After 4 Kids, Finally Hoping to Get my Body Back - Anchorage, AK

I'm one week out from getting an abdominoplasty, breast lift, and flank liposuction. I'm very nervous about the downtime and the pain, but also very excited too! I weigh 134 and wear a 34d size bra. Hoping that it might go down to a C cup after the extra skin is removed in the lift. I consider this a functional surgery-- my significant diastasis recti is limiting my workouts and I'm also really tired of having to wear multiple sports bras when I run. But I'm psyched that I'll look better too.

It was probably the best surgery experience I could have had! I'm home resting and keeping up on pain meds. So far so good.

That is the plan I don't have a surgery date yet but my consult is June 3rd and I plan to get the soonest surgery she has open. But I plan on implants, lift, and tummy tuck. :). I'm so excited. Hope your getting plenty of rest to heal :)

Congrats! Fleet suppositories work well, I also used mirilax with apple juice in the morning and colace after lunch. Being regular, I think helps keep the swelling down. Good luck. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thank you. It took forever for my bladder to wake up, and I'm definitely on poop watch now ;) I got peri-colace but might need to send someone outfit a regular stool softener.

This healing experience has definitely been better than I thought. Meds are keeping me really confortable. My husband has been wonderful. I can get up to to go the bathroom with very little discomfort. It's mostly the lipo on my back that is tough (super bruising), but I'm starting to feel where my inxision is too. I could only catch a teeny peek under my bandages. I've got my first postop today too.
All I can hope for today is a good checkup, lots more rest, and maybe a poop. I took peri-colace last night

Congratulations! How long is the recovery time? Also, if you don't mind me asking,what are those little tubes that are sticking out for? I am thinking of getting a mommy makeover and I also live in Alaska.
