28 days PO today and doing well - Tennessee, TN

Your girls look great and the TT looks like it is healing well. I had BR done the end if November and am so glad I did. I plan on a TT within this year to finish my mommy makeover. I don't know that I could have handled the two surgeries together. Good luck with your healing.

You dont have any after pictures yet. I bet your very happy u did the procedure and im surebyou look amazing...keep us updated

I am doing well and very happy with results. I have been taking photos I just have not posted. I will do so real soon. Right I' m trying to get use to the pulling and numbness and all the swelling.

I had my breast reduction about a year ago. I was very scared and worried, I prayed a lot. I was a 34J. I had lost a lot if weight and that's one of the reasons for the reduction. I had real bad headaches, neck pain, frustration with not being able to get the right fit, embedded bra strap prints. I know wow. My breast looks amazing I love them, I would do the surgery over again. I am happy to say I am a happy bouncing 36 D. I have to say after a year I'm still losing weight. What I'm trying to say do the breast reduction first and wait a while and then do the tummy tuck. Let ur body adjust a little. I'm not a doctor but from ur pictures u will be pleased at what u will look like after ur breast reduction. Don't feel guilty u deserve this mommy make over. U are going to feel great about ur decision. I'm going to have a pinna done in the next 6 months to a year. Please post pictures. I will do the same. Good luck and u wish u the best. Please keep me posted

I had a delayed mommy make over..lol. I had the tummy tuck last July and the breast reduction December 21st. It took quite a while for the pulling sensation to end, and still sometimes I feel very tight right in the center of the tt incision/scar. I thought about doing both at the same time, but sure glad I didn't. I just can't imagine trying to get around with that many drains, incisions and stuff. Kudo's to you and best wishes on your recovery!!

Don't be worried about the length of the surgery, my breast reduction lasted 3 hours, so Im sure if youre doing a tummy tuck at the same time it would about double the time! My surgery was supposed to be 2.5 hours and only ended up being 3, they cant really know positively how long it will take until they get in there (lol) This is the BESt thing I have ever done for myself. Dont feel guilty (I did and now I feel guilty for feeling guilty...hah) this is for YOU! and you deserve it!!

Oh, and the going under and not waking up thing, I am with you. I was terrified. But really, once I got the IV in (they ran saline for an hour or so before surgery) I was totally fine. When I got taken to anesthesia, right before surgery, I said "Ok how long does this happy juice take??" And as she was pushing the syringe of meds into my IV, I had a giggle fit. From there, I remember wheeling down the hall into surgery, climbing onto the bed, and getting oxygen. Then i woke up in recovery! It is as easy as taking a nap. The doctors will take GOOD care of you!

Thank you all for your encouragement. I am just a view hours away from my big day. I will be turning in shortly. I have to be at the hospital at 6am for my 8am surgery. I will update as soon as I can. Good nite all.

Hi Cocoa -- We had surgery the same day. I just had a full TT with muscle repair and lipo on my hips. Just taking it easy here. Hope you are feeling well. :)
