Mommy Makeover: Stories

I am 29 yrs old and married to a wonderful husband and hava 1 daughter. i have been wanting this mommy makeover for the last 10 yrs.. and now that it has actually come up.. its like a dream.. im so excited and so nervous at the same time..i just hope and pray that i go in ok and come out ok.. ive never had any type of surgery not even a tooth pulled out:) so im a bit nervous..lol" well the story w/ me is i want this for myself i want to feel comftorable agian in my own body.. i want to be able to feel youthful again.. not that iam way old or anything but i would like to go on trips w friends and family and be able to have a cute swimsuit not some granny looking one..:( i just want to be happy w/ myself again.. my husband loves me the way iam and wouldnt change anythin about me.. but im not doing this for anyone but me... :)

well so went to ahve my mamogram done this last week and everythin went fine but in the ultrasound they did they found a bengin cyst which means (not cancer) thank god but my ps told me that i should still have it checked out by a breast specialists jus to make sure nothin interfers w/ my sx? so i have made an appionment w/ the specialsit for this comin week.. i hope to god and pray that nothin comes of it.. and that he says it should be fine and not have to remove anythin maybe just biposy it ... idk.. but im so nervous i dont want my sx to be pushed back for anythin... i guess maybe caus im havin an implant put it i should make sure the cyst is nothin.. when i had my mamo the dr there said just to come back in 6 months and have it checkd agin but by then i would have my implants.. so maybe its alot harder to check w/ thos... :) well i will update agin.. plse pray for me and hope all goes well..:) thanks

ok so today i went to my dr appointment with the breast specialists.. and he says that they cyst is def probn nothin to woirry about and if i were not even havin surgery he would tell me jsut to come back in 6 months or so to get a follow up .. but since im having implants he advises that we jsut go ahead and schedule me for a biopsy... :( great... im sure and he is sure that it still isnt anythin but just for peace of mind were gonna do it.. i guess better to be safe than sorry.... rite.. well this is it and after this is all said and done and its all cleared.. no more testing .. ill be ready for surgery... my lab work came bacak great so that was a plus:) now im jsut ready for all of this to be done with.....
like im really tryin to be excited for christmas but i just cant.. idk im so stressed out with evcerythin else in my life with te surgery and the cyst .. and my husband being gone all the time and work.. i feel like a break is all i need sad to say but the only vac break i will get is when im in recovery.... ( i hope) well ladies have amerry christmas.. and for the girls whou have been giving me advice through out all of this im so thankful for u ... i need this site... i never in a million yrs tht there would be anythin like this site.. who woman help[ eachother out... :) i hope to take u along with my journey....

hi ladies... well today was my 2 week p/op.. and ps says iam healing so wonderful .. and fast... the girls have finaly dropped some and they feel less hard.. today the nurse went over the massages and excersises to me and thy flet weird... but i can def feel a diffrence when i do them... so i guess i have to do them everyday for a few weeks,,,
over all iam doing really good and i can tell a huge diff everyday,,,, im so glad i went through this and to all the ladies out there who is or just had the procedures... belve me each day ios diff and dont get down on urself.. the results pay off in time,, honestly being only 2 weeks out im so happy w/ my results and i would def do it allover again... w.out any thought...
the tummy still has some swelling and each day is worse or better,,, today was one of the good days,,,
i still have 1 whole week till i go back to work.. im enjoyin every bit off.. i actully go see my husband finally this sunday in mississippi... just till thursday.. its a long drive and i know ill be uncomftorable but i wont be driving my brother in law will be.. he works w/ him there and he happened to come home this wknd and is goin back sunday so o thought hay why not go w/ him and see my honey.. who i havne tsee in 2 weeks... he left me shortly after my sx:( which i was not prepared for... so he has not seem the results that iam getting each day with my body.. i send him pics but they jsut dont do justice sometimes ya know... so he is relly excited for me to come... we wont be doin a whole lot caus i am still recovering.. but just being w/ him is enuf...

so overall im not havin any pain my tummy looks so good and iam happy with it.. my inscison is slowly buyt surely improving iam now useing what they call silcone sheeting.. (expensive) but i canb tell it will do some wonders... they say results can take up to 3 months and im fine with that.. i jsut want it to fade as much as it possibly can.. i know it will never be 100 perecent gone but i just want it smoother... iy loks good thou.. i just got to keep remindin myself i still erly on with healing....
at times i have some sharp shootin pains but my ps sys that is normal and in time it will go awy.. my boobs have dropped alot and the swellin has gone down alot also.. i love em..lol
i am continuin to massage em well doin the breast excerscies... do any of u do em? makes em a little sore but helps alot i can alrdy tell how much softer they are..
well that is it for now ladies..:) i hope everyonwe is doin well...

iam at my 1 month mark.. yay,... tomorrow..
i went back to work this week and it was'nt so bad it did kick my ass today thou.. exaustion kicked in for sure... and my job was not at all about sitting down.. i work in a medical office bringin patient's back to rooms doin xrays and etc.. so i was quit bsy this week,,
but it di feel good to be back to work.. and back on my feet..
so back to the swellin.. it almos feels like i have alot of gas alot of pressure.. do any of u feel the same?:( im very happy with my results but i just hate the swelling.. how long does it last.. and what can i take for it? I did read somewhere there was some over the counter meds u cld take for swelling... does anyone know pof any? iam willin to try whatever...i did take some gas-x... lol which i just now took so we will see if that helps w/ the pressure at all..

so overall iam doing really good,, just cant wait to see my final results over the next few months... i do love the breast.. so crzy to think at first i was like OMG they are huge... and kinda wished i wld of went smaller.. and now im so glad i went as big as i did cause they for sure drop ladies.. for those who are early on they do drop and swelling goes down...
i'am so happy w/ em now and they are getting so much softer where they actually feel natural:)

pain i have none.. sometimes i will have some sharp shootin nerver pain on the sides where i was lipoed.. but honestly i dont notice much on the lipo no that its bad but idk maybe after the swellin goes down i will notice more:)
breast...:) hmmm no problems in that area.. i love it or should i say them... thy are getting much softer every day seems like... they did drop and swelling went down but iam truly happy w/ them....

overalll everythin has been amazing... i would do it all over agian if i had to:)

i think its almost like he knows not to...haha..

so over all my breast are awsome:) i love em... they have dropped alot in the last 3 months.. they feel so naturall so glad i went with silcone.... u can barely see the scars underneath where the implant was placed:0

the tummy is doin very good to every now and then i still get alot of swelling when i over due myself... rite on the icsion site.... but the scar is fadeing everyday.. im hopeing for it to fade even more.... i use silcone cream every day 3 times a day and i am also usin silcone sheeting... works awsome ladies...

lipo.. hmmmm idk somedays i say i can def tell and others im like nah u cant.. but idk i m sleepin on my side now:) which it took awhile..
