I had two children in less than 3 years. I was later in life when I finally decided to have kiddos, and I think it took its toll! I've always been healthy, but for some reason my stomach muscles ripped down the center with my first pregnancy and never went back...



So here I go - onto a little lipo and squishing down those muscles again to pre baby. I never, ever thought I would get any sort of plastic surgery, but I'm tired of looking 4 mos pregnant at the age of 41! Jump in, with both feet, here I go on Friday...

Day before and boy am I really freaking out now....

Day before and boy am I really freaking out now. UGH I went to bed last night with a sinus infection. I could feel it in my cheek. Thank goodness I started on the antibiotics already. I called the doc and the nurse said as long as I don't have a fever I'm fine. Which I actually don't - I'm right at 98.6, so I go in at 4:30 to get marked up and ready for the morning. oh dear...

You go girl! You still have so many great years of being young and sexy ahead of you. Get this done! And come back and let us know how it goes. :)

Thank you! I'm freaking out a little, well ok A LOT! I went to bed last night and discovered a sinus infection. Yup can you believe it? I had already started the antibiotics for the procedure. I called the doc this morning and the nurse said as long as I don't have a fever I'm ok which I don't. I have been checking all day. The worst of it is that my cheek bone hurts. I'm still freaking out.... UGH! I go in at 4:30 to get all marked up so we will see. Thanks!

Well here I am on Tuesday - surgery was last friday. I stayed in hospital suite two extra days and it was so worth it. With a 2 and 4 yr old at home I needed as much time as I could being taken care of by someone else. I suggest it to anyone! Take the extra days. The first 48 hours I was in hell, no lie. Lots of nausea, headaches and pain. I had a hard time with the anethesia. On saturdayI ended up with a migrane and didn't sleep well at all. I got up to walk around for the first time that day and turned a beautiful shade of green the nurses said!



I'm finally moving well, not totally upright and these drains are a pain ( I have 3 of them) but so far leaps and bounds better than the first 48 hours.



I have a doc appt tomorrow to be checked out again and will update and hopefully have some good pics. I got to see my stomach for the first time in the hospital and I almost fell over. For 2 years I have always looked 4 mos pregnant and all of a sudden its gone! I'm swollen and still so thrilled even with a bit of pain. :)
