I Have Waited Years for This...

WORTH IT$10,853
I am very excited but very nervous about my upcoming tummy tuck. I am scheduled for April 1, 2021. Just 2 weeks away! How do I get myself to stop thinking about all the bad stuff that can happen? I have dreamed about this day for so long and now I am kinda pissing myself off with all the negative thoughts!

My date is April 8th, the hard part will be during my 14 day self quarantine. It’s only natural to be nervous... try sweating out via workout or meditation to help calm your nerves. Just think if we are going to go at least it will be pain free and we did it trying to fulfill our dreams. My plan is just to keep myself busy with food prep and making sure all my errands and loose ends are wrapped up so that I am less of a burden on my family

You gotta remember that just living a day in the life is full of risks. Try to focus on the outcome you want. I’m so excited for you. For what it’s worth you look great already imo but I understand the desire to be better, trust me. Good luck!

I'm scheduled for a Mommy Makerover on April 7th and I'm feeling the same nerves and excitement! It's helped me to look at the before and after galleries and reading about others experiences on this site. It keeps me excited and realizing these procedures are performed daily without issues. I know we'll both be glad we did it! Good luck!!

After meeting with him yesterday I feel sooooo much better! I am excited now! I have been looking at bikinis and clothes and I don't even know how to shop without picking things to disguise my belly!

Hi, I had tummy tuck, with lipo 360 on March 27th. While it has been a painful struggle, I know it was well worth all of it....I saw immediate results to my body and I love it already. I am excited to see the results. Just remember you will need help for a time.

Where to begin... my recovery has been as easy as I believe to be possible... Dr. Lindsey's special way of injecting the pain blocker exparel during surgery is truly amazing bc I have had no pain, just some discomfort. I could have def gone without prescription pain meds. My results so far are wonderful and I am so happy that I did this! I am back at work today and feeling pretty good. I have some swelling and bloating which is a bit uncomfortable but nothing to keep me from working being I'm an accountant. Pics are from day 7 post op, I got my drains taken out 8 days post op. Even though I am super swollen and bloated I am down 3.5" on my waist, 5.25" on my hips and 2.75" on my chest.
