh more than you, worked out yet just toned didn't lose weight at all. I too would say I am chubby, for sure curvy yet I had loose chub with muscle hidden beneath. Which is where Dr. Hegg came in, he gave me the definition I once had in high school at which I thought I was then fat, but now curves are sweet with me any day. I am no longer curvy & lumpy... This is a serious decision and is life changing, embrace it and know that you will be in hands of an angel ;) Take good care I am here if you need me!

I know what you mean having kids makes it really hard to lose the belly. I tried everything and mine would not take off. I am also getting a tummy tuck but in December. Well Good luck on your surgery! :) You are going to look fabulous.

hi everyone. I'm posting some current pictures of my body. Omg it is really eye opening to see them! I didn't realizes how out of shape I have gotten!!!!! I'm sooooo disapointed with my self! I have been trying to diet since the begining of the year, but as you can see I haven't been doing to well :( hopefully these eye opening pictures will give me the willpower and motivation to succeed. I'm trying to lose at least 10 pounds before my surgery. I've tried pills, eating healthier, and a little exercise but I have little willpower to stay away from cookies, cakes, frappuccinos, and carbs!!! They're so delicious. I will also try to post some pictures of my body before I became pregnet with my last child (2010) I wieghed about 135-140 at that time. I was thick, but in all the right places. Right now I weigh 151 (but I look more like 180!) I really hope I can lose the weight!!!! I will keep you all posted.

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted an update in a while. I've been really busy!!!! Well I didn't get my surgery in sept after all. I felt I wasn't ready (with my wieght & the holidays right around the cornner) So I rescheduled for late Feb this year. I was able to finally lose some wieght. I wieght about 140-137 right now. I still feel fat! :( Even though my pre-pregnancy jeans fit, and are a lil loose it just doesn't feel the same as before. So I took some body pics today. If I stand different ways my body looks better but I wanted to show my flaws. I promise I will update after my surgery! Good luck all! XOXO
