My PS encourages lipo to the stomach first before he will do the tt, so last year in June I had lipo to my abdomen. The recovery was so painful that if not for the hanging apron below the bb from loose skin and over extension above the bb with ripples that I didn't have before the lipo, I would not put myself through this again! My motto was better to put the fork down....oh well, I am scheduled for August 30th for tt and he is still thinking he will have to do a little lipo above the bb. Quite frankly he had his doubts that he could get the barrel look completely gone(I was initially hoping for the tt w/out muscle tightening, but he felt I would not be happy with it and the $ is the same w/or w/out), so I am hoping for the best and a smooth recovery over Labor Day weekend. I will need to have heparin injections for 10 days after, has anyone else? I am a RN and my husband is a physician, so the shots and drains are too familiar to me. I guess you could say too much information is not always helpful ;). I am very comfortable with my ps, he was trained at Duke University which is known for their plastic surgery fellowship. I have always carried weight in my abdomen and high in my abdomen which makes me feel 6 mths pregnant. I have worn cg pretty much 24/7 since my lipo because of the jiggling and numbness, so I know that won't be an issue, I feel insecure w/out. I am 47 with 3 children ages 9, 12, 13, 2 c-sections, the middle child a suction v-bac. My first two boys were large babies 8lbs+. I play tennis at least once a week and I am very self conscious about my mid section. I have not heard any regrets, so I am hopefully anticipating it will be worth it in the end. I get a professional discount from my PS, but including the lipo this is costing me about $10,000

Picked up most of my meds today except the heparin injections I have to give myself for 10 days post op, pharmacy had to special order it, it will be in tomorrow. I also noticed he ordered Ativan (anti anxiety) and I am going to need this soon...I am getting so nervous about the surgery that I am feeling nauseous. As a nurse I know perhaps more then most how serious this surgery is and although I want to be excited, I dwell on the complications and impending pain.
