To Say I Was Nervous is an Understatement...

After going to multiple consultations with different area surgeons I chose Dr. Mark because I felt he gave me the consultation that doctors should give. He asked me all the right questions, making sure I wasn’t expecting unrealistic results and understanding the full scale of what I was doing. He made me feel very comfortable and was very informative on what to expect before, during and after the surgery. His staff was so accommodating and supportive when I called multiple times with additional questions.

Leading up to the surgery I was so excited but also very nervous because I know the pain was going to be much worse than anything I’ve experienced before. After having two children; a 12 year old and my one year old, my body and I just had enough and I wanted to remove the loose flabby skin. As you can see I’m only one week postop but I already see a huge difference and can’t wait to continue to see positive results. I still have about 15 pounds to lose and once that happens I know I’ll be extremely happy with my journey.

I’ve had almost all of my stitches removed. (Only 3 anchors remain.) I was so worried about the “w” style incision but now that I can see my results I’m really happy with everything. I’m still super sore and can’t stand up straight but I can feel my core healing each day. I just want the swelling to down!

I accidentally deleted my Before photo so here it is. I’m 39 years old, 5’11 and weighted 170. I’ve had 2 children with my youngest being 1 year old. I still have about 20 lbs to lose to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight.
