Only 2 Days Until My Tummy Tuck!!



Recommended Posts

So excited!!! I'm doing a Tummy Tuck with full muscle repair and a breast lift and augmentation.

My PS does the full muscle repair and then goes back in and sutures the muscles corset style. He said it gives a more defined waist line. He also uses the no drain technique and I'm getting a pain pump.

I've wanted this for so long now! I must admit though, I had to take a deep breath when I went to pay for it all last week.eek.gif I know it will be worth it though.

If I could be so crude to ask.....What is the cost of your procedure? Inquiring minds want to know! :)

So jealous! I think its finally hit me after six years that things aint getting any better, that last few lb is not going to make the difference, lol.

Very best of luck, hope its easy to recover from, and I'm sure you'll be thrilled with the results.

Thanks everyone! I live in a small town. It's only costing me $11,500 total. At the closest BIG city to me it's $10k for JUST a tummy tuck.o__O

I'll update as soon as I can.

Best wishes to you. Hope all goes smoothly (and flatly too - as in tummy flat!).

Let us know how you're doing afterwards.

Take care.

I made it! I got my TT and breast implants yesterday. I was given a lot of Phenergan so I've been really sleepy and that's been the worst of it so far. I got a pain pump for my belly and so far I haven't taken any pain meds at all. Hopefully I can keep that up.

Glad to hear it's going so well. No pain meds - WOW! I hate taking them because of nausea but I was on them for at least a week.

Look forward to seeing updates. Hope you continue to do so well.

Take care.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
