WORTH IT$5,000
ok so I am 6 days post op and thought i would share some pics with you all.
I have to admit there have been times this week when i have wondered what on earth i was doing putting myself through this! After seeing the pics i am sure you will agree the pain is worth it.
I was fortunate enough to have four days in hospital, drains out day 4 and have a very supportive family and great friends who are helping me out. My tummy feels like i have been beaten by a boxer but i am only requiring paracetemol for pain management.
Good luck to all who are recovering and to those about to

A little bit of swelling bit mot too much. I am so pleased because I don't have to wear a binder and have no drainage tubes just getting around with a light tubigrip bandage so i thought the swelling would be worse.
yay!! u look great
Thanks:) all the best for your surgery!
Thank you! I am very happy so far. Wow your surgery is sooo close!!!! Are you excited? All the best to you , you will have fabulous results! Being really fit definitely helps so it should be a breeze for you. Will send all my positive thoughts your way for a speedy recovery.
Wow You look INCREDIBLE! Thank you for posting your results! It looks as if all of your stretch marks were taken too. Your tummy is beautiful and well worth it :)
Thanks!
Hey there it is already the 10 th here, so by my calculations you go in tomorrow! Yay!!!! All the best for your procedure. You have worked so hard , your body is going to look amazing. You must be excited!
Take care. Your high level of fitness will be a great benefit with your recovery. Keep us posted :)

Oh yes all the stretch marks have gone too. I am so amazed given how bad my skin was evn above my belly button ( courtesy of mr 11 lb!).
My scar is a little higher than I would have liked but I am seeing PS today so will discuss whether this is owing to swelling or whether given how wrinkled I was up high ,he couldn't do much else. Can't have everything and hey I haven't worn a teeni tiny bikini in years anyway so maybe a Higher cut one will be my preferred choice.
At least I can now wear my running and gym gear without the excess skin being tucked in!
Not being able to exercise is excrucitingally painful but I keep reminding myself this is temporary. Once again all the best tomorrow:)

Ur stomach looks just Luke mines pre op thumps up good turn out!!!
You are looking just great! Wont be long before you can wear that bathing suit. Hey isnt it summer in Australia right now? I have cousins in Melbourne.
Thank you!
It has just changed from summer to autumn here but it is 88 degrees today- just beautiful. Shame I'm not quite bathing suit ready yet!!!!!
All the best for your procedure. I too had separation of muscle and a hernia above belly button. I had them all repaired and one pound of skin removed.

Good luck tomorrow..actually it is today for you!lol! You are a day ahead aren't you? :) You are going to look awesome! Keep us posted!
All done! Yay! Am in hospital. Not painful just sore. The worst part for me was the nausea and vomiting from morphine and anesthetic but now have that under control and feeling much more human again. I am also moving around quite well and am standing relatively straight.
Thanks for your well wishes. Will keep you posted.

Hi Lisa,
Glad to hear you are done! Sorry you got so sick from the meds...Yuck!
Hang in there and rest up.
yay thats is just exciting!! Sorry to hear you got sick! I agree the sick feeling is the worst part well I am sure in your case getting sick was. Get tons of rest!! Congrat
I hope i all went well for you! Good luck with your recovery....
Was much of your fee covered by Medicare? I'm in Adelaide and I've heard you can get it covered ( the nurse told me that in Recovery after having my twins!)
I'd love to do it but my husband is really against it...and I'm so torn with the 'what if something went wrong' factor and having young kids.
Look forward to seeing your results, take care!

My surgeons fee was $5000 but he has put it down as a medical procedure so it has an item number and I will get a fair bit back. I'll claim this when I'm out so I will let you know. I bet twins have down a number on your skin too!
Will keep you posted.
Will keep you posted.
Glad you're doing ok....Can't wait to see your results. Enjoy your 'break' in hospital. I like that fact we get a few days in hospital in Australia for this type of surgery...I can't imagine gong home the same day.
Yes the twin have totally trashed my skin and the fact I am 33kgs (72 lbs) lighter now than the day I delivered them doesn't help either! My tummy looks a lots like yours. Take care!

So glad to hear you are doing well! Sucks about the vomiting. I worry about that too.
Keep us posted and take care!

Thanks for caring. Yes the vomiting wasn't good but I am now on phenergan and endone and feel really quite good. Will keep you posted. How long til your tt now?
