I’m a mother of three. At 36, after birthing those children one after the other, my baby belly refused to go away. People often asked if I was pregnant again even though I wasn’t. I knew something had to change when my sister’s son asked if I had a baby in my tummy like his mother did at the time.
I soon became uncomfortable in my own skin. It reached a point where it affected how I related to people, even my husband and my kids. One of my friends suggested plastic surgery, but the idea made me nervous.
I spent a lot of time researching tummy tucks – what to expect and how they were done. I lost count of the number of blogs I read, how many videos I watched, and how many photos I looked at. When I finally decided to look up surgeons in the area, I found Dr. James Apesos’ website. It caught my attention that he was board-certified with many years of experience, and I liked that he shared before and after examples of his work. So I scheduled a consultation with him to discuss my questions and concerns.
Dr. Apesos took the time to ensure that I thoroughly understood the risks, costs, and various options available to me. When I left his office, I felt comfortable enough to move forward with the procedure. I was nervous before the surgery – then again, who wouldn’t be? But I was pleasantly surprised in the aftermath.
I couldn’t be happier with my results! My baby belly is gone, and now I feel comfortable wearing a bikini at the beach this summer. I look great, I feel great, and I’m back to who I am and who I want to be. I’m glad I went to Dr. Apesos for my tummy tuck.
