I'm So Nervous - Suwanee, GA...Dr Jimerson...Tummy Tuck & lipo

Hello Ladies,

I'm new to RealSelf but I have been reading everyone's reviews and experiences. I recently had my virtual consultation with Dr Jimerson. He seems really nice and his staff has been really helpful with answering my questions. I'm a married and have 2 beautiful little girls. My youngest daughter is 2 months old and I am looking to have my surgery Jan 2013 (that will put me at 6 months post delivery). Both of my pregnancies put a toll on my body. I'm so insecure about my stomach, it's all wrinkled and ugly...I HATE IT!!! My body used to be amazing but not so much anymore...I am a fitness fanatic and take I eat very well but no matter what I do I just dont feel pride in my body anymore. All I see is my ugly stomach and flat butt (I used to have a nice one but that disappeared).

I am looking to get a full tummy tuck, and fat grafting to the butt and hips. I dont want a huge butt, just a really nice one with a little "spank" on it...lmao...I'll post a pic of my ideal body as soon as I figure out how.

I am choosing to go with Dr Jimerson because his work amazes me. He is an artist and I figured if I'm going to do it I mind as well get it done right...This is my life and body on the line...not to say other PS arent good, but I personally would only feel comfortable having Jimerson as my PS. This is something that I have been wanting for 5 years and I finally have the finances and time to do it...


I have a few questions for you beautiful ladies that have gone through with your procedure and got your J Curves:

1) I've seen plenty of photos os ladies a few months post op, but I am more interested in seeing pictures of ladies more than a year post op. Do any of you have pics that you could post? I dont want to spend so much money only to have it disappear 2 years down the line...

2) Have any of you had a tummy tuck and BBL at the same time? Could you please tell me about your experience? Thinking about the recovery is freaking me out!!!

3) For you active ladies, how long did it take you to feel comfortable in the gym? running? weights? Due to the nature of my job, I have to be fit and ready to go.

I will continue to post about my journey...Thanks....
