My mommy makeover journey 5
Post of 3 months: Today I have my 3 moth post op appointment. I love my outcome, I have healed well and I love my new body. I still cant believe i got this done. It was a dream of mine to have nice boobs and a nice stomach. I absolutely love my outcome.
I have been struggling with keeping my weight constant, I go from 122 lbs-128 lbs. It's really hard for me not to gain weigh especially because i have a sweet tooth. I'm looking forward to be able to start working out again, i really want to tone my legs butt and arms, Dr. J already helped me get a beautiful stomach but i would love to tone it up a little and make sure i don't let my self go. I am supposed to get my period and have been feeling bloated so besides the fact that I'm bloated i think my tummy still looks good.
Dr. J made me look so natural and beautiful. My husband loves the outcome, and I do too.
I still feel a little bit of numbness on my tummy but dr said it will take about a year for that to go away but besides that i haven't had any problems or complications. Yes the recuperation part was extremely hard but not impossible. I really give thanks to my dear mommy that helped me through that she was very supporting and helpful. She was so impressed at how fast and nicely i have healed. She was also impressed at how mice Dr. J and the staff was. If i ever need to get anything else done again i would definitely go to Dr. J again.
My breast scar you cant even tell i have a scar, and i still have sensation on both my breast, my belly button star and tummy tuck scar are still dark, but that's the way my c-section scars were at first and after 4 years of having my c-section scars they were the same color of my skin they blended in with all my stretchmarks.
I will post before pictures when i get them off my external hard drive :)

My mommy makeover journey 4
Post op day 11: Today was a good day, I had 2 good friends come over and that helped keep my mind off of the clock, and the pain that I have been having because of the drains. Thank God I have my appointment tomorrow. I'm scared of the ride over there, I'm afraid that with the car movement that my drains are going to bug me. I'm super exited to get them out tho, I know its going to hurt a lot when he pulls them out but I just want them out asap. Overall my tummy tuck doesn't hurt anymore, my boobs are lower, softer and I didn't lose my sensitivity on my nipples. I'm able to race my arms higher. I think I might be able to straighten up when I walk but I don't want to risk it, I'm still walking like an old lady, and because of it my back hurts. I try to be seated with my back hunched and I save my lower back and my butt for when I sleep. I had been taking naps during the day except for two days ago and today, it is so nice to be able to take a nap during the day without having to worry about my kids, I only wished my butt wouldn't hurt.
My Mommy Makeover Journey
Post op day 10: I haven't been writing much because every time I would get on the computer my arms and boobs would hurt from typing. I was reading my review and noticed a lot of mistakes, there was no proof reading involved. Sorry about that.
As far as my journey goes, I have been annoyed, tired. My cut or boobs don't hurt as much as my butt. Sitting in the same position for a week can make that area hurt really bad. two nights ago I couldn't sleep. Yesterday I remembered that my brother was playing in the pool with a pool doughnut. I asked my mom to wash it for me so I can sit on it, that was a genius idea. I sat on it all day yesterday and my butt was back to normal. My mom went back to the dollar store to get me more just in case that one popped.
I have been able to help my mom out more by picking up after my self and it helps me, because I do a lot of walking. My 5 year old asked me if why I was walking like an old lady. He even started walking hunched over. I feel funny because I put my arms back to balance my self when I walk, and I get tired fast.
My mom has been making me arnica and chamomile tea, she says its good for the swelling and bruising. I have still been taking the flax seed pills to help me go #2 and the stool softener.
The binder has been giving me problems: On my left side it keeps rolling up when I sit and it's been hurting my cut, I noticed that the memory foam looking thing that is under my binder keeps going up. I asked my mom today to fix me up without taking off the binder and she lowered the foam so that it sits over my cut and not have the binder rub on it and make it hurt so bad. When the binder would roll up it would hurt my side where the lipo was done. My flanks feel like they are bruised, it hurts, but lately I have felt really itchy.
Also the upper right had, behind my boob and my binder I have had a problem since the beginning, I noticed that my bra was sitting under the binder and since the binder is so tight the bra was getting marked on my skit and was making my skin hurt really bad, so my mom got a fluffy pad, the kind used during your period, and placed it in that area so that it doesn't hurt me.
Another problem I had with this binder since the beginning is that I'm only 5' tall and so my torso is not as long as other people, so the binder would push my boobs up because I was hunched over all the time. So right under my boobs I folded the binder out a little just so that I can slouch enough so that I don't stretch my tummy skin and allow my boobs space so they can drop.
I hope this info helps any of you out there get comfy.
When I was doing research on mommy makeovers I saw videos on how I had to lay and at the time I thought the position was comfy, it is but not when you have to maintain that position for a week. I thought the hardest part was going to be the surgery, now I realize the hardest part is the recovery.
I got my surgery Friday June 13 2014 I have to go back June 24th to get my drain tubes taken out, I cant wait. It's annoying to have to fix them every time I use the restroom. I think I might have pulled one out a little and its been bugging me.
I feel a lot better after my mom helped me fix my binder, my cuts have been itchy lately. I feel like my boobs look a little more normal, I can't wait to see my result.
Hope this was helpful, Happy recovery, and I need to go now, my arms are getting tired. Good luck everyone and remember we need to be patient which is something I struggle with. I will post pictures one I have pictures of my results.

465 N. Roxbury Dr., Beverly Hills, California
I went to my first appointment, the office was very clean in a nice location. I got there and Diana welcomed me in, she offered me water. I filled out my paperwork and didn't take long for them to take me in. The Dr. was very nice, this was the first appointment I went to where the nurse was in the room while my meeting with the Dr. He told me he recommended I get the implants inserted through the areola and I was very hesitant and he asked me why was I hesitant, he asked me what were my concerns and wanted me to feel comfortable with my decision. When I went in to talk to Diana she showed me her incision and told me she didn't lose sensation on her breast. I asked her if she had anyone that had had a mommy make over with Dr. J that I can see the results and she brought one of the nurses in to her office and showed me her results. She even let me though her boob so I can feel how a silicone implant feels. The second visit I had I didn't wait in the waiting room too long either, I got my blood drawn and when I walked into Diana's office the Dr. was there and he welcomed me in with a hug and asked me if I had anymore questions, I did I asked him about bra sizes and he waited till I asked all my questions. I told him I was scare and he reassured me there is nothing to be scared about, that there are many mommy make overs that he has done.
