Great Experiance

This is the doctor if you have curves and want to enhance them. He is truly an artist.
I met with him for a consult in January after consulting with many doctors in LA and Miami. He was the only doctor on my radar in my home city. I was frighten to travel to have surgery. Just when I was preparing myself to fly to the east coast—I found Dr Coscia. He is skilled. He’s very funny and kind-but straight forward. He’s not going to promise to make you a Barbie doll. He will give you honest feedback about what you can do to help you get the ideal results. I didn’t go into this as a size 10 looking to be a size 2 when I got off the table. My main priority was my core and being able to feel it again. After my 3rd and final pregnancy I could not feel anything when I did a sit up, and I couldn’t hold myself in a push up any longer. It was very discouraging at the gym. Then the weight came on. I knew if I could fix the muscles I would enjoy the gym again.
I was quoted $15k for tummy tuck with lipo. His coordinator is extraordinary!!! She makes you feel like you’re the only patient when I know she’s working with multiple women all day long. I booked my surgery for May.
During my pre op appointment I met with the doctor and was so nervous I didn’t ask any questions. The appointment was 5 mins. He took photos and off I went. The next night I started having panic attacks. The surgery was in 10 days. I called Robyn to let her know I was NOT ready. She scheduled for me to come back to the office (so kind). This time the doctor spent 30 minutes going over my concerns and discussing my goals. He didn’t try to “sell” me on moving forward. He spent time with me so I could get to know him a little better and understand what would go on. My nerves were much better. I was ready. I was so ready that the day of surgery I was encouraging ladies in the weighting room with me.
Surgery day went smooth. I was nervous about being put under. The nurse chatted with me and did my IV. After that I was OUT. I woke up and couldn’t believe it was over. I kept asking the nurse if it was time for surgery and she laughed. She told me I was done. My husband picked me up. I went home with leg squeezers. Everything was awesome! I didn’t have much pain from the procedure. I took my pain meds for 4 days. My back was the most pain from being hunched. I walked at a snails pace for 2.5 weeks. Once I was able to get the back pain under control I was walking 1-2 miles a day. I went to the ER once to get checked for a blood clot-but nothing was there. I had no complications to date. I’m 5 weeks post op and feeling just fine. I get to start working out this upcoming week and I’m ecstatic.
I did not wait until I hit my goal weight to do the procedure. I’m 20lbs away from my goal and I did research. I knew that losing weight wouldn’t hurt my results too bad. Plus—it’s a huge motivator to have a very tight waist when working out. The surgery was so successful that I’m comfortable in my skin at this size too. The big belly is gone. The muscle are in front of me now. It’s weird. I laugh and I can feel muscles instead of a whole.
Swelling is real. Recovery is 6months to a year. I get lymphatic massages every week. Jungle, Grace Massage studio was fantastic with post surgery massage. I saw Christina and she always looked at my incisions, wore gloves, and gave reminders to help with recovery. She could tell if I forgot to drink my water!
I think that’s it. Get the surgery!
