Hi everyone, so I did it! I have scheduled my "mommy makeover"!!! :-) scared as heck, yes, but yay! I have a 6, 4, and 4 month old, and my cute little body I once had, lets just say it deflated lol. I am scheduled sept 15th, so reality hasn't hit me yet but I def have anxiety just thinking about it. I am a DD large ol' birthing hips with some muffins and cookies mixed in. Lol. My warrior marks, which spreads across my belly and back, and the ever lovely pooch. I'm getting a full tummy tuck, lipo to flanks, and a lift (yay). I'm nervous as heck, and I have Googled just about everything on tummy tucks. Any tips out there are welcome. I'm going to have full care for about 10 days, my 2 eldest goes to shoo and I will have just my then 5 month old. Nervous I'd that's enough time? Any who I'm hoping for a fast recovery great results and no regrets! I will keep you posted!!

So my procedure has been changed to Wednesday September 17, three extra days to freak myself out lol. So far, when I start getting that gut grabbing twinge of anxiety I pass it off and tell myself I still a while lol. So from my reading I see recliner or couch, which one of you seasoned ladies suggest? My bed is more ideal even though it's up a flight of stairs, I'm planning on coming up them once and it becoming my own recovery habitat ha ha. My only recliners are down stairs where helpers and kids will be, I may be able to talk hubby into brining it up. Worth it yay or nay?

Congratulations noelle6789!! I just had mine done on August 15. I have to say a medical life chair was a must for me. I had a BA, hernia repair, and TT. I too have my bed upstairs and there was no way I was climbing those stairs. My husband found a medical lift chair for me in Tampa so PM me and I will give you details. Good luck and I completely understand the nervous feeling! Everything is going to be awesome. Congratulations again!!

I used Dr. Coberly and I am 7 days post op and I have to say that I do think it is worth it. I am in love with my new girls and my tummy is getting better and better daily. The lift chair is a definite must in my opinion and what I also found helpful is a walker and a shower chair. My husband found the shower chair and lift chair at A-Health Aid off Armenia. Completely reasonably priced as well. Great news is if they don't currently have a chair available, mine will be back in time for you to rent. Everything is going to be amazing! The worst part for me are these drains that hopefully I will be getting out today!!!! My appointment is at 10am so fingers crossed :)

Im using dr. Welchx how was the first few days and pain level..n.nas you can see im NERVOUS! Did you get drained removed?? Congrats btw! Hows your recovery now?

First few days were difficult but manageable. If you stay ahead of the pain with your meds, it will help substantially. Drains were all out as of yesterday :) feel so much better! I can sincerely say that each day gets better and better. Just take it a day at a time and you will do great. Thank you so much noelle6789 :) yours is going to hr awesome! How are you? I wanted to let you know that surgery for me was a hair under 5 hours. For you it flies! Are you ready?
