WORTH IT$5,550
I gained 80 lbs with my daughter. That took me up to 250lbs. I was encouraged by a Dr's visit to lose some weight. In Feb 2015 I started losing weight. By Aug I had lost a good portion of weight and decided to get a breast augmentation by Dr. Ratliff. Everything went very well and my breasts looked beautiful. I lost 15 more lbs before I had scheduled my tummy tuck. My tummy tuck was Friday, November 13th.
The Dr is very helpful and answered all my questions. He was straight to the point. Marked my tummy. And then they took me back. The nurses and anesthesia nurse are all super great. It took about 2 hrs to do my surgery. I was home by around 3pm.
I had no drains put in which was a relief. I had very little pain. Only when I walked around did I feel pain. I was off my pain meds by day 2. So far everything is going well.

Still experiencing extreme back pain.
Hard to breath from tightening my muscles down.
Incision line is dark, healing but still has mild pain.
Pretty bad swelling in gut area.
Belly button looks so cute and is healing great.
Stomach when not swollen looks amazing.
Really painful when I sneeze or cough..feels like my muscles are tearing.
I have been getting around a lot better. I stand up straight all but at night when I'm super swollen. I can do things for short bursts, but nothing too strenuous.
Still am happy I made this decision. I would recommend my doctor and the procedure!

Wow! I swear your "before" pic looks exactly like my stomach! Would you tell me your height/weight when you had your surgery? You look amazing now! I'm 5'7" and 170 and do High Intensity workouts 4x a week and trying to get to at least 160 before my TT ... Wanting to know how low in weight I should go that I can actually maintain! Again, you look amazing!

I am 5'7'' and 190 lbs. I got down to exactly the weight I felt most comfortable. I didn't plan on losing any more weight. That's what my doctor told me is most essential.
You look wonderful. How are you feeling today?
That will get better with time.
Perfect, it's all worth it:)
