Tummy tuck after 75 pound weight loss - I finally made it!
ORIGINAL POST
Dr Magic Mike Rodriguez I Finally Made It!
WORTH IT
Let’s start at the beginning or after a 75 pound weight loss I contacted several doctors but one I’ve kept my eye on with Dr. magic in Miami. I also reviewed other locations out of the country but decided this was my best option. What I liked about the Gentera location was the fact that they always answered my phone calls and I had so many questions prior to surgery. I didn’t have to put down a deposit prior to even having a Initial online consultation with the doctor and the nurse. That was wonderful because I wasn’t sure if I would be excepted because my BMI had to be under 40 and even though I lost a lot of weight I was still around 38 BMI and they wanted me to lose a few more pounds which I did. Friday was my surgery I had a tummy tuck and brachioplasty. Today is day 4. Omg thank god I paid extra to have the Exparel. It’s an additional nerve block that help me not feel that much pain in my tummy after surgery. Especially since I was having another procedure on the arms I’m having difficulty moving around a little bit I will keep you posted as I hit my week follow up this Friday. I’m happy with the location they asked me to stay here a week for a follow up and I’ve been there twice already Saturday I came in for a follow up treatment they looked at my wounds and gave me an IV therapy. Yesterday I came in for another check up and I was gonna do a hyperbaric therapy but I was not feeling up to it and I was feeling a little weak so hopefully I can get to do it before I leave.

Dr Magic Mike my Day Finally Came!
Everything has gone just as expected with Dr. Rodriguez! I am on day 5 recovery from my tummy tuck and arm brachioplasty. The family he works out of Gentera is a pleasure to go to. It is large and clean and friendly front desk staff! Dr Rodriguez has a great bedside manner, very matter of fact way of being, there is nothing he won’t tell you and took a lot of time pre surgery telling me what to expect. Post surgery I’m only day 5

Day 6 and my follow up with Dr Magic Mike tomorrow. Worried about my bellybutton healing properly but a new crème was called into pharmacy. Can’t wait to see doctor to see how he thinks I’m doing

It’s been a daily routine of changing my pads twice daily! I was given a different crème to add a silvidine crème to help with one of my arms same with tummy tuck working with belly button issues but coming along slowly
