Like most of the women and stories on here... I am a confidant, in shape mother of three (10,8,& 3)... wanting to "photoshop" the stubborn fat areas on my curvy body. I am scheduled for a full TT, inner thigh lipo and BA with silicone implants. I am very excited...its surreal ! Finally decided to share but have been reading reviews and stories on here for over a year! Thank you to everybody for posting... i cannot stress how helpful this site and your contributions have been in my decision making and planning. Wish me luck !

Have you decided on implant size and style, just curious. And what are your stats? I'm still a little nervous about my choice.

I added three photos from my post op appointment today. The doctor was very pleased with the results and frankly so am i. I have the one drain...and tape over the incisions. other than that... i have the compression garment for the lipo on the thighs. a binder over that and a sports bra that i think is pretty cute : ) My implants are still set high...and will drop soon...as expected. Overall... i feel ok. YES it is hard to walk...getting up and getting into bed...OUCH. you must have someone help you to transition. My father brought me a toilet riser which is super useful... I moved myself to the couch... my bed is too soft. prior to surgery i was contemplating getting a recliner or lazy boy... for all those that have one... USE IT !!! Im eating fine... drinking lots of fluids and basically taking my meds around the clock...which is the best way to get through this. (peeing a lot but didnt poop yet..lol) LADIES YOU CAN DO THIS !!!! It's way better than you're all expecting ....im telling you first hand! hope this helps..and thank you for all of the support !!!!!

So glad to hear you are healing quickly and not in too much pain. You look wonderful! Just remember, the healing process is a long process- so when you get frustrated, and you probably will at some point in time, just remember- you are doing this for YOU; and you LOVE the new YOU!
