I am a mother of 4 beautiful children. Age 7,5, 3 and 1 year. I am 38 years old. I am going in for a full TT, breast reduction/lift, lipo to hip area.
I breast feed all four children and my body hasn’t been the same. I work out 5 days a week at the gym, and try to eat healthy. I have done every diet possible, my body isn't changing. I have always had large, heavy breast even before children. At age 12 I was a full C cup and a size zero. I always hated the negative attention I received as a child; it was very embarrassing to me.
My goal has always been to wait until I am finished having children/breastfeeding. I cannot believe my time has come! I am excited and nervous at the same time!
I know my thoughts are like a lot of mothers on here. Am I sure I want to go through this? Is it going to be worth it? What do I tell my young children I am doing? How am I going to manage the recovery time? What if I don't wake up?
Please say a prayer for me if you think of it. I appreciate all the support from you ladies!
Happy healing to all!

Each day is getting easer and I have to admit its much easer than I anticipated . I had a great group of doctors and nurses which makes all the difference in the world.
Thank God, I didn't remember anything, I had a fear of waking up during surgery. The first thing I remember is having the chills/shakes coming off of the anistisia. Feeling so cold. They just keep reminding me to take deap breaths and it eventually wore off. I am the most pleased with my tolleit seat riser and recliner chair, I don't know how I could have made it with out it!
Tomorrow the drains come out! Yay! They are the worse!
The worse days are behind me and the best days are ahead!!

I got my drains removed today and I feel like a new women! I feel very lucky because I know a lot you ladies had to wait 7 days or longer. It makes such a huge differance. I am also using a spank like garment feels so great compared to the other CG I was waiting!
The removal of the drains was uncomfortable, I would recommend taking a pain pill before you go just to take the edge off.
I will post pics as soon as I can, I'm still bandaged so its difficult to see, and I have a lot of swelling. Each day is getting better!
Happy healing to all!!

I have been coughing for the last 2-3 days up green mucus (sorry, I know it's gross) I was just thinking it was from surgery because the information sent home said try to cough etc.. OMG coughing hurts so bad!! Anyway saw my doctor and he listened to my lungs put me on a different antibiotic. You ave to be carful of pneumonia after surgery...just Incase someone reads this and suffering the same call you doctor. Feeling better now. 6 days PO walking straight and feeling good, still swollen!

Sorry I haven't been on here lately, I have been going non stop with my kids it's crazy! I don't have time to but my feet up and I am experiencing a lot of swelling. It's awesome that my tummy is flat but I can't fit into jeans I wore pre op even though I weigh 10 lbs lighter ! If I Hadn't read others stories I would have probably lost my mind thinking was it worth it, but I know it's still early days only time will heal!
Hello all, Sorry I haven't been very good...
Hello all,
Sorry I haven't been very good about posting stuff, I will try to be better! It has been 2 months post op and i am still very pleased with my results. As always we can complain I wish I was smaller here or there but I have concluded to be content and thankful that I was able to have a mommy makeover.
I really had a great experience with my surgery and recovery. I want to encourage those who are going In For a mommy make over not to worry because its never as bad as it seems!
I started back at the gym 1 month post op. I have been enjoying running (I was never a runner before because of the size of my breast !) anyway I am now able to do everything I did before with out limitations!
Best of luck to everyone. Hope you all enjoy th holidays! Merry Christmas to all!

3 months post op and am so happy I had mommy makeover! Everyday is getting better and better. I still am experiencing swelling by the end of the day and especially after Exercising. My PS told me its normal and should start slowing down by 6 months.
I am back to my full exercising Routine, and have started running for the first time, I'm loving it!
Good luck to all who are going onto surgeries, happy healing to all!
