Hi All I just want to say this website has been the greatest resource for my upcoming surgery. I am scheduled for a TT, MR LIPO of the Flanks and a BA with Silicone Mod profile implants in 2 weeks. Super nervous. Stats 35 y/o with 3 children 16yr, 7 yr and 3yr. 5'6 135 pounds the pooch is just been driving me crazy for the last 3 years after my dd. currently a A cup and would like to be a full C.
Family less supportive than i would hope for so i have just stopped discussing it. hubby is terrified and is terrifying me, smh My GF just had a smart lipo job in November and she looks absolutely fab so shes my encouragement. Her BA is scheduled for March so we are in this together. I work on a desk job so i am hoping the 3 weeks i took off is more than enough time to gt back to work. So scared of the pain.
Going for pre op on the 9th, hoping i can get a pain pump. I went totally natural with al 3 of my kids so i think my tolorence for pain is ok, but this just seems like a different kind of pain. My dr was recommended by my sister n law he did her BA and she looks awesome. only complaint she had is that she wishes she went bigger, lol.
I have horrible anxiety issues and they are setting in, now.. its less than 2 weeks away. I am makin gup all kind of problems and sicknesses in my mind now that i've never had b4. I feel like im have breathing issues, lol I made an appt with my primamry to check me out again b4 the surgery just to be safe. i dont smoke never have and am a healthy woman. i have never had any issues, but the surgery is putting all these issues into my head.
Im going to rent a recliner for recovery and my sister is going to help me out for the 1st 5 days until i can get around on my own then my husband can take it fr there. He's very queezy and not built for this type of stuff. This upcoming weekend i will order all of my supplies needed for recovery. I hope i am making the best decision to do both @ the same time.. It seems like so much now that its getting closer.

11 days out of surgery and feeling well. Only problem is the back pain. Stomach is fine swollen but fine. Dr kep my belly button, anyone else have this? I've been sleeping in the bed for the last two nights as I couldn't take the recliner for another second. I've been standing straight for at lease 2 days now. Boobs still feel heavy is this normal. I went bra shopping today and fit a 34 C how happy I am. I don't think this was the worst pain ever in my opinion, I went in expecting a lot worse. Happy I did this for myself. It was worth every dime , lol

I'm sorry you're having so much anxiety about this. Maybe you could discuss that with your doctor and see if there's something he or she could give you to help you out.
Three weeks before returning to a desk job sounds reasonable. From what I've heard, it is a different sort of pain than childbirth, but I think it's more soreness and less cramping/ripping/tearing, if you know what I mean. :0) You can do this!
We'd love to know who your surgeon is. And please keep us posted on how you're feeling as your big day gets closer.
Deep breaths!
12 Days and counting. Im going to rent my recliner this weekend and set up shop in a room in the house where the kids dont frequent.
I just found out another friend of mine is scheduled for the day after me. She's much more clam about everything so hopefully she can take me thru the next week and a half and keep me SANE! I have a pair of comfy jammies to wear to the op and i will just put a heavey sweatshirt over. Its feels so much better talking about this here:)
Glad we can provide a forum for you to talk. The ladies in this community are wonderful and I'm sure you'll get lots of good support!
Check out the Forum tab> "January Tummy Tuckers Check In Here" Lots of us Jan tt'ers there with good questions/answers, advice and support. :-)
So i went back for pre op appt with my doctor to go over everything, im going with 375 cc silicone moderate profile, periareola incision. my scripts have been filled and i met with my primary care in regards all the made up issues i was having. I hear alot of you say u were scripted percocet. My dr scripted me vicodin. is this normal as well?? I have muscle relaxers, zofran for nausea and keflex anti biotics..i had a whole slew of test run and guess what. Im fine, lol.. ANXIETY is a muther!!! I have to work tomorrow and then the big day is Wed. Im feeling like i should do my hair b4 then since i wont be able to wash it for a few days. What stool softener do you ladies recommend? And what are the anti bruising and swelling meds and where can i get them?
The bruising/swelling meds are: Bromelain (these are large pills you swallow; 500mg 3x daily) and Arnica 30x (these are tasteless tablets that dissolve under your tongue; 2 tablets 4x daily). I bought mine at GNC and I know Vitamin Shoppe carried them as well.
Glad your pre-op appt went well! Almost there!
I will update more tomorrow .. Btw this recliner rocks
Back to the land of the living and feeling good! 8 days po. I had my drain removed on day 5 I was prepared for the worst but it wasn't that bad. I'm off pain mess since day 4 and doc said everything is looking good...
