“Greatest Thing I Ever Did Was my Tummy Tuck ”
Spent: $5,000 in Edwardsville, Illinois
i have had three pregnancy all c-sections and before pregnancy i was about 120lbs with all three i probably hit if not close to the 200 mark i went in on may 7 2009 to have my tummy tuck i was so nervous mostly about being put all the way to sleep i was afraid i wouldnt wake up to see my kids and my family.
When i woke up from surgery my muscles were so sore it felt like i did 5 million sit ups. Pretty much the worst part was my muscles being sore and i had to walk bent over for like a week or two so my back hurt so bad! But to be complety honest all three of my c-sections hurt worst than the tummy tuck! The first night home was probably the worst between i couldnt eat anything and the pain medicine was making me sick (that hurt so bad) so i just quit taking the pain medicine and by day 2 i felt better i just basically took tylenol for my back hurting. I am now almost 4 weeks since my surgery and i feel great except i have to wear this silly binder which you can see through most of your clothes.
It was the best thing i ever did for myself and would definatley recommend it to anyone, my scar is so low that a binki could cover it up. I havent really got to see the final way i will look in my clothes because of this binder but right now if i try to put normal clothes on without the binder it feels so weird because my stomache is still kind of numb. But overall it was a very good experience for me and the pain was really not bad at all to me.
