18 Days After Abdominoplasty And Love It!

I've lost 170 lbs and just had my tummy tuck here in Houston. I was prepared for lots of pain but it hasn't been bad at all. I went back to work after 10 days (half days only). I still have a drain in and I'm having to try to take it easy. That's been the hardest part. I'm going to Mexico for the rest of my work but didn't want to risk getting the biggest part done so far from home.

The tt has changed my life! I can now wear cute underwear for the first time since being a teenager! And omg, belts! I just bought a couple and can't wait to go shopping!

Holy cow you look amazing!!! I can't wait until I'm closer to goal so I can get that done!

Your surgeon has done an amazing job, i was like you i was surprised how little actual pain there was .. i wish you a speedy recovery, my scars arent as neat as yours are as i am older and was a lot heavier :) u had a good waistline even before the abdomino !

You look incredible! Congrats!!

You look incredible!!! I cannot wait to be where you are!!!

Great results!

You look fabulous. If you don't mind me asking, who is your surgeon? Take care & enjoy!

Awesome, congrats!

My surgeon was Camille Cash here in Houston. She really is incredible. The total cost with all fees was $10,200.

Thanks so much for the info. I'm not down enough yet but llooking ahead. I live in Austin so Houston would work.

You look wonderful! You're a great inspiration!

You look amazing Karen....I know I already told you that...lol Ouch your cost was spendy...but looks so worth it!! What you paid for TT...is same price for my LBL, lipo and inner thigh lift with Dr Q. When will you be going to Cosmed??

I'm hoping to go in August. I don't have a date yet. Need to get them the down payment. Yeah, it was more in Houston for my stomach than it would have my my stomach and breast lift with dr Quiroz, but I was nervous and didn't want to travel so far. I don't have anyone to with me. The other things will be a breeze and I see now that I could have done this in Mexico and been able to travel. Let me know how it goes.

Hi Karen, you look wonderful. I did my tt and breast lift 2 years ago and I also feel it changed my life. I just did brachioplasty 12 days ago.... Now I'm done. But I like these results too. But like you my stomach was the bigger issue and I wanted that taken care.

Take care,

Josie
