New pics! Glad to have gotten it done!!! Annapolis, MD

Tomorrow is my surgery! I am getting a full tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and lift. I am nervous and cant sleep. I keep telling myself it cant be as bad as childbirth, right??? I had 2 huge babies that have messed my body all up! My boobs are saggy and after the second baby i have the skin flap over my underwear. I dont want my husband to see my boobs the way they are and forget wearing a two piece!! I did want to be down to my pre-pregnancy weight but I am still about ten pounds over. I had my second child in February.

Im hoping this tummy tuck will give me more confidence to wear what i want. (same for breast augmentation) My only real fear is that my boobs will be way to big... Said i wanted d's and currently a b/c. One breast is bigger than other, so happy this will be fixed!!!

This is the day after surgery and I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I wasn't expecting so much pain...I knew there was going to be, but didn't know this much! My husband has been really good about taking care of me. He even combed my hair and brushed my teeth for me!I have to get up every 3 hours and blow into some device. I am having an extreme hard time getting out of bed, so I think I'm going to start sleeping on the couch. When my husband was downstairs, I slipped in bed flat and then it was extremely hard getting out. I wanted to cry. I don't have any drains, so I don't have to worry about that. I'm just wearing a compression device over my boobs and stomach.

Today when I went to the office for the check up they said I can't shower for a week...wow...I'm already a little stinky. I had to take a [RS bleep] bath and spray some good smelling stuff on me to disguise the stink. I looked at my stomach and boobs, and was shocked how I looked. My stomach looked a lot flatter even though it was swollen. My boobs are huge, so I keep thinking they are still swollen and will go down some. My husband is happy about that one.

Day of surgery I did feel worse, so I guess I'm getting a little better each day. I bought some zip up house dress off ebay since I didn't have anything that zipped or buttoned up that was loose. I was shocked to hear from the nurse that some people wear jeans coming home. (ouch!) Everyone was really nice at the office, especially the recovery nurse. I have my period which makes my life more complicated. I bought some depends, but trying to just keep the pads under me and go to the bathroom frequently because I don't want to have to worry about pulling the underwear down. (Day after I put pad in underwear since I felt better)

Day of surgery I had a quick decision change. I was supposed to get silicone boobs, but I changed my mind to saline. An hour before I asked my friend why she got her boobs (redone). She had the first ones taken out, and had to get a second set. She told me she had silicone at first, and she was miserable. She thought they were too heavy. She worked at a plastic surgery OR and told me everyone in the room was agreeing with her that I should get saline. I was not aware that if silicone busts while in your body that it is a very time consuming, hard process getting all the silicone out. So I think I made the right decision....

I am 33, 160 pounds at 5'3"...hoping to be 145 after recovery and more diet and exercise!
