Hello everyone, I must say I too have stalked this...

Hello everyone, I must say I too have stalked this site for about a year now. So here is a little about me. Im 34, married with three kids. My children are 16, 15, and 12. I had my children young and got that out of the way! Now its time to get me back right :-). I am 5'7 and weight 260lbs. I have 2months to loose 25 lbs ( my goal) . I AM ALL TUMMY. I love being a juicy woman, I love my curves, I just hate my tummy butt. Im sched for may 7th and I am nervous... but excited and ready!!!! I cold turkey changed my diet and have started working out chicken breast and veggies only for this lady ! My doc says he will do my procedure, with a mesh, no lipo so tummy tuck only- lipo will be completed about 3-4 months after surgery if needed. Im ok with this, but I am curious if anyone has had the mesh applied??? Does it increase or decrease healing time, easier to recuperate? I heard it decreases the risk of re gaining weight.. is this true? Any and all opinions welcomed.

i wish this website would let you search reviews by dr/procedure... not just what is available. will this be updated any time soon?

You can do that!!   Click Here and then type in the procedure or doctor's name that you would like to search, and then the city in the box to the right of that.  This will generate a list for you.  Let me know if you need any help.

Hello everyone! I only posted one review prior to my surgery. I just stopped by to tell eveyone that I have had an amazing Journey!!!!!!!!!!. Dr. Horndeski is the best Physician i could have chosen. I had surgery on May 7th2013. I took two weeks off from work- I recovered nicely. I have had follow -up appts with Dr. Hordeski initially weekly and now monthly. I had the Tummy tuck with mesh placement/ muscle plication and so far so good. I also had a tummy tuck with NO liposuction. I have read reviews about Dr. Horndeski. I can honestly say he has the best Staff, Liza is the best best best Physician asssistant I have ever encountered. This practice is wonderful and Dr. Horndeski has the best bedside manner. I am a registered nurse. I have encountered multiple plastic surgeons and physicians from all over the world. I can tell you from first hand expierience that This Doc by far is Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!! I am loving my results and my incision has healed nicely! I will post pic soon!!!!!
