“Mommy Makeover in New York - Long Island”
Spent: $17,600 in Long Island, NY
Good morning all, I've been looking over this website for a while now and decided to come and introduce myself! A little about me, I'm 26, 5 foot 10 inches, weigh 190 pounds and have 2 children. The oldest is 8 and youngest is 15 months.
I'm getting a TT, breast aug/lift and lipo of my inner thighs, hips and lower back. Implants will be saline, under the muscle, 450ccs. I am SO nervous!
My husband took 2 weeks off of work to help me recover and help with our son. Do you think I'll be able to hold him or care for him after the 2 weeks? I read the real life tummy tuck survival article, great article! Is there anything else anyone would like to share about the recovery? Anything you wish you had known beforehand?

UPDATE- Good afternoon ladies! I'm now 6 days post op and feeling pretty good. To be honest, the pain was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be after reading stories on here! I am still taking my percocet, but only 1 or 2 a day. Only because my back is cramping so badly from being hunched over! lol The first 48 hours were rough, I won't lie. But very manageable with medication. I also had to stay overnight and I'm so happy I did! Having a nurse to help me out for almost 24 hours after surgery was wonderful. I have some pictures that I'll be adding as well. I am THRILLED with my results already! My doctor is amazing and I'm so grateful I found this website and had so much information at my fingertips. Can anyone tell me about lymphatic massage? I've read a few things about it and considering getting one later on.

Today I'm 8 days post op! I've made it this far! lol I'm feeling pretty good except for TERRIBLE back pain due to being hunched over. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and will update you all then! Hope everyone is well.

My Dr. is FANTASTIC! He has excellent bedside manners, is very knowledgable and really takes the time to listen to your concerns and make you comfortable.



Thanks for sharing your story with us! Sounds like you're truly getting a full makeover. Two weeks might be pushing it for holding your son. It all depends on how YOU heal. I've heard of a lot of women going back to work after two weeks, but you need to be especially careful with heavy lifting.
Anyone have recovery tips for Momof2?
Thinking about you and wondering how it went!
Would love another update! How are you feeling now?
