8 weeks post op/ can't believe Dr. Hegg passed away!

After looking at this site I have decide to go through with this procedure. I am carrying around some extra weight from the birth of my second child and I figured I might as well put it too use lol! Prior to my second pregnancy I was pretty happy with my body, but it has always frustrated me that any extra fat I have goes solely to my mid section, specifically my lower back and love handles.

Now that I am 10-15 lbs heavier it is even more obvios. My butt looks even smaller now that I am bigger!! How is that possible? It hasn't been an easy decision, but I decided to go through with this so i could really be happy with how i look. I have worked out like crazy in the past and although it helps, you can't really choose where you naturally hold your fat. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am worried how I will handle my two kids in the month following the surgery (my husband will be home the first week), and can't help but feel guilty for being selfish. I just keep telling myself that the recovery will be short in comparison to loving how i look in clothes and out lol. My husband has been super supportive without pushing me into it, which definitely helps. I am sharing on realself because I don't plan to talk about it with my friends and family. I feel guilty about not being honest to people, but i don't want to be judged. I wish I didn't care what people think but I do! I don't want the word to spread that I have a fake booty! Which btw it won't be fake because it's all me fat lol!!(thats what i tell myself to feel better). I don't think im a superficial person, but i am tired of not being happy with my body and i feel like this surgery will take care of that. I chose my doctor thanks to the reviews on realself (thanks ladies!), a good consult and his results.I am not looking for drastic results, just a fuller rounder bottom, with a smaller waist. I want an improvement on my shape without looking like you put my head on someone elses body lol. Thats it for now!

I am now one day post-op. Everything went well the day of, the only downside is that my blood work came back showing I have anemia, so the doctor said if the fat he is getting has a lot of blood in it he wouldn't be able to take out as much. So far my butt and waist looks good, but I am not trying to get examine it too much because i know it they will both change. The first day home was rough, but I already feel much better. My butt is sore and stiff and my abs are the worst, they feel like they are burning. It really isn't too bad though, especially with the pain killers. I will post pictures soon!

Question- my doctor doesn't use a board for he tummy area, but I have seen girls get great results with them so I ordered one but I am not sure how to use it. Do you just put it under your garmet? I am 4 days post op and want to do anything I can to maximize my results! Thank you!!
