I should be nervous about having my surgery...

MrsMiaApril 24, 2012

WORTH IT$12,500

I should be nervous about having my surgery tomorrow. But to my surprise I am actually pretty calm. I'm also excited for the new me. I went in today for my markings. I go to surgery early in the morning and I'm staying the night over the hospital. That is part the reason why I feel so calm. I know that I would be watched the first 24 hours by nurses and they will teach me everything I need to know. My doctor is super good too. He has another doctor coming in to repair my umbilical hernia. I honestly feel that everything will come out fine. Hopefully I don't wake up for surgery really nervous. I hope I will feel the same in the morning. Although I know I will feel like S*** the next couple of days. But this is the price I am willing to pay for a new beautiful me.

That's right. Short term pain for long term gain. You look like an awesome candidate for a mommy makeover, but I'm sure today is a little rough. When you're up to it, we'd love to hear how you're doing. Sending quick healing vibes!

Omg!!! All I have to say is I feel like total crap...

MrsMiaApril 28, 2012

Omg!!! All I have to say is I feel like total crap. Po day4 and I'm still trying to recover. Getting out of bed has been the hardest. My husband has been helping me with everything. He even drains out my tubes. He rented me a recliner and it is the best. I love it so much. My ps said I should try to walk around as much as I can but it is so hard. My stomach and chest is so thight i can barely breath. Most you girls makes this surgery thing look so easy. Maybe since I also had hernia repair I feel this bad. I hope and pray I get better. I go Monday to visit my ps to remove the drains. Another thing is that my boobs don't seem to be bigger. I feel the same. But my ps said its due to all the swelling.

Hope you feel better as the days progress. You will I should say. I know it's a journey, but the outcome will out weigh this temporary discomfort. I'm sure you will look amazing. God bless

PO day6!!! I finally got my drains removed today....

MrsMiaApril 30, 2012

PO day6!!! I finally got my drains removed today. I was super happy about that. My ps said it wouldn't hurt but it sure did feel weird feeling the tubes roll out my body. He then re wrapped my stomach with the binder. I wrapped up pretty tight like a burrito. My back is still killing me from walking hunched over. I can't wait until I can stand straight. As far as my breast he said they are also healing well. I can now wear any bra that gives me good support. So later today I will order a cotton comfy bra online. I'm so tired of this itchy polyester I had to wear. When I'm able to stand straight I will post new pics. Thank you ladies for all your comments and support. It feels good to know there are other women who totally understand.

I would have to agree That a lot of people on here make it looks so easy lol. I haven't been out the house yet and have been chillin in my recliner too. I'm on PO day 6 and I'm still super swollen and sore. Hang in there and just know that you are not alone that there are other slow healers just like you!
