Hello All,
As I’ve been spending some time back on forums choosing my surgeon for a tummy tuck, I thought I’d stop by and donate a little payback by answering some of your questions (to the best of my ability).
As seen above I used Dr E Ortiz.
My rating is as follows:
OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 10/10
SURGERY 10/10
RESULTS 10/10
At surgery: 200lbs Lowest: 125lbs Year 3: 150lbs Year 4: 140lbs
*taking off the weight is the easy part ....... keeping it off is the hard part.
