After years of stalking real self and following gorgeous Barbie dolls.
Ive finally booked it, I toyed with the idea of travelling afar to the DR or Columbia for my procedure I've been nagged and bullied into making the sensible choice of staying close to home and going with Dr Simon Lee based at bristol Spire.
He is a great guy we instantly clicked on the first meet.
I told him my goals and he has said it is a realistic possibility.
Im hoping for a smaller tummy/waist with emphasis on my curves.
Having had 3 c sections plus an additional cut to my stomach due to wound infection my muscles are completely exhausted.
Pre ops are tomorrow and surgery is next Wednesday,
A consult fee of £120 was also required, my total is in UK pounds.
I do not agree with the attitude of his secretary and will be having a word with Mr Lee about her once Surgery has been completed.
Any hints or tips on preparation and recovery would be great.
Brought clothes, pillows, vitamins, arnica etc.

Not just me then - I rang for a consult while he was on annual leave and literally after trying every day for a week the secretaty finally answered and was so rude I never rang back to make the consultation appointment because I thought it wasn't a good sign, i.e. If she is like that what must the surgeon be like and imaging trying to contact her if anything went wrong. She just barked down the phone at me - thought it was just me, obviously not! Glad to hear he is actually nice, I watched some of his videos and he seems like a v good surgeon so was surprised by secretarys manner. Good luck with your tummy tuck x

All done now recovery mode
Tbh the whole experience was totally quick.
Went in Wednesday morning I was starving lol as no food after 6.30 am.
Was told I would be 2nd on the list and enders going down at around 5pm instead of 4.
All I remember is speaking with the anaesthetist then waking up and thinking I hadn't even been done yet lol.
I think the op took 3.5 hours and I returned to my room from recovery at around 11-12 pm.
I felt extremely nauseas and was sick a lot the next day.
On Thursday I struggled with hunger and vomiting.
The staff were really friendly and most of them don't make you feel as though your being a nuisance lol.
The food was good and substantial.
I wasn't in a lot of pain but ensured I had my meds on the dot around the clock.
I'm now at home after spending 2 nights there went in Wednesday and discharged Friday.
I had the drains out this morning that was uncomfortable.
Due back twice next week for dressing change and then dressing removal.
I've got a binder on now and have not yet seen my results I can't wait though.will upload pics once I've taken them

Brill to hear it all went well - did he come and check up on you after the surgery? How was the anesthetist? Bet you are glad it is all over now - great x

Thank you
Yes Mr Lee checked up on me twice after surgery.
Once the day after and once again before I went home.
The anaesthetist was a lovely guy.
He spoke to me calmly and reassured all my doubts and questions.
Before I knew it is was asleep and then awake questioning if the tummy tuck had actually happened lol x
