Good afternoon ladies, just wanted to introduce myself, Im a married mom of 2.. just turned 40 weight fluctuates between 138-145ish... I just had my 2nd Baby in June of 2012 and my big 40 was in December, so I want to give myself the gift of getting my prebaby body back. I'm a short girl 5'1 but I carry my weight pretty well. Im still nursing my 7.5 month old so I put off the surgery til she was 9 months so I won't feel so gulity about possibly not being able to nurse and will pump and store some milk for her. I had lipo back in 2008 upper /lower abs; flanks and inner and outer thighs and was thrilled with my results so Im heading back for a 2nd round at the same doc. Recovery was 1 week with alot of rest!! but will see how it goes now that I have 2 tinys running around.. thankfully my 3 year old goes to school full time!

So I just spoke to my nurse coordinator, because I needed to inform her that I wanted to add my back.. she said probably for me I just needed lower.
Im so looking forward to this that the wait is almost unbearable.. I just keep focused.. I choose that date because we have a holiday built into the week.. less time off from work..I keep telling myself, patience, patience.. my nerves are fraying.. Im not nervous at all about the procedure.. I was well taken care of before and am nothing but confident everything will go well..everyone has there reservations and doubts.. especially being a mom now.. but Im so unhappy with myself that I have to do this..I hoping this improves my marriage also..low self esteem is for sure a mood killer.. Im rambling...it's one of those days were I wish it was this week.. and not in a month from now...blah...signing off...

T-30 days.... Sooo excited to think that the official 30day countdown has begun...I will be off of work for about 11 days altogether.. being that I took a 4 month maternity leave and came back in late October it will be a little strange staying home again...I've never been a long vacation kindof girl.. but it will be nice, my mom will be with me (she will be taking care of Ava(my 8month old) and it will be nice to have a week with her.. sometimes I feel like I miss so much because I'm a FT working mom...Im hoping by monday (day 4) or tuesday (day 5) I will be strong enough to be alone with Ava.. love my mommy but she can drive me nuts LOL and my Hubbs.. well Im sure he will be happy for her to go home! LOL ok.. back to work!:O)

Today is my first day back at work, and Ive had 2 post ops. Im still very much swollen specially the ab's... the back is lumpy and hard... :O( but I see change and I already know to be patient... Although for some reason I expected to notice more of a difference and I dont at least not yet.

Im soooo itchy and I dont remember being itchy at all before. Im not happy at all with my compression garment, Im wearing it on the last clasp since fay 1 and I dont feel it's giving me the support that I need so Im wearing it with my binder. Im not wearing the binder at work though, that would be too noticeable, Im ordering the same garment and smaller and in ivory so I can wear a white top in peace.
I also just got my "." so im more bloated and sore then ever. I know I sound pretty miserable but im not... Im just hoping that in 2 months from now Im starting to really like my result... patience patience...I keep telling myself..
I also rejoined wieght watchers.. because I love it and I want to help things along...

Great review?

Do you have updated pics or thoughts on your second procedure? Would love to know how you are doing.

liatorp 20 Apr 2013

How's your recovery going?

lilbit211 3 Apr 2013

Hello just seeing how you are, it helps to rub some peroxide on the itching areas well at least for me it did lol

hottiebun 3 Apr 2013

thanks I will for sure try that because the itching isn't horrible but boy it's annoying as all heck!!!

lilbit211 22 Mar 2013

Hello Hope surgery went well :) I'm one month post op now with new pictures. Enjoy the new you although I still think you were gorgeous before.

hottiebun 23 Mar 2013

Yay have to hop over and check you out my surgery went very well I woke up as if nothing had been done no adverse side effects from being under! Come find out they changed my drug protocol so that I wouldn't feel sick!! Kudos to my docs I'm sore as heck but doing great, I rejoined weight watchers and am back on track to skinny!!! Yay

Deserveit 23 Mar 2013

Excellent! I'm hoping you are feeling well! Remember, any discomforts; "this too shall pass"!

Deserveit 20 Mar 2013

How it going for you? I had surgery (Lipo, Breast Aug) on the 12th.

hottiebun 20 Mar 2013

I'm doing ok! My surgery is tomorrow at 6:45 am, I'm dying to see some new pics of you!! I'm sure you look fabulous!!! Thank you for asking!!!

Deserveit 21 Mar 2013

Thinking of you today! Have lots of patience! Follow doc's directions. WEAR your garment! (makes a huges difference in how I feel each day.) Take your meds. Rest and walk and rest and walk. I'm gettin' through but it isn't easy. 10 days today.... Patience! *No new pics of me until this bruising is gone ;) LOL. It looks a lot worse than it is... Peaceful and calming thoughts heading your way this morning.

hottiebun 23 Mar 2013

hottiebun 13 Mar 2013

Thankfully I really dont have a cough per say! but I have Mucous Galore.. ill!!! lol lol Im hoping that the mucinex will completely dry me out by weeks end... I love how FLAT your tummy looks.. like you have Zero fat in it!

hottiebun 20 Feb 2013

@ria428 looking at the before and after of my thighs..in '08 and the post partum picture in summer of 2012 I'm so happy I did it.. I really am happy with my results and still think my thighs look really really good! :O)

ria428 20 Feb 2013

Today is my 2 week countdown to my lipo of my legs. Your recovery wasn't too bad. I heard from others that it takes weeks. Is the bruising bad?

hottiebun 20 Feb 2013

Honestly, It looked like someone took a bat to me.. and I remember, dont ask me which one. but one leg drained and the other one didn't, the one that drianed a ton (I had to go up 2 flights of stairs.. the second set looked like someone got beat up there.. lots of pinky fluid) healed much faster then the other.. the other one was more swollen and took a little longer to heal, I had no drains my tiny inscions were open that helped. it wasn't terrible I wasnt in any pain, just VERY Very Sore, I remember I slept ALOT.. didnt take me weeks.. but I did wear my garment for 6 weeks religously and I had my surgery in July 08 can you say HOT! Lol

liatorp 16 Feb 2013

@Hottiebun: You look amazing even post 2 C/S! My pre-baby/pre-lipo tummy looks similar to your post C/S x2 pics! Amazing. But, I'm sure you will be thrilled with your post surgery body nonetheless and I support your decision. Soooo, I'm in a similar boat as you were in 2008. Haven't had kids yet and can't stand the idea of not having some contouring before conceiving, carrying, birthing, & breast-feeding two children. I'm thinking about conceiving the middle of next year. My questions are these: If you could do it all over again, would you still get the lipo in 2008 or wait until you finished having your children and breastfeeding? Do you think that having lipo made you at a higher risk for developing stretch marks? Even now, presurgery, do you like your tummy better/the same/or worse than you did before your first lipo? Thank you so much for your time and willingness to share.
