“Cant Wait for a New Me - Houston, TX”
Spent: $0 in houston, tx
A 8 pounder and a 10 pounder and two c sections. what more do I have to say. I've been thinking about this for almost 6 years and I have decided to get it done. Thank God that I'm a vet because if not I would have been spending 5 thoundsand dollars in Mississippi. Its rare that the VA will do this but mine is a medical necessity. I was cut straight up and down twice and no matter how much exercise I do the stomach want go away. Even when I was 133 lbs it wouldn't go away. I'm 5'7 and about 180. I would like to be around 150 before the surgery but that want happen because I will be getting the final OK this Monday. So as soon as they say you can come in and do the surgery I'm there. So serving the country is great but it's even better when the country can serve you. Lol. So I will be posting before and after pix and keeping everyone updated. So until then good luck everyone and lets continue to get beautiful..smooches ladies and gents.

Its been a little over 12 hours since surgery and I feel wonderful. My doc did such a great job that I ask him to marry me. Lol. The pain is not so bad. Not really hungry but its cool. I love my new stomach its amazing plus the doc said he didn't need to do any lipo. He said everything turned our wonderful. Thank God for bring me through and guiding the surgerons hand.

Its day 3 of post ops and I feel so so good. I'm not in any pain and I'm about to go home. I really like the way everything came out and I can't wait to show my results to the world. I have never been so happy to lose an old friend. Lol. The first two days were hard but now its uphill from nowon. I would do it over in a heartbeat.
Updated on 26 Jan 2012:
It gets better and better each day. I been going to the bathroom by myself for the last two days but the doc wants me to continue to walk bent over. My drains want come out until next wed. I really can't wait for them to come out. Everything is really healing well and I feel great. Can't wait until the swelling goes down.
Updated on 26 Jan 2012:
Can't wait to see the results three months from now. I really love the way I look. I am so happy that I found realself. I felt alone for some strange reason because I really need an outlet to talk about how I was feeling and what I wanted to be done. This is a great site with a lot of answers and real experiences. I have recommended it to several of my friends. Thanks so much RealSelf.

It's been 5 days since my surgery and still no bowl movement. I have been taken stool softern and nothing. The gas is terrible. Nothing comes outs but it rolls through my stomach like crazy. I can't wait to get my drains out. they are really starting to bother me. I really want to put on some regular clothes just to see how I look. But these drains are stopping everything.
Updated on 28 Jan 2012:
Finally had a bowl moment today, thanks to a suggestion from a realselfers advice. Thanks guys you all rock. took a stroll yesterday and it really felt great to be outside and the fresh air was amazing.

I am so ready to take these freakin drains out. I am ready to see how I look in real clothes. It's been almost a week and im not in any pain, but the gas...the gas is crazy. it just bubble like crazy in my stomach and my stomach feel so tight it crazy. I going to the doc wed and then they are coming out but in a way I'm glad their still here because the fluids are coming out fast snd the swelling is getting better each day.

Not a good night tonight. I think I did too much. I was driving my car and moving around, now i am in pain, it feels like im about to rip open. So now im home resting and relaxing. Thank God for pain pills. They work wonders. I just hope I feel better in the morning. Good nite realselfers.

Tomorrow makes 3 weeks post ops and I really do feel great. If I had to do it over again I would do it in a heartbeat. Well I guess I need to start walking slowly until I build my strength up. August will be my next and final surgery. I want to have the brazillian butt lift. I feel as though this would be my icing on the cake. I want to move to MIA once I finish my master's degree and I want to be able to play with the best of them. I want to feel great in my new body. I really feel great and just want to show it off. I really love my new tummy but it's still a little swollen in the middle but I know it will go down in time, but I really do love everything. August her I come. Can't wait to get my new butt....LOL.

It's been a minute but I needed to update my status since my surgery. It's been about 9 or 10 weeks and I'm really enjoying the new me. I been on the BBL section because I'm getting my butt done in late Aug or Sept. I hate that I have to wait 6 months but it because of my TT, better safte than sorry. My stomach is really getting flatter each day. I really look great in all mt clothes but i just feel like something is missing so thats why im getting the brizilian butt kift to complete my transfermation. Actually i look better than my before pictures but for some reason i weigh more. Thats strange but i have change my eating ways and start drinking green dieters tea and i lost about 8lbs in one week but I've also been running too but I started after I lost the 8lbs. So I'm posting new pictures today and I will be posting more in a few weeks just to see how I'm coming along. Enjoy realselfers and good luck in you surgery future..stay fab.

Yes the babies do a number on our tummies! I am so happy that you are able to get this done now. You will love it.

Awww thank you!
Thank you for the update:) I am so happy to hear you are doing well and going home. Don't forget the new pics:)
I just looked at your after picture and your looking good. Its a major differences from before. For the constipated try mixing. Milk of Mag with prune juice that should work. When I had my breast reduction surgery I was so constipated that I had to give myself an enema.
