hello everyone I'm 34 yrs old I have a daughter that is 14, I have decided to get a mommy makeover, I'm getting a breast redcution and a tummy tuck done at the same time, if I'm going under must do it all at once. I have never been under the knife before so I don't know how that is going to go,I'm soooo nervice I almost talked myself out of it and then realized what the hell was I thinking lol, I want this fat, and extra skin gone. Right now for my breast reduction I'm almost a DD and I want to go down to a C my doctor said that would be fine for my weight and for how tall I am of only 5'3 and 170 pounds yuk I have never told people that just out of the blue before, but I just think of the end results.

Ok have to say I am not looking forward to the pain I'm going to tell my doctor for the best drugs possible, I have talked to some ladies and they say to get better drugs then T3's, as I am going in this thursday Oct 28 2010 for my pre appointment then he will get my list of worries, then I will find out when my surgery date is, oh god it's just around the corner. well I will update as soon as I can. And by the way this web site rocks

I went to my doctors today to see when my surgery date is and they said 4 weeks, I will know the date tomorrow when they call me. I had pictures taken, talked about how long the surgery will be he said 4 hours not to bad for what I am getting done. As for drugs he said percocets, vicodin and anti inflammitory so I'm happy my mind is at rest for now. I got asked if I wanted to stay the night in the hospital, so I'm thinking maybe but not sure if anyone has a done this before let me know. I will keep updating till my big day.

hey everyone I'm 18 days post op now and doing awesome the pain that I had was only for the first week and it was very mild. I was on oxyc for 3 days then I went to tylenol 3 for a few days and just advil for a few days and now nothing can't believe how great I feel in 18 days. I'm still wearing my binder I feel so much better with it on.

My doctor said I can start massaging my scar next week at my 3 week mark, I'm on the fence with that one cause lots of ladies have told me that their doctors say to wait a month or 6 weeks so I don't know what to do, my scar doesn't hurt at all it's raised a little bit but no much, I'm still numb from the belly button to my scar line and that is normal, my girlfriend had her tt done 9 months ago and she still a little numb so I guess we all heal differently.

My boobs are awesome they are so perky I love them so does my husbsnd lol he touched them for the first time and he said they are still big I love him he is so cute lol. anyways I'm not sure what size bra I am yet, still a little swollen but my doctor said a nice C cup so I'm good with that. I bought 2 sports bras the other day for the first time ever and they fit sooo nice, so I'm just wearing them till my swelling goes down then I will order online at Victoria Secret can't wait. I'm going to Cuba in 40 days so I need to buy all new cloths and a new swim suit but have to wait till my swelling goes down I want to shop now. And also say goodbye to the fat roll this year baby it's gone.

Thank you for posting and best of luck. Not sure you saw this, but Kimmers has posted this really helpful guide to surviving a tummy tuck under our tummy tuck section.

Brittrey86 23 Oct 2010

When is your surgrey? If I could tell you any thing it would be to not back out of it. You will be so happy once it is over! Please take before and after pictures you will be amazed at the difference.

Baby Blues 24 Oct 2010

I haven't talked to anyone that regrets having a TT. I know I am excited and nervous all at the same time. All I think about is my upcoming surgery it is in a little over 6 weeks not sure if my patience will hold out but I don't have a choice.

trena 24 Oct 2010

well I'm excited and nervous,scared about the tummy tuck other then then breast reduction and can't wait to get it over with and be a hot momma.I have read all the ladies comments on what to do before and after and I'm going to keep all this in mind. I go to the doctors this thursday and I should know when the date is, they think I would be in at the end of nov or 1st week of dec nice if they are right. We will see in a few days.

Angiemcc (Community Manager) 25 Oct 2010

I'm so glad you're able to do this for yourself. Please keep us updated on your journey to a new body.

Baby Blues 28 Oct 2010

How did your appointment go today? Just realized today was your preappointment. Just a warning I have been more restless since setting my date than I was before. It is all I think about. Before setting my date it was not such an intense thought process it was just something I want to do now that it is a reality it can't seem to get here fast enough.

trena 28 Oct 2010

hey Baby Blues my appointment went great. I got 4 weeks to go. not sure on the date they are trying to get the sooner the better date and they will be calling tomorrow to let me know.So other then the 25th of Nov or 5th of Dec. so it's going to be coming fast scary....
I can't sleep to well these days thinking about the pain and the drains, almost trying to talk myself out of doing this again, I don't know why I think that this is going to be good for me god help me. my doctor said I will get good drugs perc's and vicodin and if I want better stuff he will get it for me yahoo nice guy. He asked if I wanted to stay the night in the hospital I said maybe who know will see later.I got pictures done today too, not a good photo lol can't wait till I'm skinny.

Baby Blues 29 Oct 2010

It is hard not to get anxious about the pain. A girlfriend of mine had the same surgery I am having with the same PS. While she said it was painful she said around the two week mark she was doing much better and she is happy with her results and would do it again. I will be staying overnight in the hospital. My friend told me that was a lifesaver the first 24hrs were the hardest and it was nice to have nurses to help out. Don't talk yourself out of it. Just think about all the inches you will be losing and how wonderful you are going to look:)

tt33 31 Oct 2010

We look like twins. I'm 5'2 145 and dd. I go in on Monday the 1st for tt, lipo, and reduction. Oh dear God that is tomorrow! It is 2:45 AM can you tell I'm nervous? This feels very much like having a baby.... nervous, excited & worried about the pain. I have been "nesting" as well just like pre delivery. Cleaning the house making lists, making meals etc. I will keep you posted. Not sure if I'm up for posting pics but I will let you know how it goes. Good luck!

trena 31 Oct 2010

Good luck hope all goes well for you.Hope your nerves hold out for you, I think about my up coming surgery I get nervous and then I don't sleep, think too much and I can't help it. It's a big surgery and we need it and who cares what people think right it's what we want. what size are you going for your breast reduction? You will have to post before and after pictures too, I know the gross pictures just look at mine yuk.
anyways good luck and talk to you soon.

JenBob (RealFriend) 12 Nov 2010

Trena: Keep me posted on your big day!! I go under the 24th of November...less than 2 weeks!! I am 5'3 and 145-150lbs. Our pics look similar. I am probably a small D full C now and want to be a D..so I am getting a lift with implants for fullness. I cant wait to see how you are doing....

trena 15 Nov 2010

hey everyone well I have my date and I'm going in Dec 22 2010, it was bumped back a few week for some reason. I guess thats ok then I don't have to take too much time off work since it's the holidays, I work at home as a hairdresser so I can book around my recovery thats a plus. also I'm on the cancellation list too so I hope they call and get me in sooner. I'm planning on going on a holiday to cuba at the end of Feb will our friends so I hope a have a good recovery cause I really want to go. I guess I will have to see how I feel.

Baby Blues 16 Nov 2010

I have a friend who had surgery in July and went on a vacation the end of September. You just may not be up to jet sking. You can sit back, relax and maybe get rested on your vacation. I think most people over do it when they are away and come back more tired. Hopefully you have someone to handle Christmas dinner you won't be up to help with that.

trena 16 Nov 2010

hey on my holidays all I do is drink and lay in the sun, maybe do some tours thats it so maybe just sitting around is good. As for xmas we always go to my husbands family for the 24 and 25 so i never have to cook, this year i need my huby to bring me a doggie bag haha.

trena 23 Nov 2010

well 29 days for the big day, yikes!
I'm counting down. It will be here before I know it.

trena 5 Dec 2010

Hey everyone I have a Question how come some ladies get just blood work done and some get ekg or what ever its called. I have to get just blood work done for next week so I was just wondering why. I have 16 days to go for my surgery.

JenBob (RealFriend) 5 Dec 2010

I think maybe it depends on your health and your PS. I heard kimmers say she didnt have either and all was well.

Baby Blues 6 Dec 2010

I only needed bloodwork. It may be EKG if there are underlying health conditions. I wouldn't want to chance someone having a heart attack on the table.

Angiemcc (Community Manager) 6 Dec 2010

We'll be waiting to hear. Happy Holidays to you on December 22nd, right?! :)

trena 7 Dec 2010

hey everyone I had my blood work done today. It went fine they said it was not EKG just bloodwork cause I am young with no health problems so that is good. I go tomorrow and pay my big bill, say good bye to money say hello to the new me. The more the day comes the less nervous I get I thought I would be a basket case by now but I'm not, I guess I just want this so bad and say goodbye to the fat roll lol.
15 days to go :)

bigbumper 9 Dec 2010

Trena, I was that way I was more nervous when trying to decide if I wanted to do it or not once I paid the money I felt much calmer...My PS only did bloodwork it depends on age and health history with him boy this is one xmas you will never forget!!

trena 9 Dec 2010

hey bigbumper you got that right the best Xmas present ever. I have 12 days and I'm ready to go paid the bill now wait till the D day. Also I just booked my holiday today we are going to Cuba Feb 20 for a week hope my swelling will be down by then. I'll look smoken in a new bikini.

Christina Grand Rapids 9 Dec 2010

I agree with Bigthumper, once you pay it helps to calm you. Your day is coming soon hon and take it from me, it won't be half as bad as you have probably imagined.

trena 10 Dec 2010

Hi I think I will be fine, talking to you ladies the day after your surgeries and you are all fine with very little pain so I can do it too, I think I have a high pain tolerance (I hope) and it will work out. My eye is waiting for my big prize. 11 more day as the count down continues.

Christina Grand Rapids 11 Dec 2010

Oh heck yes you CAN do it! I am not saying it is easy but all in all it isn't as bad as I imagined.
