Re: tummy tucks and hernia repair=Heidi

[Guest guest]

Heidi,

My tt and hernia repair was done in Jan of 2003 and didn't get

well until May of that year.Most heal up quickly,not my case..lol

I have Medicare/medical if I hadn't had the hernia I would not

of been able to get the tt.I had to have pictures take of the

arms and eyes before Medicare would approve of it.My arms were

very flabby and my upper eye lids were almost covering my eyes,

I could see them..lol I am sure dr.k put mesh for the hernia,

and he is the one that did my arms also.Dr.Dev in Bakersfield

was the one that did my eyes for me and I never had the black

eyes,he was sooo good,and great looking..lol

Good luck and God bless,

Pat
