Ready to Get my Body Back...- Fort Lauderdale, FL

ORIGINAL POST

Hey everyone, I'm 20 years old. I had my first son...

WORTH IT$6,000

Hey everyone, I'm 20 years old. I had my first son 3 months ago, he's the best thing that ever happened to me. But unfortunately during my pregnancy I gained 65 pounds out of being greedy lol. (it's not really funny:/ ) I was 124 before my pregnancy now I am 175, (wtf). I hate how I look, and how I feel about myself. I hate to admitt it but I'm so insecure now. I used to be on top of everything but now it seems like everything is on top of me. I hate looking at myself in the mirror. My boyfriend doesn't mention my weight, he acts like its okay. He doesn't want me to do the surgery but he doesn't understand how I feel. I really don't want anymore kids, I wasnt ready for my son but he's here and I love him to death. But here I am now 175 and insecure... I'm doing a TT in a couple days, 03/11/13... I'm scared as hell but they say it's a piece of cake compared to my c-section... After I have this surgery I'm keeping my figure, a lot people gain weight after (witch is crazy). But not me I'm to conscious of my weight... I pray everything goes well and I get my body back... (or close to it)...

Keep your chin up and stay positive.  You will get your body back and will be happy again.  Pregnancy is hard on the body and it takes time to bounce back..and a little effort:)  You are only three months out from having your baby so your body needs some healing time.  

You will be back and better than ever.  Keep us up to date.

I think you look good right now and after pregnancy it does take a few months for you to bounce back but I completely understand you. I used to weigh 120 before I ever got pregnant but now I weigh 155 and it doesn't look like it looks like I weigh 180 or more. I wish you the best :)

I certainly wouldn't say that a C-section is a piece of cake compared to a tummy tuck, you have got to be kidding. I have had 3 C-sections and they were all easy with very quick healing time and i was very much up and about in a short time. I'm 6 and half weeks post op with my tummy tuck and no way would i say its a piece of cake compared to C-section. I was hunched over for 4 weeks and i still feel stiff in my belly and still have bruising. I'm happy with results but it has taken a long time to get back to normal. I wish you all the very best and i know that everyone heals differently so i wish you a speedy recovery.

Your doctor and nurse are wrong, giving you this false information is borderline malpractice imo. I wish you a healthy smooth recovery, I hope you have a good support system, its a must!

I'm shocked you found a surgeon that will operate on you so close to having delivered your son. It takes awhile for everything to go back to normal. Just don't have unrealistic ideals, babies change our bodies.

I'm surprised they will give you a TT so soon after giving birth. To get the best results from a TT you should be in VERY good shape, this will also help the healing process. I worked out hard for 1 year prior to my TT, i'm 6 weeks post op and am still sore and I can't lift too much, even rolling over in bed is difficult. Its the most intense plastic surgery there is. I wish you good luck, its a long hard road to recovery.

Hi Angie, I couldn't stand up straight for 3 weeks. I'm almost 8 weeks po now and I still have trouble stretching while laying down, but for the most part I'm back to normal. Take it slow and listen to your body, you'll be able to stand up straight soon! Happy healing :)
