“On the Road to Becoming Flawless - Milwaukee, WI”

Well here is my story...I am 29 and I have 6 children and out of the 6 children I have a set of twins.I've been wanting a tummy tuck since I had the twins,Which was almost 3 years ago. I won't blame it all on the twins but they definitely did a number on my stomach.

I have a small support system and reason being I did not let alot of people know that I have made the decision to have this surgery because people can be very judgemental. I am not nervous at all. I am super excited and so ready to be on the road to recovery! I would like to be more confident in my body and look better in my clothes! This is also an early birthday present for me!

Today I paid my PS his fee of $4600.00 and last Friday I had paid my Hospital fee of $1650.00. The last fee I will have to pay is the anesthesia fee of 937.50 later this week. That is the total break down of the surgery fee. I feel like a little kid in a candy store, very anxious and excited!!! I am so ready!!! I haven't started to get my post op items yet. My plan is to do later on in the week or this weekend..Along with making sure my house is in tip top shape. If anyone have any suggestions please feel to share them with me..

Well I know I haven't updated in a while..... I just have been resting!!! I had my surgery March 1@ 7:30am. I had to be there at 5:30 am. I arrived there on time but the guy whom checking in patient was moving a little slow so I believe it was almost 6am before I got put into my room.. Once I get my things started to go a little like clockwork. Then around 7 am I got wheeled back to the holding area . At that I met the nurse whom was gone be with me in surgery. Shortly after that I meet with my Ps he did his drawings. Then the anesthesiologist came in introduce himself and he was the one who started my I.V and gave me what they call "Happy Juice" in my I.V lol.... And maybe 5 or 10 minutes before 7:30am I was wheeled back to the OR . Then all remember is waking up in recovery. I was not sore but I did feel different and I look down and things appeared to be flatter then when I came lol The staff at the hospital was very nice and helpful... They made sure I had everything I needed and made sure I was comfortable!! I believe I left the hospital around 1pm and came home went back to bed. That's pretty much how my Thursday went!! So I can despite then pain my surgery was a success!! Thank you all for the support and prayers...

Well today I post op appointment @ 10:15 am. I guess what I got both drains remove today!!!!! I am so glad they where always in the way and they was driving me crazyyy!!! Other than the drains I am doing much better still walking like a little old woman.. lol can someone tell me at what point will I be able to stand up straight??

Updated on 11 Mar 2012:
I am pretty good still!! I have been resting and relaxing a lot still... Last night I notice I have a rash on my right side of my stomach.. I am thinking that it is the binder but am not 100% sure..I have not changed anything like my soap,lotion,or laundry detergent... I don't know so my boo went to get me some cortisone cream.. Let's see what happens... Plus I will leave a message for my Dr.

Updated on 14 Mar 2012:
Well let's see.... I am doing fine. I got to go outside today with my little ones and went for ice cream. That was really nice along with the weather. Plus My four year old kept asking me yesterday can we go somewhere and I was like maybe tomorrow cause Mommy is not feeling to well... and she was like well can you walk and i said yes.Then asked me well can you drive and I said yeah but I don't feel well. So she said well let's go somewhere..I just laughed an told her again that I don't feel good and I promise to take her outside to play tomorrow.Which was today! So that's what we did minus me lol By the time we came back with the ice cream I was swollen lol So I had to ask one of my older boys to take them outside for me. So with that being said I can't wait for the swelling to go away...So I can enjoy my little ones again!! I finally can walk standing up straight but when I swell up I become hunched up again lol That sucks!! lol I go back to see my PS on the 21st. He will be removing my tape off my scar so I will be able to see how that looks soon..His assistant said I can bring along my new spanx so he can see it and that I probably will be able to wear that instead of this bulky binder... So I will have to go find one soon. But I will definitely be glad to not have to wear any of this stuff. I was wearing all this kind of stuff to hide the old belly. I am so ready to show off the new me. I just love my results even though I am swollen..lol And I still have to wear a tank top under my binder just so I won't breakout in a rash again. Well that's the only update I have for now!!

Updated on 15 Mar 2012:
Well today I am 2 weeks post op!!! I feel pretty good.. I have been of my pain since I was 5 days post op. I still have some swelling but I believe each week it gets better. I got both drain removed at my first post op appointment and that was March 7...And what a relief that was because they end up being nuisance to me! I am just starting to walk standing up straight this week also but when I swell I do become hunched over a little bit. But otherwise everything is good!! Happy Healing everyone!!!

I am 3 weeks today!!! I had a post op appointment Wednesday. My Ps took derma bond tape off of my scar. I longer have wear that bulky binder!!!! I was told to get a spanx girdle and wear that daily for about 3 more weeks. I have to take some pic of scar and tummy. Not to much has changed because their still is some swelling which is to be expected...I have been trying old clothes and new clothes and I am lovin my new look!!! I order a new sexy dress for my birthday party!! I am so ready to show of my new body.. I will be looking into to some gym memberships so I can start exercising and toning up when my 6 weeks is up!! Happy Healing to everyone!! Remember to take one day at a time!!

It is like 3 am in the morning!! I can't believe I am still woke!! lol I figured I would go ahead an do an update before I go to bed... I am 4 weeks and 1 day post op as of now!! Yea!! Time is flying by for me a little bit ...I am not in any pain and have not been since I was 5 days post op. Nor have I been taking any pain meds since then.. I still have a quite a bit of swelling still! But this week I have been experiencing what I believe as some you ladies call it "Swell Hell" . I have not been letting it bother me much but I do hope it goes down by next weekend lol I am having a birthday party then.... I have been doing the massages and Vitamin E oil on my scar & tummy so lets see how things go with that....I am liking how things are looking as far as my tummy and scar! The scabs have been peeling off as I do the treatment everyday so don't be alarmed when you look at my pics!! lol Other than the swelling everything is going well.. I still do my motherly duties but I do try to take it easy still because I still kind of find my self being tired quite a bit but that is improving! I am posting pics that you been waiting for me to do..lol It is just hard for me to do it myself but I did it the best I could so you all can see them good.. For me it's a big improvement but I hope I can improve my results more with exercise when I can start doing them..And of course it may also start to improve when this swelling goes down as well!!! I am not as lucky as some of you ladies whom I see be flat and can't even tell they swollen right away... I know we all are different and there are other factors involved so in the mean time all I can do is wait .. Patience is a Virtue!! Happy Healing Ladies!!
