I am a young mother of 3 children. I had my first at age 20, and never regained my cute body after that. I am now 27 and my body looks much older. I put myself through school for 4 years as a single mother, and now that I have found someone that loves me as much as I love him, it's time to treat myself to something special! I plan on having a BA with lift, FTT and lipo to flanks.

I just scheduled my Mommy Makeover for January 23. I am so excited, I never thought I would have enough nerve to actually do this, but I have wanted this for a long time. Each pregnancy left me with a more disfigured body, and I can't wait to see the new me. I'm the type of person that likes things to happen right away, but I will just have to keep myself busy until the big day. I have been religiously reading everyone's posts trying to get an idea of what the whole process will be like. Sooooo exciiiiited to have made this step!

I know what you mean I rrad everyday too. I would say from what I read 2 weeks is not enough time off if your on your feet 14 hours aday. Where are you having your TT done I see you live in Texas.

Are you a rep? I am, and am only taking a total of 11 days out of field. Really nervous about that. BTW, I too was a young single mommy who put herself through school...I have 3 kids... And I am doing the exact same procedure on 2/9/12. And....coincidentally enough. I can't decide on my ta-tas either.

Ok, I have 11 days left and seem to be avoiding thinking about it. I guess the reality of it has not hit me yet or something. I have 11 days left and have been working a lot lately. I have my pre op next Tuesday, so I am guessing it will hit me after that. Everyone's journeys have been really inspiring, and I hope to have a successful surgery and recovery!

Hi PharmGirl! How did your surgery go, how is your recovery going??? Hope everything went well for you!

Nonamesleft, I'm a pharmacist. I took off justbabout 20 days....I am supposed to go back to work on Sunday. Bummer! I hope I can handle it. Onlyn8 hour shift this time, but Our script count has increased dramatically in the past few weeks. I am still walking a little stiff, and then swelling ton everything. My drains are supposed to come out tomorrow, so fingers crossed.

AZerika, my surgery went well. I was waking up before I even knew I had had surgery. It was surreal. I didn't document my recovery like I wish I would have, but I just didn't have the energy. As soon as I got home, I was fantastic! They used lidocaine whichnlasted about 12 hours, but by 2 am I was dying for pain medication. my husband took good care of me and my mother in law kept our 14 month old for almost a week. The swelling and this garment is really getting to me. I wa t to rip this thing off. Taking a shower is this big ordeal. Ibam 2 weeks post op, and have dine a few dishes, picked up a few dirty clothes and have gone to the store several times. The first 3 days were then worst, but I can't wait for this to be over. Please, ask me anybquestions you ca. Think of. I have a few before and afters, but have to go upstairs to download them. I will try to motivate myself today, as I start work soon and need some motivation. One of my breasts looks pretty good, the left is still kinda funky looking, still needing to drop into it's place. I will discuss that with PS tomorrow.

I agree the first few days are the worst and then it gets better. I think everyone takes longer to drop on the left side. Mine did too. You're looking great!
February 8, 2012
That's what I keep hearing, that after about 4 days you start feeling a bit better everyday. But that stinks that you have to start work already!!! How are you dealing with your 14 month old (when u can't lift her)? I know that will be so hard for me, mine will be about 19 months by the time I get my MM. I look forward to seeing your updated pics!!!
