Good luck with your surgery. I just had the same thing done last week. I was a 36D before and now I am a 36C. I am thrilled with my breast lift results. It looks like I had implants even though I didn't. We have similar body shape so hopefully you will have great results as well.

Badbecky, mama, pippa and Angie I want to thank you all for your support and nice comments. I'm glad I'm part of this board.Its really helping me with my anxiety.
I forgot to mentioned I'm 38D. My doctor said I will be 38C after the operation.

Question: How long after a tummy tuck can you get up and walk round without getting hurt? My doctor explain all this to me but its good to hear from actual patients

thank you!!

Hi Everyone, Finally, I did it!!!!

My surgery was a success, when I woke up from my surgery I was shivering like a wet Chihuahua, lol so much that it made the pain worst. it lasted almost an hour after I woke up. Doctor said it was the anesthesia wearing off my body.My hubby brought me a stuffed animal and that me me feel a bit better. the pain was horrible!!!


post/op day 4 feeling much better ,Now taking Tylenol twice a day to reduce the pain. Pain has reduce about 30% from day of surgery. I'm feeling alot pressure on my drain hole, lol you know what i mean. i did get a bit of a cough. it hurts much less now when I cough I'm moving around the house and doing a couple things around the house. My hubby gets mad of me doing things, but i tell him its OK.I'm not forcing myself.
I'm eating better and feeling much more energetic.

Photos are courtesy of my dear hubby, lol
I'm planning on updating in three days with photos of me standing up.

thank you everyone for your support

Rita
