I complained for 3 solid years that I wanted a TT - when my father passed and left me some money, my husband insisted i get the TT - the doctor said i had an umbilical hernia that needed repair, so that was the push I needed to get it done. I'm still pretty swollen, but can see a big difference. I'm sure I'll have no regrets.

Greetings all. It has been a long time since I posted. 1 year ago (approximately) I had a Tummy Tuck & an upper body lift. I have had some wound issues with a spot in between my belly button and pubic area that just does not see to want to heal properly. The plastic surgeon has tried numerous things, even went to a wound care dr. and it healed up, but then it will eventually split back open. Anyone else have any similar issues?
I would like to help you but you cant fix stupid.
For my tummy tuck I used CareCredit/2 year/No Interest and paid it back in 7 months. Using CareCredit again, same deal for my BL and Mons fix on 3/2/18(and going to try to pay off soonest, if able).

I am scheduled for a LBL and BL tomorrow morning with Dr. Joseph Michaels in D.C. I have to be there at 5:30am and surgery is scheduled for 7:30am and should last 11 hours.
I live in NY so we had a long drive down yesterday. Today I went and got a DEXA scan so I'd have one done right before surgery. My body fat percentage is 19% total and 17% in my trunk/abdomen so it was nice to see I'm ready from a weight stand point for surgery.
My husband I had lunch at Jaleo (an amazing Spanish restaurant) and now we're at the hotel. The nerves are really starting to kick in now that all the things we had planned are out of the way except for surgery. 24 hours from now will be very different!

I took out a loan against my 401k, so now I'm paying myself back. Absolutely worth it for the results I've received.
