Omg Finding the Right PS is Worse Than Buying a House!!!!! - Atlanta, GA

ORIGINAL POST

My name is Regina and I have been in need of a TT...

Regina77198March 14, 2013
WORTH IT$12,000

My name is Regina and I have been in need of a TT 4 kids ago and my oldest is 11. I have separated stomach muscles and I have wrinkle extra skin on my abd which is soooo not cute. I have done everything and spent thousands of dollars on gimmicks to tighten the skin, exercise like crazy and the stomach looks the same with absolutely no change! Ugggg... I am a nurse so I am being very selective in finding a PS. We only have one body and want it to be sculpted without looking crazy, but sexy. Ifound one that has good bedside manner then his results are suspect. I check the reviews and half are horrible and the other half are great. Omg I am so confused. Finding a PS is worse than buying a house. I have saw 7 PS and got 6 more to see and all of them have their ups and downs so how am I going to choose the one who is going to make me fabulous again????? I am in Atlanta ga where their are PS at every corner and I cannot find 1. Any recommendations whether it be a PS or a way to find MY PS?????? FYI I want it April 2013. I got a consult with Dr jimmerson 5/7/14 really!!!! and also i want to stay close to atlanta only one hour away. Thanks in advance

Georgiaexcited, it's funny you said Youngstown cause that's exactly were I'm from. We're is your hubby from? I meet people from Ohio here almost daily. There was a Youngstown reunion here about a year ago; that's just a understanding how many Ohio people it is here. I moved to Columbus Ohio after HS and that is the Area code 614. Got to keep my Ohio number lol

I met with him but I'm so nervous about it not bring right I'm freaking out!!!! I only have one body abd I don't think it's asking too much for a flat abd with curves. I do not want to wake up and I still got skin or a box shape or even a buldge at the top of my stomach..... In sooooooo scared but I got to have it!

I still feel like I look like a box not curvy like the other ladies naked I see on here I guess we are our worst critics. My abs are really flat but of course I'd like them flatter so I can't wait to get in the gym at 12 weeks to start my 6 pack! I feel you on that though make sure you inquire about lipo at the top for the bulge because my swelling does go up there and it looks bulgy but other than that it's fine. Good luck! :)

Hey forgot to tell you to prepare your belly for surgery, you can also massage the area everyday with coconut or olive oil. The better your skin is before surgery, the better it will heal after surgery.

I purchased a lot of stuff I didn't use be sure to get all the meds your doctor prescribes. The day of surgery I had to take my prescriptions with me and wore a sweat suit that zipped up the front along with slide on shoes nothing else as for as home you're not going to have an appetite right afterwards so get protein shakes, granola bars, something simple to coat your stomach. No needs for anything to put on the incision because you will be taped for a few weeks just pillows to keep you comfortable and a recycliner was my best friend. Be sure to avoid salt and get low sodium crackers if you think you'll be nauseaous. Someone to assist you for 2-3 days is also a plus you won't need much I still have new items wish I had kept receipt.

I thought I have been updating my profile now I see I have been neglectful. Lol.

My surgery is this Friday!!! I am so nervous yet anxious. I am scared I won't like the results but I am praying that I will love the results. I'm getting BL, BA, and TT! Uggg so much but the hubby will only let me do this once, so I'm going all out.

I wish I did not have to get a BL but whatever makes them look the best. I least care about the scars but more about the symmetrical aspect AND I want them to look natural. I got 450 to 500 on standby because I want a nice big size but I am hoping its not ridiculous. I am hoping they not too heavy, and I'm still trying to see the diff between HP an mod plus.

2 days til countdown. Keep me I. You all prayers. Happy recovery to those on the other side......

I know you're probably in la la land going under the knife see you on the flat side!!! Text me when you feel up to it which will probably not be for a few days. Hope you don't feel too much pain.

Regina77198April 24, 2013
Ok so today is wed and I had my surgery fri, so I'm 5 day post op and I feel soooo swollen. I have been told I look good but I feel like a pig in a blanket. I have not taken pain meds since mon at 5pm because there is no pain just pressure. Pressure like being engorged after having a baby, so that is uncomfortable but not painful. The only regret I have is getting the BA so big. I do not know what I was thinking going with 500?!:( now all I can think about is if they too big after swelling down is revision and to be thinking that already is driving me crazy. But healing is going good I would say. My husband has been a jewel, and has catered to me so hopefully I continue to a speedy recovery!

Posh always I will be doing all I can to get my pics up by tomorrow night. I have many but can't download from my phone so got to get on the computer and do it but that has been the furthest thing from my mind... But I want all to see and share in my happiness. I am overly pleased with my results. Dr colgrove is cool and he listens and answers ALL your questions every time. Since I wanted a BA and BL plus TT with MR I needed to find a good PS. I meet with 13 PS in GA before I decided on Dr Colgrove. I cannot lye he was my second choice though but my first was Dr Jimerson from TI and Tiny show who did some work on Shikinah or however you spell her name. Now when I called there my consult date was not until 4/7/2914!!!! Story to be continued
