I currantly had a daughter of May 18, 2010. The best thing that has ever happened to me. During the pregnancy I went from 129 to 201 but I was all baby. I ended up having a emergency cesarian section and following that I had a lot of extra loose skin that was past its elasticity point to go back to its original form that this was the only way to fix it.

Im so nervous, anxious, and excited all at the same time. Im also having breast augumentation to go with it. I had breastfeed and I lost a lot of fullness and went down two cup sizes. Wow Right? That is one thing I didnt expect to happen post breastfeeding. I cant wait.

Well im one week away and so nervous. Looking forward to a new me but at the same time hoping that they are the results im looking for. I do have a question though my doctor has never did blood work or nothing to see if im physically healthy enough is that normal?

I had my tummy tuck almost one week ago and boy is there alot of pain. Definitly keeping up on my pain meds. I have experienced quite a bit of swelling not only in my abdominal area as well as throughout my legs and feet. I do not have a pain pump but do have two drains that are absolutly herendous. They have been the worst experience out of the whole thing. I think in the end I will love the results. My hips already look great from the lipo my abdomen is a little to hard to tell from now its really swollen and have alot of gas bubbles. Still no BM. I dont know if it is normal to go that long or not. Still am very limited in what I do. Im always so very tired and worn out. This is Day 5 Post Op

I just got home from surgery today. I never thought in a million years the pain would be this horrific. I'm taking currently keflex loratab n flexiril which works out pretty well when ur actually alowwed to take them. Ihad both breast augmentation n full tummy tuck, I hope for all this pain I'm going through right now will be advantage for taking the nex step of getting the surgery done. I will post in a day or two the results

U will do just fine my last baby was emergency c section also. And wad 9,8.Wow he was big as a one month old. Lol. I also had lots of stretched skin and muscle damage. Yes u will be nervouse I even thought about cancelling because I had thoughts everytime I looked at my kids that what would they do without me. Its normal dont worry. Try to walk at least 30 min a day prior to ur surgery. Everything will be ok. And drink lots of water two weeks prior. I really think this helped me from being so fatigue. I read that here on the site. Mabey kimmers post. Good luck chick u will look amazing.

Oh those precious little bundles do a number of our bodies.  Gotta love them though.

I think it is wonderful that you are able to do this for yourself now.  You will be so happy when you get rid of the extra skin. 

I look forward to reading your posts so please keep us up to date on how things go for you.

I'm in Charleston too and thinking of going to Dr. Wood and Jackson. I noticed you recommended them. Anything I should know before I take the plunge? Thanks!
