Thanks fit diva I'm really nervous these last days that's all I can obsess about its not the pain that concerns me which it should. Lol it's the being put under general anesthesia for over 4 hours:( how are you doing? Are you as nervous as I am I wish I could be brave but I'm a chicken.lol did you get your garments? Mines are here and just waiting for me to be put in them. I hope your surgery goes well will post some pics of before and after soon:)
Luna I had those same concerns but for some reason I feel a peace about it. I think it mainly be ause of connecting with women here who go u see them they are back online the day of or after telling us about it! Don't be afraid you will be fine you have a lot of us here wishing you the best. You can be brave think about your amazing tummy and boobs look at pictures and feel it. I'm more thinking about the pain but after 4 c sections I am positive I can handle it that's what I'm telling my self. : ) my pre-op is tomorrow. I am focusing on staying positive. I think it will help your outcome : ) stay focused and think about your reasons for doing this. You'll be fine. I can't wait to hear about your experience and see pictures! It's almost time I'm so excited for you!
I'm right after you on Thursday!! I think I've lost a few pounds because of nerves/nausea. Good luck!
Good luck!!! You will be fine. I'm 11 days out and it gets easier every day!!!
I will be praying for you. You will look fantastic.
Luna, I too was pertified about the anestheastic. 5 years ago i had gasteric lapband surgery and my recovery wasn't too good from the anesthetic. Make sure you really talk to yout anesthetist about it!

I did, and my surgery was 5.5 hours and my experience has been better than my 45min previous surgery!!!

First day sucks! Stay on the meds..... I was off heavy meds by day 3 however I won't hesitate to grab a heavir drug if I feel so much as a tiny pain.

Another tip from me is MEDITATE! Before and after! I purchased "successful surgery" meditation and listened to it 2 days prior and immediately after. I ensured my partner had it ready to put into my ears the second he saw me out of recovery! I figured it can't hurt and it definately kept me relaxed!

You will do well x

Hi all I was suppose to have had my mommy...

Hi all
I was suppose to have had my mommy makeover last year in march but I decided to put it off until this year because I thought it would be better to go to a doctor were I live:) I am having a full TT and breast implants with a lift on January 31st everything is paid for but I'm so scared I'm having second thoughts. The pain doesn't care me it's the going under general anesthesia I just want it over with! I just wanna feel safe and calm

Thanks for sharing your story on RealSelf! I'm so sorry you had to deal with a difficult pregnancy and postpartum depression. But I'm glad you're taking your body back. We'd love love love to see before and after photos if you'd consider posting them.

Also, check out JenBob's 10 Things I Wish I'd Known Before A Mommy Makeover. It's a great read.

Please come back and update us! We're here to give you information and support in whatever capacity we can.

Hi luna llena! It has been 19 days since I had my full tt, brest lift w/implants and lipo done on my flanks. I can tell you already, it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am a mommy of 3 and my baby will be turning one next month so I completly understand how you feel. I felt trapped inside my body and feeling sexy was completly out of the question. For me, the worst part was trying to tuck in my "pouch" but my shirts always found a way to stick to it.

If you have any questions about the procedure or recovery, just let us know.
Yes, hiding that pooch! Since my last pregnancy, twins, I have wanted to wear a tight garment under all of my clothes! Ready to be rid of this! :). So encouraging to hear how happy you are 19 days out:). How has it been with the one year old? I am nervous to not be able to love on them!
Good luck, I'm having mine 3/7. Keep us posted, pics if you can. Good luck!
