I went in for a consult with my surgeon on January 29th 2013. I have been wanting to get a tummy tuck for a very long time. I am 32 years old I have two children via c-section. I gained 80lbs with first. Two years ago I had lap-band surgery and I have lost 68lbs to date. I am planning on losing another 1olbs before surgery. I was 232lbs in December 2010 I am currently 165lbs. I still see me as being large still because I have a skin apron that will not go away. Even though I am much much smaller I still look the same. I am so excited to get my surgery. He said I was a perfect candidate for a tummy tuck. I am also getting a breast lift with an Augmentation. I was a c cup before pregnancy. My breast have deflated a lot. He said I would need a lift because if you just put in an implant eventually it to will sag. With the lift this is supposed to keep them up where they belong! I can't wait to get this done. I can't even list all the improvements this will have upon my life. I am nervous about surgery, and the pain after. However I have had a number of surgeries before this so I have some idea how it will feel. I get nervous about the implants but, I do want them so I usually think that I am not the only one to have them and that they are something you get used to having! I will add pictures before surgery.

I am 23 days away from surgery! I am getting really excited. I have been losing weight. I went for my consult on 1/29/13 I was 168lbs. I am 160 today so my plans to lose at least 10lbs before surgery. So everything is falling in place. I went to the store yesterday and saw all the swim suites. I was actually excited to buy one knowing I can fit them again. I haven't been excited to get swim wear for like 15yrs. I will have my hubby take some pictures of me before surgery tonight and I will get them right up tonight.

Well I went and paid my surgeon yesterday. HOLLY COW that was the single biggest bill I have ever paid. It will be worth it though. I have 3 weeks left. I am adding some before pictures later after I get kids to school.

I have been getting depressed really badly waiting for this surgery. I am 17 days away and it seems like forever. I hate looking at myself this way knowing I will look so much better and healthier in a month from now. I cant stand to look at the damage I did to my body. Especially after uploading my before pictures wow that was horrible. I am waiting as patiently as possible to get this surgery and start this new chapter of my life.

Well I have 15 days now. I joined this site because I thought I would get info and encouragement from others like me. So far nothing. I have talked to a few people regarding their situations and what not. Maybe I haven't got anything because I have not had surgery yet. I am just going stir crazy thinking about this all the time. The only people I have to talk to about it are my sister and my hubby and I think they are getting sick of me researching and talking about my surgery all the time. I have been through other procedures so I guess this one I will make it through also. I am scared as to how hard it will be to recover but, I am always scared before surgery. I know I will get it done and make it through with flying colors. I will take all the time I need to heal and will do nothing but, rest.

I am on an antibiotic for a sinus infection. my GD wanted to make sure I got rid of it before surgery. I am going to get all the things I need for my recovery week . Thankful my hubby took the week off to care for me.

As I did Zumba today with my awesome workout partner and sister Samantha I realized I only have 5 days until surgery. I thought about exercising for the next five days. However I think I will commit to 3 and maybe do 4 days. I dont want to stress my body to much. I just got over a sinus infection and I want to be as healthy as I can to recover fast. The time has been flying by. I am going to go with my husband tonight and get a few more things I will need for the recovery.

3 days until my MM. I am super excited. I weighed in at 161 lbs today the same as yesterday. I wanted to lose 10 lbs before surgery. At consult I was 168 so I lost 7lbs instead. I am ok with that. I woke up Friday with my right shoulder and neck hurting so bad. Today the right is better but, the left is jacked up now. I have fibromyalgia so I am sure it is a flare up from my nerves waiting on this surgery.

2 days away! Getting even more anxious. I am so happy and blessed to be able to get this done. You see I am a full time nursing student. I validated for clinical in spring/summer 2012. I have some medical issues that made it really important that I get healthy and get rid of this extra skin and what not that I carry around everyday. People do not realize how hard it is to carry this around. So anyways this is why I feel blessed. I prayed when I started school that I could finish and work in the nursing field. I know I am meant to do this! I am going to be an RN and I know because my path has been blessed. I hasn't been easy and it took a lot of hard work and determination in every aspect of my life to get me where I am today! I just want to shout out loud all my blessings daily! I am so happy. My life is coming together and I am so proud of myself and my family.

So tomorrow is the day. I have to be there at 6:15 am. I am a little pissed because the facility called last week and informed me that the cost has gone up by 550 dollars. I didn't get this message until today of course. Oh well I cant turn back now, I am excited to see my new body!

It is Saturday. 3 days out I have been doped up on Valium and Vicodin. I literally have been sleeping for 80% of the time. I have not taken my Cg off per PS request. I am curious how everything looks. Like where my belly button is and what my boobies look like. I go in Tuesday and I am sure I will see everything then. Overall I am doing really well. It may be another week before I get to post after pics but, what I can see so far everything looks good I just have a lot of swelling. I am going to cut the Valium and Vicodin in half so that maybe I won't sleep as much. I am just sick of being in bed.

Ok so I am adding pics. I just got to take my binders off today and see everything for the first time. I am super swollen. I was 163 before surgery after I was 168 due to all the edema. I am done to 159 but still have at least 5-8 lbs of extra fluids I am carrying around. MY PS assures me I will be flat as can be but, it may take up to 60 days to lose the swelling. I am posting pics of me PO day 6.

I am 14 days out of surgery today. I was 163 before surgery 168 after today I am 158lbs. I am so super swollen still. I also have a slight infection in one of my drainage tubes. So due to the swelling and the infection I get to have my drainage tubes for 3 weeks. It sucks I wanted them out so I could shower normally. However I trust my doc is doing what is best for me he said I am still in my infancy of healing. It will be a long road but, is well worth it. I don't have pain unless I do to much during the day. I get tired very easily. Plus side my implants are dropping well I thought they were saggy the first week. Monday night I took a look and they had changed so much I am in love with them so proud. I will post more pics when the drainage tubes come out hopefully on April 2nd. Looking at my after pics I am still that swollen as on PO day 6.

I am canceling my account. I feel like I wasted my time and money completely. I know they say it takes up to 6 moths but, doctor said I dont have much swelling and basically this is what I got and I am not happy. Still have a pouch and my pant size hasn't even changed. I just feel like I wasted my money. He didn't even do as much as a lift as he said he was on my boobs and I feel like they are saggy. My right boob still falls to my armpit. Whatever guess you cant expect miracles. Glad so many people have had good results just wish I would have also.
Great review?
