oh wow buktus, well done ! Can't wait to see the pics

hi Buktus,

So glad to hear you are Ok and recovering well!
I, like Kidstrack, found it more painful than a c-section. You must be made of sterner stuff than me!
Sorry i haven't replied earlier but my computer has been playing up and Mumsnet has been very slow and taking ages to find pages.
I remember that tight feeling!
You will remember what i said about pushing a buggy won't you?
Don't overdo it too soon! sorry for nagging!

i have stopped taking the pain killers now as its just a tight feeling but no bad pain - a week to go till the dressings come off

Really cheeky questions and please don't answer if you dont want to but....

Where in the South did you have it done??

and

Approx how much did it cost??

I have had two sections and really want to get rid of my kangaroo pouch.

Sorry Sussex, dodgy typing

theshrimp · 14/11/2006 22:01

hi flumpybumpy,
i had a tummy tuck and lipo done by Peter Arnestein at the Mcindoe centre in East Grinstead.
He did a fab job and they looked after me well.

no mine was the west sorry, i went for the surgeon that does private patients only as some still work for nhs, i didnt have lipo though only my tummy done, i started by looking at the closest hospitals and then researching those surgeons - i firstly tried bupa and bmi hospitals
