Nervously Trying This Again

Well I’ve scheduled my next surgery with Dr. Klink. If you’ve followed my Tummy Tuck surgery, you know I always was going to have to go back in for lipo of my flanks. The bellybutton scar is super wide (after my stitches were removed my bellybutton expanded horribly.) so he’s going to lipo my flanks, fix the bellybutton, and do my Mons pubis. In addition I decided to go ahead and have my back and under arms lipo’d. May as well. I’ve lost 12-15lbs so far and I’m hoping to get to 165-170 before my next surgery date. Honestly I’m happy and with the minor tweaks I think I’m going to look phenomenal. I can’t wait to have no flanks and a more sculpted midsection. Considering everything I’ve been through I deserve this !! Stay safe ladies

I Truly wish it was me. But I went and bought a house this year so my money went there instead. I’m now 67 most people say I don’t look at but that’s OK I’m very very healthy thank God

Hello, You look amazing!!! Thanks for sharing your story. I'm glad to hear all your thoughts on Dr. Klink and his staff. I will be having a TT/BL with him in Sept 2020. I have a questions about you: how tall are you? What did you weigh pre surgery? I'm a little overweight now, I thought I would be able to lose 15 lbs, but I will see what he says in 3 weeks. He also told be that I will come back in 6 mos for lipo/flanks. Thanks for your input! Stephanie

Thank you so much! Nice! My surgery is in September as well! I'll be sure to follow your recovery. Pre surgery I believe I was 184-187 (I believe) i could've been closer to 190. I am not sure. I'm 5'5. I'm 175-177 right now. If you can lose the 15 pre-surgery you should definitely try. The smaller you are it will help you maintain the momentum after surgery recovery.

Thanks for the info...I'm really excited. Question...is there something you wished you would of known going into this procedure? I feel like I have r/s alot (garments, stool softners, shower chairs, scar medicine...etc) Is there anything that you wished you had or known?

Nope. Dr: Klink pretty much gives you everything. I would suggest getting the mommy body pillow, he suggested it and it worked wonders. I had a walker but I really only used it the first week. No need for the recliner chairs people suggest. I didn't buy any garment until I was out of stage 1. Then it was just a little leonisa one. Dr. Klink suggests wearing zip up hoodies or button up shirts so it's easy for him to view you. I was so scared after reading stories but I swear it was such an easy recovery. Except for sneezing and coughing. :) I paid for the gel scar cream through his office. $75 for a 2 month supply. It's a small cost considering how much you pay for your surgery. I only wish I would've lost a little more weight pre tuck. I hate my back rolls.
