Tina and I both had the same surgeon. He's located in La Mesa. Here is his contact info:

Dr. Charles Sarosy
Vein & Liposculpture Center

My recovery was very easy and even though I am still a bit swollen I think that when it all goes away I will be very happy with the results.

Insurance didn't cover mine but he's running a special for a full tummy tuck for $4995 plus the cost of labs and compression garments. My total cost was $5195 minus a coupon for $100 off.

You're very welcome, Tina. I'm really happy to have the opportunity to support others on this journey.

Yep, any excess gas can really show after a tummy tuck. Sometimes I can get so bloated with gas that I look like I'm 6 months pregnant!! But once you clear your intestines of gas that nice flat tummy is there again.

You look fantastic so don't be afraid to show off all your hard work!!

Same total price for me. ($5195 with $100 off coupon.) My recovery wasn't a walk in the park, but I'm sooooooooo pleased with the results. Time is really the key with this procedure. Every month gets better. Take care, and I can't wait to see your results. (I'm sure you look good already:~) Thanks to all for the compliments.
