Wow... Ladies PO is no joke. I did fine until yesterday afternoon when the swelling kicked in. And the key is to remain on top of your meds. Getting in and out of bed is an event. Once I'm up I'm ok though. I ran a lite fever last night 100.9 and I'll see how things go today.

My surgery is scheduled for May 7, 2014 at 7.30 am. My husband has yet to come to terms with my decision to have a TT, BA & lipo. Although my daughter is on board and extremely supportive. Im 5.3, 125 - 130 lbs and it's been hell trying to maintain my weight around 115 - 120. I'm an avid exerciser, but cannot do anything about the 2 & 3rd stomach rolls. OMG, it's so disgusting.
Finally it dawned on me that I'm 47 now and for the rolls to go away I'll have to look into medical intervention! I've had mommy makeovers in the back of my mind after seeing KRON's Heath & Beauty segments on TV. But in my heart I knew I wasn't ready yet because I was able to manage my weight and was happy with how I looked. Once I knew this was the route now and after doing countless hours of research here I am, 1week away from pre op and 3 weeks alway from MM. I'm nervous, excited, worried my post op would be too much for husband and daughter but we shall see.
I thank this forum for connecting me with you all going through the same. I haven't shared my story with my family as I know they will not understand my reasons. So, this is great and I'm very thankful.
I wish & pray for all you ladies out there pre & post op, lots of luck, strength and happy healing.
Take care,
Millie's Mom

Go girl....I just had my MM last April 1 2014, TT, BA and lipo on my flanks, on my two weeks now and able to went back to work last Sunday. Everything healed fast and before I forget I'm turning 47 on september , was 114 lbs. 5'2. I went from 32 C to 32 D which gave me fuller breast. Good luck on your procedure....

Thank you luckys16. I'm so anxious to be on the post op road. Did you end up going with 270cc? And you're looking awesome.

Congratulations on your decision. Best of luck to you in this journey. Welcome to RS. The woman here are a great support. I'm 42, 31 days post op- TT, 3 hernias repaired, lipo, BL w/ implants. You will do great, I'm sure.

Yes, Do have someone with you the first 2 weeks at least, especially the 1st week. You'll need someone to help hold your head as you lay into bed, as well as to help lift you forward to sit & get up. (Some RS ladies have rented an electric chair to sleep in which helped them be independent).
Do stay on top of all your medications. Allow yourself to go through the 1st days without the major pain.
Do take supplements that help w/ swelling; Arnica, Bromelain...
Don't use your arms or tummy muscles. You want your sutures to heal the best they can.
Keep me posted & ask if u think of anything =)

I'm excited for you...good luck on your journey! My surgery is in one week, April 22nd. TT & BL w/implants. I'm full of emotions, but mostly just excited. Again, good luck and just stay positive! :)
April 16, 2014
Oh, you're just around the corner!!! I can understand the emotions aspect, as I'm right there with you. Are you done with your post op shopping?
April 16, 2014
I think I'm almost done. I'll go back over everyone's suggestions and finish up this weekend. I can't believe I'm less than a week away...it came so fast! RS has been so helpful. The support is awesome, seeing other peoples results, and especially knowing my emotions and experiences are normal.

Good morning MtnSmile. If I recall correctly you're 3-4 days post op? How are you doing? Sending you happy healings...
April 27, 2014

April 16, 2014
Congrats on your decision! I'm right there with ya! I'm scheduled in 2 weeks (4/30) TT, BL w/implants. Trying to get everything set for the big day, this site has been wonderful with ideas and suggestions. :-)
