Mommy Makeover Sept 7th - Massachusetts

Hi Ladies! Well almost 2 months post op. Feel great and so glad I did it! I am still amazed when I pass a mirror and don't see the extra "baggage" on me! My breast are PERFECT! I was so worried about them being too small for my frame,but they have settled nicely. And my belly..yay! I love how it all looks natural. Just minus the excess skin! So happy I did it! if I could give any advice, it would be make sure you have a good feeling about your surgeon. Mine wasn't warm fuzzy, but he was great at making me feel confident in him. Also, you need to REST! I can't stress that enough. I was back on my feet as a hairstylist 1e days after my op and felt fine. But I know it was due to the incredible amount of support from my family. The most I had to do for 12 days was shuffle to the bathroom, then back to the couch. It made all the difference in my recovery time for sure! Be well, and good luck on your journeys! :)

Well it's been 2 weeks and I finally had my last drain out today! I feel like a new woman! Started back to work as a hairstylist Tuesday. Man was I beat. But felt great to be back. Almost standing up straight now. LOVE my binder and don't know what I'll do when I don't need to wear it anymore. It gives me such a sense of security! I can't get it on quick enough once I'm out of the shower. I love my new body. Love not having the overwhelming, large breast weighing on my back. I can sit at a restaurant booth now without having to slide the table over to hubby. Can drive with my arms by my side, stand with good posture, don't wake up with back pain, and can see my lap! LOL EVERYONE is commenting on their disbelief in how fast my recovery seemed as I was back to work in 13 days, and moving around albeit slowly, but freely. I tell them all, and I will tell anyone about to embark on this journey for themselves. It was all due to the incredible support from my family I received. I didn't do a thing but rest for 13 days straight! Yes, I was bored of tv, books, mags, but I know that was the key to my recovery so quick. My biggest worry was shuffling to and from bathroom, and showering. My kids eve set their alarms to take turns waking me for my midnight meds. I know it is not feasible for everyone to have the same situation. But honestly, try to rest and do very minimum to let your body heal! I hope my experiences have helped, as the ones I have read previous to my surgery helped me! Thank you all so much for your support and kind words. If I get brave enough, I will post pictures!

Hi all. Well day 3 post op here. Feel really good except for the sore back from being hunched over. I had to stay an extra day in hospital as my bladder wasn't working. Ugh. My breast look small from this angle, down. LOL But compared to what they looked like before, no wonder. I'm holding off looking in a full length mirror as that is upstairs in my room and I'm on the couch in LR. My hubby and daughter say they look great! so I will take their word for it. Just wanted to check in and say thank you for all the well wishes and kind words. :)
