I’d do It again!

I went in for my consultation, pretty nervous but set on the idea of a TT. Dr. DeJesus patiently described the process to me and explained what MR was and how my package would include that plus lipo and made sure I understood all of the risks involved with the whole procedure.
Surgery and aftercare, so far, have gone perfectly. Dr. DeJesus has been amazing. Her bedside manner is impeccable. She pays very close attention to detail and her work is perfection. I’d do it all again in a minute.

Just 2 weeks post-op pix. In this amount of time, I’d begin walking just about straight upright again and all 3 drains were removed. I’m showering with no help and I’m sick of my 24/7 compression garment but I respect its’ purpose. Constipation in the first week was an issue so stay hydrated and use a stool softener as well as something like Senna leaves (capsules) from a vitamin store. Or whatever laxative you’re used to, if you’re using pain pills for the first week or two. Good luck!

I’m more in love with my tummy tuck now than I was two years ago when I got it. I’ve lost more weight and everything just lays nice and flat and tight. I had some unfortunate things happen recently in the hospital which caused severe, pitting edema. And even after a 60# (temporary) weight gain (over a matter of a few days) my tummy remained flat. After my body healed and I returned home, my body slowly went back to normal and I’ve continued on my weight-loss journey. I’ll still say this was the best money I ever spent on myself personally.
