For one, I have never had a flat sexy abdomen.....
For one, I have never had a flat sexy abdomen.. And having 4 kiddos certainly didn't help! :) I am 31, 5 foot 7 and weigh around 145. I am done having kids, have had 2 surgeries (back surgery and tubes tied), so I know I can handle anesthesia.... i think.
Anyway, I also never had much of a butt.. All the lunges, squats and gym exercises could not change what mother nature didn't bless me with... Soooooo,,, off to Florida I go so the doc can work his magic to remove my flabby belly skin, whittle away my muffin top, and use the excess fat to give me a shapely derriere... I am so nervous!
I'm flying to Florida and staying only 10 days, and my sister will be by my side... I'm so worried that the plane will crash, or i'll have complications, blah blah blah.. Most of all, I'm worried that I'll feel my money could have been better spent..... My boyfriend thinks I'm kinda selfish for spending so much on myself, but if the procedure goes well, I'll have more peace of mind about my appearance, and after all,, it was having HIS kiddos that helped make my body the way it is :) He doesn't have to carry around sagging skin, lol.
Anyway, my surgery is like 2 weeks away and I am so excited, yet nervous... I hope you guys can have some encouraging words for me!!!

HI, Im scheduled for nov 9th for a breast lift and bbl. A small bbl as I have a butt already but i need a bit of fullness of top, and well my breast were killed while breastfeeding my kids. I have a question though, how did you sleep considering with a tt you should lie on your back and bbl you should lie on your stomach, i figured on your side, but how did you get comfortable enough. I read all your blogs, and man it was quiet the experience but your pics look really good at the end...

Well, as of today, my surgery is only 9 days away!...
Well, as of today, my surgery is only 9 days away! I am stoked, yet terrified!
I am just curious,,, what are the 'MUST HAVE' items that I should take with me when I fly down to Florida,,, and what are the items that I should hold off to purchase until I am there in Florida.
I don't want to pack/take a lot of stuff on the plane, but I'm just curious. What are the best things for me to take on my flight down?
I realized that I will be in Florida during Spring Break. Great. :( I don't think I'm going to be hitting the beach after my surgeries, so most likely I'm going to hang out in my hotel for the 8 days I'm there.
What did you guys do the first 8 days after your surgery? Should I plan on just resting, light walking, eating, and just staying indoors?
Wow, I've researched this procedure for over a year, but I still feel so clueless about the recovery process. I hope I can relax and just look forward to the results.
Thanks for your support! I'll post before and after pics soon, just need someone to take some pics for me....

Teresa, thanks for your comments! I am so nervous.... is this the boppy pillow REALLY supportive enough to keep pressure off my butt,, and will it fit in an airplane seat??? i'm worried about managing the flight home.. it's only supposed to be a little over 2 hours, but still......
and also, is it okay that i plan on mostly just staying in my hotel room? I mean, after all it is gonna be Spring Break when I'm down there, and I will NOT feel like being 'out and about', so i guess chillaxin in my room will have to do.
I'm also worried about blood clot prevention. I'm not high risk, but i've heard horror stories.. I hope my doc takes full precautions against them...
Where do I get the Scar FX strips? anyway, sorry for bombarding you with questions and if i'm rambling. my mind is going a mile a minute!!! eeek!

Uploaded some before pics!!!!!!! Does it look...
Uploaded some before pics!!!!!!! Does it look like i'll have enough fat to work with to get a good BBL result and a good TT result???
Don't mind my lower legs... I hate them! They are so bow-legged and my calves are skinny...
So, hopefully i can get a new hourglass figure to take the focus off my ugly lower legs, lol!
Also, sorry for the quality, but it's really hard to take pics of yourself from behind and with a cell phone camera and mirror! Hey, I tried!

Oh, wow I can understand how your feeling, I would be the same way. As far as how to sit on the plan....the greatest pic I've seen for that was on RosaR review! (look at the way she sat with the yoga mat rolled under her thighs and also have a pillow to support your back and make sure your butt doesnt press against anything) and I think youll be fine, its only for two hours. As far as staying in the hotel room, this depends on how YOU feel. I mean, I can understand maybe a walk or a little stroll or maybe even some shopping but I dont think your recovery will allow you to join in any Spring break festivities. lol. Oh, with the blood clot prevention, keep your legs elevated. I know this maybe hard to do with bbl. but at least when laying on your stomach. (just my assumption, I dont want to portray that I know alot of this, but its what I've heard people do after surgeries.
Remember: I have NOT had this surgery yet, so whatever info you receive from others experience, go with that. I hope this helps. I cant imagine how your feeling right now. I cant wait till my turn. Good luck to you, sweetie!
