I want to have a tummy tuck where I can still have an hour glass shape and have a natural belly button. More importantly I want safety and none the less just for the fat to be gone! I hate wearing dresses and seeing a kangaroo pouch there. (Side eyes lol). I will be having my muscles tighten, hernia repair, and lipo. I'm having Dr. Scott Kasden to perform my surgery. Meeting with him twice and he was very informative and patient. I didn't feel rushed and he answered all of my questions. Feel free to ask any questions.

It's comforting to see other African American women on here using Dr. Kasden. That was one of my main concerns when I started looking for a surgeon in dfw. I wanted a doc that would understand a black womans body. Dr. Kasden was like the only doc I found that had a black woman in his review pics on his site even though it was just one. So I'm super excited I learned about this Real Self forum and was able to come across you ladies!

That's a main reason why I wanted to post on here, I didn't see a lot of African American women on here and wanted to help out with my story/journey.

Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing this! I've been looking for a Dr in the DFW area to possibly perform my TT. African American women sometimes get different results based off of our bodies so thanks!' Have you had your surgery yet?

Just got this recliner off "OfferUp". Paid $10 now this will help me so much with my surgery. Although my doctor told me it was not necessary to buy one, I thought it would be best. I didn't want to sleep in the bed with my husband while still trying to recover.

Pre Op Apt :)

So today I had my pre op apt. Let's just say I'm even more excited and ready. This is just one more step closer to my procedure and it makes it seem more real. I went in at 5 pm and didn't leave the office until about 7:30! I really appreciate Dr. Kasden and Beth letting me come in for such a late appointment, and for staying in the office with me so late. They both explained a lot to me and my caregiver. I was advised of how to eat two days before surgery and the day before surgery. I was unaware that the day before surgery I have to do a cleanse.I was provided with my medications as well. We took my before pictures and signed a whole lot of forms. We also discussed the drains and how to go about emptying and how to record the needed information. I also paid my final balance for the doctor and for the garments. I was told I'll have to take a shower at night and in the morning. I can't wear any lotion. lol I'm black I don't want to be ashy on the or table. It was a lot more information but that's all I'll put on here. Of course I don't mind answering any questions so feel free.

I am scheduled for my TT on May 5, 2017 and pre-op on April 10th.. Was curious about what happens at Pre-op....So very nervous....

It was very informative. My PS discussed all the medications to stop taking, I'm currently not on anything so I didn't have to stop anything. Two weeks before surgery they want you to start taking vitamins. At the pre op we took my before pics. I also paid my final dues to the PS and signed all of my paperwork, which was a lot! We went over what to expect the day of surgery how I will need to register with the hospital, that I will be waiting for about two hours, they will ask multiple times what surgery am I having. The night before surgery and the day of surgery take a shower with hibiclens soap, shampoo hair no conditioner. I have to be on a cleanse the day before. Take stool softners and drink magnesium citrate. Drink a gallon of gaterorade. He gave me all my scripts, went over the drains, the day of surgery the only thing that can drink is a vet small amount of water to drink with the aparazolam. I believe that's all. Feel feee to ask anything it may bring more details from me lol. Hope this helps!
