My Dream Desire

WORTH IT
For over 12 years I've desired to have a tummy tuck. Since my last pregnancy ( mother of two) I knew I wanted this done. I fantasized what my belly would look like if it was only flatter and if I didn't have that extra skin. And know I tried everything I could on my end. I eat clean and started working out like crazy. I trained for marathons, metric bike rides and was at the gym weightlifting 5X a week but even then, my tummy looked the same.
Late last year I said enough- this pooch is going so I invested my time and energy into making my dream come true!
I did so much online research and started talking to my family and my close friends about it. Finding the right Dr. for you is a challenge and takes time. I honestly spent four months if not more doing research, making consultations etc. But the wait time was well worth it because I found the right Dr for me.
Before going in for the consultation, I felt as if I already knew him. This may sound crazy but I even paid my deposit fee and scheduled "my surgery date" before even meeting him in person!
And when I did meet him in person it was everything I expected and more. He made me feel so comfortable (again I felt like I already knew him and was catching up with a long lost friend) and explained everything to the T in such a relaxed manner. I definitely didn't feel or got this experience from the three other docs I had seen before.
I am 100% satisfied with the Dr I chose and the staff. They make you feel like family.
I wish that anyone else going through this process has the same experience when choosing their Dr.
Do not settle for less and do you! :)

Five weeks and stilll swollen!
srodriApril 23, 2019
Hi everyone,
This is my fifth week and I still have some stubborn swelling that just won't go away :(
More specifically, right under my belly button. I've worn my binder religiously since my surgery but still can't get rid of this swelling.
Is anyone else experiencing/experienced swelling right under the BB?

7th Week!

Hi everyone,
It's been seven weeks and finally back in the gym! I am starting out slow and modify certain workouts, bending still feels a little weird. Overall, the swelling is getting better and I am so happy to be back at the gym!

Looks amazing! I’m almost 2 weeks and fingers crossed mine looks like this in 5 weeks!

Thank you, I appreciate it! It definitely takes time-be patient. I am 8 weeks post OP and still have some swelling under belly button. However, every week I make progress...best of luck to you!
Congratulations on working out and making the changes to your body. That's awesome. Thank you for sharing your tips and experience!
