[00:00:00] Okay, my name is Tommy Montgomery and I am from Rancho Cucamonga, California. And I am a high school physical education teacher. I’ve been a teacher for seven years, and I’m also a wife and a mother of two children.

So when [00:00:15] I met Tommy Montgomery, she was a very motivated patient. She was a 31 year old PE teacher. She was very, very active in CrossFit. She also was a mother of two children.

CrossFit is something. I actually just got into it recently. I started doing CrossFit, just the beginning [00:00:30] of this year and it is been life-changing for me. The hardest workout that I’ve done so far was a hundred pull-ups. A hundred push-ups, a hundred air squats and it was intense.

She’s a clear example of a very fit mother [00:00:45] who did everything she could to transform her body back to her pre-pregnancy State. However, she came to me and she had separation of her abdominal muscles from the pregnancies.

I do feel that I am a pretty healthy person [00:01:00] comes to being active and my eating as active as I am. And as healthy as I do eat, I still have issues with my body and one of those issues is my stomach. I can do sit-ups, I can eat the right things drink as much water as I’m supposed to and more, [00:01:15] my stomach just was not going away.

I will often work with my general surgery colleagues in order to do a combined surgery in our plan was to fix any separation of her muscles and a possible hernia repair and [00:01:30] along with an abdominoplasty, even with diet and exercise, the separation of muscles cannot be corrected and therefore a mommy makeover, such as this which addresses the abdomen, is a perfect solution for very motivated, ambitious [00:01:45] patients such as Tommy.

I actually heard about dr. Park through another plastic surgeon, and he did not feel comfortable with the surgery, and he recommended Dr. Park. So, our plan was to proceed with an abdominoplasty or recovery was out [00:02:00] landing and again, those that do exercise tend to recover quicker. I know now that my confidence will be a hundred percent better than it was in the gym at work walking around.

I would [00:02:15] say after this surgery, if I had to do it all over again, I would, it’s made me feel like a better person and for my husband, I’m getting emotional.

Right at around two, to three weeks, I let her do some light exercise, of course, I [00:02:30] limited her from the excessive CrossFit type exercise until she was about six weeks out from surgery at six weeks, she was back in action, doing her CrossFit and her abdominal musculature, and her contour was very well [00:02:45] restored.
