Dream Come True
I’m 28 years old with 3 children ranging from 6 years old to 10 years old. My tummy was stretched and left saggy with stretch marks after my first child. Even tho my stomach was flat I did have saggy skin. I lived with this for 10 years. I’m a confident women but putting on a bathing suite or even a bikini I hated the way my stomach looked. I had lipo twice but it didn’t take away my saggy tummy. I later looked into a TT. Jolie was not my first choice and deciding on who would do my tummy tuck. My first choice was spectrum in Miami. I went through the process with spectrum paid my deposit and right at a couple weeks before surgery I had my blood done in Atlanta and spectrum called me stating my playlets where way to low to perform the procedure and they immediately refunded me my deposit. I was very sad and discouraged and felts since they denied me I had no hope. Luckily my mom had been looking into the same procedure and she ran across Jolie and gave me there info to try with them. I immediately sent my info to them and explained what happened at spectrum and they forwarded my blood results to the doctor and I was contacted and told I could still have the procedure. I was very excited at that point. I then sent them my deposit and first I scheduled to have my procedure at the end of January. I contacted them the beginning of January. I kind of got really nervous about it due to hearing so many stories of people being in bad pain when having a tummy tuck so I thought it was too soon and rescheduled for the end of March. I felt that would give me time to relieve my anxiety. I also begin to research more on TT and read people reviews as well as YouTube videos.
As time got closer I began to feel better and Jolie kept in contact with me on getting my labs done etc. my surgery coordinator was angelic. She was always very nice when speaking to her although it was kind of hard to get in contact with her ASAP but she would call back at least by the end of day or the next day.
Counting down to the days I begin to feel very excited and anxious and just wanted to get it over with. Also my mom scheduled her surgery the same day as me so I felt better and not alone.
Jolie facility was ok although when arriving it didn’t really look like a surgery center to me and it was so many women there I started to think it was a club. Lol
The staff there is all Spainsh other then the doctors. It was kind of hard understanding them as well as most of them didn’t speak and kind of didn’t make me feel welcomed but I just went with the flow. When going in some women are there for pre op appointments and some are there fornpost opp. So there is a mixture. You can see the women who have had surgery the day before and speak to them about their experience so that was good. I went in got measeured and weighed and purchased my binder which was 120$ but much cheaper on amazon.
So March 29 was my surgery day.
My appt was at 630am I got called back maybe at 7am to undress and do my drug screening and pregnancy test
After doing my test I was told I couldn’t have the procedure that day because I tested positive for Amphetamin in my system.
My mom was able to do hers and she really did great at her age of 42. She was walking using the bathroom eating etc. she said the pain wasn’t bad her stomach just felt sore and tight. She did get sick off the pain medicines due to she doesn’t drink nor take any toe of drugs. The medicine had her feeling dizzy sweating bad and nauseous. So after the first pain pill she didn’t take anymore only Tylenol. Back to me
I thought that was odd that showed up in my system due to me not taking or being on any medicines due to me knowing you can’t take anything leading up to surgery. At that point I thought maybe this was a sign from god I didn’t need to be getting surgery.
This almost brought me to tears considering I was so prepared to get this surgery over with.
But I was told that I could retest Saturday and they would put me on the schedule for April 1st and that gave me time to drink plenty of water pineapple juice and apple cider vinegar to clean my system.
So Saturday I retested and was negative
This made me very happen but the whole weekend I drank nothing but water and pineapple juice to continue to clean my system.
Monday April 1st came and it was time.
I retested everything was negative.
I went in at at 9am and they didn’t take me back until 11am. Once laying on the table and the anthesologist put something in my iv and told me it would calm me I was out like light. I woke up at about 2pm assuming I was in surgery for about 2 hours. The nurses where nice gave me Gatorade called my ride helped me with my dress on and I was up and out. They gave me 3 prescriptions one for pain nausea and antibiotics and told me to return the next day for post opp.
I’m feeling fine I can walk etc
I haven’t seen my tummy but I’m excited to see it tomorrow
I have already saw my moms and hers look great
I do have one drain pack my mom has 2
Right now I can say on day 1 my stomach really feels right and sore like I did a million crunches
But it doesn’t hurt bad like I thought it would due to everyone’s opinion and advice
So what I can say is don’t believe all of what you hear everyone recovery isn’t the same at all
Tomorrow I’ll upload pics of my results but today I’ll upload what my tummy looked like before surgery
