Hey everyone, I'm having a tummy tuck together...

Hey everyone, I'm having a tummy tuck together with a Brazilian butt lift at the same time May 11th 2012. I'm 30 with 3 daughters ages 7,8,10. I've wanted a tuck since I had the 1st child. I'm nervous to have the 2 procedures done at the same time but doc does zoo much lipo during a tummy tuck that they prefer to just put it in the butt then and there. Im also nervous of the pain but want the results more. I chose my PS due to the success women have had on this site. I check his background and I'm confident in my choice. The next 3 months will fly by I'm sure.

3 DAY POST-OP: just had my massage with celia, i feel good right now. i took 1 percocet an hour before massage. massage felt good till she reached my back cause i have most swelling there so it wlow,as very tender and sore. im still in just a binder, i think i get cg wednesday which is also my 2nd massage and 2nd follow up with dr. i may try to just take tylenol and see how i feel and jus percocet at night. pain is minimal and nausea is gone since yesterday. now i have heartburn but that should go away when off percocet. im actually surprised at how good i feel, i was expecting the worse. i eat about everyother time i get up, its not much but must keep eating. apetite getting better. i also go peepee everytime i get up, no bm yet just pass gas. butt is still like a rock. my tt scar is really low and thin, the usual swelling and bruising. overall im very happy. just taking it day by day

9 DAYS POST-OP
TT- ok i'm now having mixed emotions. my tummy is super swollen so right now i cant be happy about it. It was super flat day 1 n 2 now is like a basketball so i know it will be flat again just have to be patient with my body. No pain just soreness in muscles when like getting off/on the bed, random spasms and shooting paing. both drains come out tomorrow. Still only in binder, get cg for sure tomorrow
