o i m sure a ton has.actually i know "a few"yep and that is cause i work in showbiz,for a long time, (late 30s now)and time for the ole'NIP N TUCK,after also two teen girls who "understand"mommie turn to be spoil n pamper by her OWN SELF a lil bit by treatin mi self! same as a car,hell we spent this in pymts a year if we are paying on it or over couple years depend on what type of car,and i know a few guys who got FAKE but VERY SEXY flat stomach work w/
ABS all sexy n perfect now lol and or use the steroid
alot of them we know this from press,media,but i see it up close,and i mean life just too short,to NOT take care ourselves,and hell,if we need HELP in the belly

so i hope one day ALL CAN GET IT DONE who are again doing it for YOURSELF,that is the best thing,
as others say here.

Follow up conversation hours later... and "I hope it is day wedding, because Sunday I want to try and take in a day party... being Menorial day weekend and all.
I don't think he has a clue what I'm getting my self in or may be he thinks I will recover quickly and he can show me off... I don't know... what I do know is, I don't think so... love him but let me get to the post up phase first not sure why we are making plans so soon.
Has anyone was able to party 2 weeks later?

Thank you Sassy, when did you have yours done?
rollercoster indeed. I know in the ens it will be all worth it.
March 20, 2012
Hey Sassy - partying two weeks post op is going to be a little rough. You will feel much, much better than week one, but not great. You won't have much energy (you'll tire quickly) and you'll get very sore, very easily and start walking hunched over automatically (in front of everyone) and not be able to correct it. Just keep that in mind. I had my first outing on PO day 16 and lasted 1.5 hours before I thought I was gonna die. Sorry for the brutal honesty. I'm just about at week 3 and really feel myself coming around. I have plans to go to a party this weekend and I am going to have few drinks - I'll let you know how I fare...I'm a little nervous given how easy it is for me to feel like I've been hit by a bus since my surgery.

Sorry I called you Sassy!! I meant beauteafulME - but had just read your previous post and had Sassy on my mind!!

No worries Cutie:)...I am a bit wassup when ready... Lol. Thank you for the feedback... I'm not going to take any chances and planning on a serious talk... It will be hard for him... Because we do almost everything together... My road dog, so I know he will understand after I educate... Note I did encourage him to come to my consult, but couldn't make it due to work...

Many well wishes on your surgery. I think you need to sit in bed and "offhandedly" read him some of the posts from here. He needs to know that it may take months to feel like the" old" but "new" you. It would be awful for him to feel like a bait and switch were pulled on him (simply because he wasn't educated on the subject), and some men are just a bit more clueless than others... ;) Have the conversation so that you will have the help and understanding from him that you will definitely need.

great suggesstion,bbwbabi. I will print out a could of the blogs for him to read... this is why this site is so cool. thank you, I will let you know how it works out.
March 20, 2012
Hello beauteafulME, I go in for my TT on May 4th, I have two weeks off from work and then I have to go back.. I am a little freaked out over that time and hope that I feel good enough to go back, as I won't have an option. I can keep you posted on my progress as you will have your surgery shortly after.. I also agree, make sure your hubby knows that this is major surgery.. Best of luck
