After several months since my consultation, my surgery day is almost here. I'm excited but very anxious as to what to expect afterwards. I'm a mother of two beautiful children ages 5 and 2, both born via cesarean. Since my babies I have totally been discouraged with my body almost every time I look in the mirror. I am so ready to feel good again in my clothes. My two pregnancies have left me with excess skin and a baby pooch to say the least, my breasts have also became deflated and saggy. I'm undergoing a full tummy-tuck with breast reduction. I'm new on here, but have enjoyed reading all the wonderful stories! Does anyone have any tips they would like to share that will I'd in my recovery?

Well I am one day post op, feeling extremely sore but my stomach is flat! I could not believe what I looked like with the garment off today at the doctors office! My husband says I look tiny:) oh and my boobs look so good!! For now I'm just taking it easy, and focusing on myself for once. I go back Monday to get my stitches removed and hopefully a drain. Best of luck to everyone on there journeys and again thanks for all the prayers.

I am now 4 days post op and I finally got to wash my hair!! I feel so much better, and tonight I finally get to shower. The worst part for me right now is the itching from all the padding and gauze. Other than that I can tell I'm standing up a little straighter and my pain is getting more bearable. I'm going back to the doctor on Monday to hopefully get my stitches removed and one of my drains.

Just remember that this is your time, don't be afraid to take this time for your self! I also found that having all of your things ready prior to getting home from your surgery seems to make transition at home much easier! Can't wait to hear how it goes, Good Luck:)
