Tummy Tuck and Lipo: A Gift to Myself-New York 6/29 6 weeks post op- new pics

I am 33 years old with 3 children ages 17, 14, and 9. I had my first child at 16 and bounced back into shape in no time which for me was 125 lb. My second pregnancy was not as friendly to my body, I blew up to 168 pounds. I am only 5 feet so imagined I looked like a ball.

Ever since then I have struggle with my weight it has fluctuated from 135 to 165. I have thought about getting a tt for a year now. I finally went for a consultation in September and that is all I have thought about since.

After losing 14 pounds, my current weight is 152... I would like to be as close to 140 as possible for my surgery... As I mention before I had my consult in September, I felt very comfortable with my PS. He answered all of my questions. We decided that I would get a TT with full back Lipo. I went in last week to schedule my surgery and paid my deposit. I was a little upset when I found out that for safety reasons my PS no longer performs these two procedures together.... Instead I would have to schedule my surgeries a week apart....lipo of back first followed by TT a week later.....I felt un easy about this.... I went home and try to find as much information about liposuction recovery because my only other option was to schedule my lipo during April break and hope to be well enough to return to work 6 days post op...... So that is what I did my lipo is schedule for 4/6..... I felt this will give my body more time to recover and have less swelling before my tummy tuck in late June.

Ok so today I am exactly a month away from my first procedure full back lipo on 4/10. My TT is on 6/29.....Last night I had major guilt about spending so much money on myself and wondering is this the right thing I'm doing...... My Pre op appt is on 3/30 I hope everything goes well I'm getting blood work done within the next 2 weeks I'm currently taking iron supplements and my daily vitamins .
