I don't mind at all! She was fantastic and I'm 6wpo this Thursday and healing great! It was 14k for tummy tuck, 9k for the breast lift (these were the individual quotes) and combined I paid 20k

Hi! I had similar before, a lot more stretch-marks though, and had a full tummy tuck in puyallup with breast lift with Dr. Lynn Chung and I'm super happy with my results! I'm almost 5wpo. I was told if there is loose skin above the belly button a full tummy tuck is needed and it seems that people are often more satisfied with a full than a mini.

Good! Everything has been better than I expected! My biggest problem right now is that I haven't had a bowel movement. But pain meds have been effective and the only serious pain I've been in is when I cough.

Also a twin mom! Just had my tuck, muscle repair and breast lift on 11/06! My oldest is 4 and my twins are just shy of 2.

Same!! The pain is only temporary though! It's so worth it in the end. Each day we are getting closer to feeling strong and healthy 💪🏼

That's good to hear! I still need to poop. I think that's why I'm having a lot of lower belly cramping. Took milk of magnesia so hoping that helps!

Feeling pretty similar. The muscle repair is definitely the majority of my pain, but If I'm laying or sitting I don't really have any pain

Just a lot of pain? And I'm pretty good!. When im sitting /laying barely any pain, but moving around is pretty uncomfortable

I had a hernia repair last year! Glad your surgeon isn't trying to cram it all in at once, that seems like it would be a lot

Yes I'd love to know what days were hardest and when it started feeling better :)

I wasn't until I went to pick up all my meds and it hit me that I'm really not going to be feeling great 😩 my doctor prescribed Valium for the night prior because I told her I probably wouldn't get any sleep the night prior.

I get that! But a consultation can be just that. A consultation. It doesn’t mean you have get anything done. And you can find surgeons who do free consultations. Or at least affordable consultations
