“2 weeks after TT, BBL, thrilled with results! ”

hello, I am 35, mother of three boys, 10, 5 and 1. In all my three pregnancies I gained close to 60 lbs, I did managed to lose the 60 lbs each time, but of course i have the saggy skin left and somehow i still look 4 months pregnant, I am sure some of you gals might relate lol. Also, I have some strechmarks under my belly button area. I thought first that by doing smart lipo in my belly would help take out the pregnant look but I went to one of the best smart lipo surgeons in miami(DR.Chang) and he told me the only way would be to do muscle repair with tummy tuck, that was a hard hit for me :(. It took me a couple of months after research to finally decide to do one.. . I am also happy that my husband has been so supportive of my decision. I am worried about my 3 kids, especially for my one year old, how long would it be until i can carry him?. So here I come..Oct 5th is my date! i am freaking out but excited at the same time. I better look awesome by Christmas time!! lol

9 days for the big day!! last night i could'nt sleep because i started thinking about it and getting nervous..., this morning i started reading all your blogs and I started feeling better and excited right away. I got my set of arnica and bromelain pills yesterday, the package also came with pre and post vitamins but my surgeon told me to stop taking all vitamins :(. I am going to try to go buy some pijama pants and a button shirt for the surgery day. Does anyone recommend any good protein shakes to make or buy? Ok i am going to stop typing now, my one year old is pulling my pants to pay attention to him :). Talk to you soon!

hello, so two days to go, I am very scared trying not to think all the things that can go wrong with the surgery, I am taking out all my pre-pregnancy pictures of when i had a flat tummy to keep me motivated :). Today, i told my 9 year old that i will be having surgery on wednesday, he is like "why?!!, are they going to open your stomach!!, " i told him i am having my hernia fixed, i saw his scared faced and that really got me. Please keep me in your prayers girls!! i need to recuperate as soon as i can to take care of my three babies.

So it has been two full weeks after my surgery and I am thrilled with my results, I can't believe how flat my stomach is and how tiny my waist is. Yesterday i had a follow up apt with my PS and he said everything is going well. He told me to start putting a cotton ball inside my BB for it to start getting a good shape, i started doing that. The only thing that is kind of worrying me is that he said in my surgery he looked for my hernia for 40 minutes and did not find anything. I am also still not walking completely straight but he told me that is normal that i might be like this another week or 2 weeks, that he pulled me super tight. Can't complain, I am feeling great, and love my new body. Very worth it!!
