I was just browsing other tummy tucks and I reminded me how the disappointment feeling never goes away.
Almost 53 years old soon and I am still reminded of a lousy results every day. Choose the surgeon wisely ladies. Bring lots of wish photos and never rush it. Here is a summer photo taken late August 2019 at 130 lbs my happy summer ideal weight. Nothing has changed!! BTW I never did the cool sculpting.

Decisions... Decisions.... Cool Sculpting or NOT that is the question??

Decisions... decisions... I have had 4 consultation all together about Cool Sculpting, 2 in the USA and two here in Beirut, Lebanon where I am at on vacation. I have seen dozens of videos about CS procedure, I have read every single story here in Realself, if something goes wrong, it can even be life threatening. I know, I realize, I am obsessed with my belly!! I stopped sweets after my last follow up tummy tack back in February. I am 5 4", size 4, I am down to 127lbs and these freaking bulges upper and lower they don't go any where!! Isn't why I had a tummy tack to begin with?
It makes mad and really up set that plastic surgeons don't get the emotional roller coaster they sent us on when procedures go to hell. It doesn't stop with the fact that I came out pretty much the same way I went in... I continue to work out 5 times a week, I have stopped classes and I am doing weight Sculpting with a trainer, I have to say, the only part of my body with zero results is my belly!! No use, it is all stubborn fat under the fascia, which again is why people gets TT to begin with, right??
Now, I can't make the decision to have cool sculpting done or not. I am scare, in fact I am petrify that some thing would go wrong or once again I am going to spend time, effort and money and come out the same. In the States they want $4,800 for 8 applicator, here in Lebanon 8 applicators as well for $2,500 USD. Please ladies, what would you do? It is like my brain says yes do it, but my gut tells me: "you know better, listen to me"... what would you do? Help!!

Doctor Driscoll is an amazing surgeon, piece of art my incision (not even, but I am alive) after only two weeks, but for what ever reason my TT turned out sour. His staff is superior, kind and caring. Newton Welleslley Hospital the best. I don't know what else to say. I am sad, disappointed, up set, at time outrage that things turn out so poorly. UP DATE AFTER LAST FOLLOW UP 2/15/17 No warranties or guarantees with Dr. Driscoll. Be aware it is what it is, "you get what you get, don't get up set". Never mind if patient is happy with results or not. You are on your own after surgery.
