Since I had children, I have been on an uphill battle to lose my extra stomach that came along with my bundles of joy. It was getting to the point where I didn't want to go out, I didn't want to see anyone, I was becoming a shell of the outgoing person I once was.
Then I heard a commercial on the radio for Sono Bello and I knew I had to check it out. I started researching and from what I found out I made a consult appt. that day.
I was scared to have the procedure done but as soon as I walked into the office the butterflies in my stomach subsided. The reception staff was so friendly and welcoming. I did not feel judged at all. Then after my consult I knew I was going to have the procedure. She was so kind and patient with me, listening to everything I had to say and reassuring me with answers to my questions.
The day of my surgery came and I was very scared. Having a procedure done while you're awake isn't a very calming thought! The nurse brought me back and helped get me ready. She was so funny, while still being professional, she put me at ease right away.
Dr. Patel performed the surgery and did a fabulous job! The best part was that it was not painful! I felt the instruments moving a little bit and that was all. They have music on if you want it and converse with you to keep the mood ""light"". Before I knew it, it was over.
The nurses stepped in again and did not let me out of their sight until I was in the passenger seat of my friends vehicle!
Dr. Patel and the nurses phoned me a few times the next couple of days to make sure I was doing ok. Then it was time for my follow up visit. They took the after pictures and compared them to my before. . I was speechless, I couldn't believe what a difference there was and that was when I was still swollen!!! I was so happy. Of course the swelling has gone down even more now and I feel wonderful! It was the kick start I needed to get serious about taking care of my body. My clothes are fitting me again and I feel my self-confidence coming back
The nurses and everybody I met in the office were incredibly kind and caring. I'm considering having another procedure done!
Two thumbs up to all the staff at Tacoma Sono Bello!! Thanks to each and every one of you :)
