I'm having an extended tt (incision will extended a few inches toward my butt), mini arm tuck, lipo of flanks, saddlebags, knees and a mini face/neck lift on 10/24/12. I am most concerned about caring for my 11month old. My baby is approx 21lbs. My husband will be home for the first week and then he will be out of town and I will be on my own. I have an older child that is self sufficient and can help after school. Any suggestion? Is this doable or am I am trouble? Also, I have recliner down stairs but I think I'd rather be sitting up in my bed (upstairs). Its quieter so I can rest and that way my lil one won't crying for me to play.

Background info... I've had two c-sections, gained and lost about 50lbs between the two pregnancies,and I'm turning 40 in a few months. My body loves to carry weight and I'm a carb addict! lol This last pregnancy really did a lot of damage to my body and due to other life issues I haven't been able to work out as I did pre-pregnancy. My goal is to lose another 15lbs after my surgery and then to tone, tone, tone.

Great review?

wow! such a difference already! i think your face looks amazing! i would keep any eye on the dark area. what do they do of.there.is some necrosis?

WildOrchids 30 Oct 2012

I think it looks more like bruising honestly, but just wondering how they address necrosis. i thought i had some with my bb, but it ended up being fine...

I just called my doc and had a melt down. The way they examined me today I know they were concerned about that area but they never actually said "Necrosis". After reading about it on line I just felt certain thats what it is. I told her I'm a problem solver and am more concerned about what to do, meaning I don't want to ignore it. She swears that did several skin and nerve checks and doc and head nurse say its just bruising. They say if I had Necrosis I would be in more pain, not pass the nerve test, etc. I guess I just have to pray they are correct. It really does scare me. They did give me steroids for swelling and said 1 more week and then I will see bigger changes. I'm very happy with tt, knees, etc.

i know it's all so scary, but I would say the doc is right! the color of my bb was exactly the same and it was.just a bruise and there was healthy skin under there. with as much as you had done I'm sure it's a shock after. just try to relax, it takes some time to heal! as happy as i was with my results, I'm panicking a little every day about something. I'm ssorry you won't have longer.help but please reach out to all of us if you need anything!
