Tummy tuck and lipo

I am 24 years old and a mom of three sons. A you can guess my figure wouldn't return completely back the way it was previously. Even if it had I still wasn't happy with my stomach area. I was always self conscious to wear a bathing suit even as a teen because my belly fat stayed on the lower portion of my stomach. I decided after my last son was born 9 months ago I was ready to look into surgical options to "treat myself" and get the body I had always dreamed of. I started my research about 4 months ago. At first I was going to go to Miami due to the drastic price differences between here in Houston Texas and there. It would have been about 4500 vs 11,000. But in the end I decided I wanted to be closer to home. So I got on here and google and started researching drs and there before and after pics. I stumbled across Dr Germán Newall who has won many awards for his "feminine curves and body contouring". I was able to get a free consultation that week and was booked for surgery 2 weeks later. The office has many drs who have been there quite awhile. He's been doing this for about 25 years. He was very very nice and had great bedside manner. I have seen him a total of 4 times before surgery. His staff was also super nice and helpful with any questions I had. They provide a regimen of pre op vitamins and a packet of instructions and what to expect. No stone was left unturned with these people and i loved that. My consultant was super nice and helpful she has called quite a few times to check on me pre and post op. I'm 1 day post op and in quite a bit of pain. The experel makes it a little bit easier but moving to far hurts like hell. I make sure and walk every 2 hours before getting back into bed and highly recommend staying on top of your pain meds. Will keep updating as the weeks pass.
