Default I'm home from my tummy tuck

It went great - no more Sharpei puppies in my lap! although I have pain - it's managable and I would do it all over again.

I have some before pics - I'll post them with the after pics as soon as I take them!!

Love to you all!!

Default glad you wrote an update

I am getting ready to have my plastic surgery. It is at the insurance company now for approval (hope it goes through the first time) documentation, documentation, documentation. Start a year before you have to apply. It will help. Let your family doctor look at your skin and note and sores, iritations and such, it will help if the insurance co fights the approvals. cant wait for mine to be approved. it is a long haul to get here and the journey is almost over.
Now quetions. Does it hurt, yes i am worried about that. I want to be back to work as soon as possible. good luck and heal scarless.
