I have 3 kids...largest was 9lbs 7oz. My belly is flabby and saggy. My breasts are small.
I am excited and nervous all at the same time!!! I've been wanting to do this for a long time and now that it's here I can't hardly believe it!
Everyone: What pain meds did your PS prescribe????...

I have had 3 kids...not having anymore. I weighed 120 lbs when I got pregnant with my first son, I weighed 197 lbs the day I had him. I lost all of that weight except for 10 lbs and I looked fine! I got on "the shot" and I gained about 55 lbs and could never get it off..no matter what I did. Well then came the second son...I weighed 164 lbs when I got pregnant with him and I weighed around 235 lbs when I had him. I got back down to 170ish and then I got pregnant with my daughter. I weighed around 240 lbs when I had her.
With diet and some exercise I have managed to get down to 175 lbs (I'm 5'7"). I have a very saggy belly...no breasts and some extra fat on the hips that won't go away.
On Monday, Feb 21st, 2011 I am having a full tummy tuck, breast augmentation (under the muscle 500cc saline) and lipo on the hips.
Questions that won't stop running through my head:
(1) What if something happens to me? (God forbid)
(2) Am I going too big on the implants? Will I look stupid???
(3) Am I going to go stir crazy the first week?? lol!!
(4) Am I going to freak out and back out??
Ok...too many things to mention!! I guess I'm looking for some "it'll be ok" and "you'll be fine"...and all that warm fuzzyness!

It has been a little over 6 weeks since my Mommy...

I had little pain through recovery. I would say the lipo has been the most painful and it just feels like a deep bruise, so nothing major. I would do it 10 times over!!
So I decided to start tanning today....wow! ...

I guess I will have to live with a white belly for a while....oh well!!
Otherwise I am doing great!! I went to Wal Mart and bought a neoprene Gold's Gym workout band ($5) for my belly to help with the swelling. It makes me sweat some of the fluid out. And it adds a little extra support.

My rating:
Excellent Doctor! My results are better than I imagined! He is wonderful and his staff is absolutely amazing!!!!!
Good luck today, Jade!
Good luck to you!! I can't wait for my surgery on Monday!!!
I picked up my meds today, the doctor gave me vicodin for pain, he also gave me a few other meds to take before and after one is a muscle relaxer and the others are for infection which I have to take before and after the surgery and the others are to relax me. Ya that's what I need is to be relaxed.
The first week I will be recovering at my Moms so all should be good, the second week I will be home recovering with my Step-Daughter and older boys taking care of me.
I took my before pics last night and will try and get them uploaded today. Did you take any before pics? My boyfriend said it's important to have before pics. He is so right because when I started my weight loss journey I didn't take before pics and wish I did.
Good luck to you!! I will be thinking about you and your recovery at the same time I will be recovering.
My grandma is a nurse and my aunt is as well and they will be taking care of me the first week. I might need to send my 2 yr old to my other Aunts house..?? My boys are 4 and 11 so I think they will be ok..
I need to get my lap top ready so I can check on ya'll during our recoveries!!
