Hi I'm a 32 year old mother of 3 kids. I am really looking to finally feeling confident and able to wear a bikini for the first time in my life. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time,I don't have many friends that have done this procedure so I am a little in the loop of what the outcome will be on this procedure and also the level of discomfort I will be going through. I'm really hoping to be able to find support and be able to share my journey. I will be having a tummy tuck and breast implants and also lipo in my mid section of my thighs and also in my love handles, and I will also have this fat tranfer to my buttocks. Total make over !!

Thank you so much for the reassurance, I just figured that if I went through labor 3 times , I could handle it ! Lol or at least thats what I keep reminding my self. How are you sleeping side ways or on your back, are you able to see the results already ? I'm really nervous about the breast implants, I definitely don't wanna look like a stripper. Also are you having a special diet ?

Oh by the way just don't take a picture of your face and no one will know is you !! That's what I did Lol !

Thank you so much for all your information. Are you noticing the difference on your tummy already ? Have you weight your self ? You need to send me pictures
February 12, 2011
Good luck! I am having my TT breast lift and implants as well as vaser lipo of my abs on the same day as you. I am so nervous about the surgery but excited too.

I 100 percent believe in the power of positive thought. Your body will do what it will do, but a positive optimistic outlook helps your body heal itself the best it can! So picture yourself after the surgery pleasantly surprised at how you can manage the pain and how much better you look than you thought possible!

I am going to take pictures to share because it does help to see other people's stories. How fun is it to be able to try to change the way you look for the better??
February 13, 2011
Thank you yes I will definitely try to keep my self positive ! I'm just scare of the unknown , yes please share your pictures and let's keep in touch after our surgeries to share our personal experiences after.

Good Luck tomorrow!! Post when you are feeling better! SO excited for you!

ya the night is worse... i still cant get comftorable and im 3 weeks now.. im foing good each day.. i dont have much pain just some burnin and itchin sometimes where the inscison on the tummy and the lipo.. other than that im doing really good .. the boobs look great they have went down alot.. i was nervous about them at first.. lol but everyone was rite they do go down.. and they are starting to get somewhat softer not as hard.. its funny cause my husband is so afraid to hurt me when he touches me.. lol he said its hard for him to control himself at the same time lookin at my new body.. he is very happy with it ,,, were just tryin to get pass the scar on my tummy.. not that it bothers him or me just weird that the cut is ther.. i cant wait to start treatin it.. i orderd some silcone sheeting have u heard of it? its suppose to reduce the thickness and color of ur scar.. i heard it works wonders... and they use it for tummytucks... i hope it works... i know ill alwys have a scar there but to make it lighter over the yrs.. would be nice,, rite now its kinda raised.. and bumpy.. but the ps says in time it will flatten out and wont be like that.. i hope so .. at least it covers by my panties.. she did a good job. my tummy is flat just still some damn swelling.. i hate it...\
well sweetie dont worry u will feel better.. each day gets better.. ya my back stil hurts till this day but it does ease up... :)
February 23, 2011
I still have a lot of swelling also my question is the lipo ? When did you notice the difference because in my back he transfer fat to my butt but all it feel it's like it's numbness in my back. I don't see a difference. When did you notice a different in your tummy I know is my 6 th day but I see a lot of swelling. I love my breast thought ! I been wearing the spandex given to me by the dr. And I am taking some arnica pills for the swelling ! I would love time to fly and for this to be over ! I was actually planning on doing laser on the scar ? Have you heard of it ?

I'm sure you're still really swollen. Try not to freak out too much about it, but if you're concerned, I think a call to your plastic surgeon is in order. That's what they're there for, after all.

Keep us posted!
