Well let's just say I've been jumping all around realself trying to decide what I want to have done. I get all excited about a procedure then I go do a ton of research an change my mind. So first it was a BBL way to much recovery an too many horror stories I passed. Then I thought smart lipo went to the consultation the. Started seeing more reviews on the doctor I chose an realized not only was he not certified by the American board of plastic surgery all the reviews he had on realself no one said it was worth it they mostly said "not sure" so I passed. Well the weird thing is while I was at the smart lipo consult the nurse that assist the doctor told me she had her breast done by DR Hand an I wondered all the way home why would you go to a Dr 70 miles away to get your surgery instead of the doctor you work for?!?! So yea alarm bells were going off. I found out this smart lipo guy was also a family medicine DR just doing smart lipo um no.

So today I had my consultation with DR Hand he was awesome his staff was awesome he is certified by the American Board of Plastic surgery an kept it 100 with me. He said lipo of any sort would not work for me and he wouldn't do it. He said he is not in this business for the money he is an artist an likes to sculpt the body. He showed me my trouble areas an made suggestions a re-vision to my tummy tuck. I had one about 6-7 years ago an then popped out another baby. I have this pocket of fat over my vagina which I hate an my husband refers to as a fat monkey an my friends call it a fupa. DR hand assured me we would get rid of my fat monkey lol his exact words and lower my existing scar an tighten my belly. I've seen his work an his website does it no justice. His office manager wrote me up a quote with a discount of $1,000 which is awesome!!! Partial for being military I'm a vet an partial for having it in his clinic an not the hospital which is actually right next door. I'm overly excited only have to put down $250 to hold my surgery date an then pay in full by my post op date. Ugh I have the money but it's for my kids Disney World vacation in March so I refuse to touch it. I get a bonus at the end of the month for $5000 so I just need the rest but I think I'll just finance through care credit an just make payments we shall see.

Your doctor sounds a lot like mine.  He refused to do the lipo I had asked for.  He stated a tummy tuck is what I needed and he wouldn't do any less.  I am glad for the honesty because my results were amazing.  I can't wait to see your new tummy when you are done.

Yea I'm glad he was honest there seems to be a shortage sometimes of honest PS when I read some of these reviews. I'd rather him tell me the truth as opposed to just taking my money an I walk out looking the same way I did walking in ....no Bueno

Well I renetly had a lock placed on my credit due to some identity theft so with that lock no one can apply for anything using your social security number. Well I removed the lock but I have to wait a few days in order to apply for anything and my plan is to apply for care credit to finance my surgery I have awesome credit so I do hope there are no issues. My DR that I have chosen says I just need to do a $250 deposit on my to an as long as the rest is paid in full prior to my pre-op date I'm good. I'm wondering though if I'm doing too much before my vacation. I plan to have surgery on the 11/12 of Feb an we go to Otlando on the 11 of March. The DR says I should be fine as I heal very well and I'm not doing the muscle tighting on my abdomen but I am doing the tt. I'm going to have my husband take some before pics of me today an get them posted so that my entire journey is documented.

Ok so these are my before pics. My PS does not like that extra fat over my private area the fat monkey,mon or fupa whatever it's called these days lol. I have some extra fat in my belly an sides. He also does not like how high my scar was from my first tt which was about 7 years ago but I've had another kid since then. Also my belly button is so tight I can't even see inside of it an water gets trapped in it after showers so I constantly have to keep it clean an dry with a q-tip. So these ads my before. I just put my deposit down today so surgery is on the 12th of Feb I have my pre op on the 2 Feb I'm so excited!!
