“Revision in 5wks.... Super excited more to come:)”

I am 35, had my first child when I was 19, gained about 60 pds,lost most of the weight but because I blew up ( started at 110) I had pancake flat boob, and a flabby belly, had my second child 6 yrs later via c-section and lost most of the weight, 3rd child 3 yrs after and thats when I started gaining. I had went to a ps once before but got a bad vibe from him, and decided to hold off, praying though exercise and diet I could rid my self of this sexy belly..lol it did not work. Decided that this was the year to do it, found a great ps , went for a consult just this past monday, and am booked for aug 3rd at 8 am! I can hardly wait, I can not stop looking at before and after photos, and reading what to expect during and after. I mostly can not wait to have self-cofidence back and be proud of my body, ok and to wear a tank top with no bra, oohhh and to wear a bikini instead of those god awful skorts with a long tank!

13 days to go, this is so exciting, I am trying not to freak out about the what IRS cuz I know I will be fine, I just have to read about how this is elective and since I am in healthy all will be ok, which I know it will;). I have sisters bacherlotte party next wkend and that should be fun, I have not told her about the tt, ba, and lipo, only cuz I do not want to add to her wedding planning stress, so I just told her I was detoxifying to loose weight for her wedding and would not be drinking.. I will be the driver, and be the one whongets up early to workout.. We r going to Chicago so that should be fun! My mom will be here on Monday to help get ready for the 3rd , my friends are coming to help cook some meals and freeze, i feel blessed to have such a good pre and post support group!

Getting a wee bit nervous about next wednesday, am I making the right choice, what if something happens, but I keep telling myself I will be fine, I am healthy, and I will heal like a champ!!!! My mom arrives tonight, which will be a big help, as I have nothing prepared, her and a couple of friends are going to help make some meals to frezze for when its just my dh taking care of me, so that will be nice :) I need to order some vits, and garments, and everything else under the sun, we are going to be so broke after this..lol ( not really)but it feels like it! am I being selfish?? I mean we do have three very active children , and school is about to start and yada yada, i play these mind games with myself.. but I am doing this for me, just one little thing, I promise to still give my husband and my kids all I can, I heart them! Anywho, I am kinda worried I will not be healed in time for my sisters wedding in Sept, but its mid sept, so I am hoping I will be, as I am in the wedding. This wkend I am headed to Chicago for a bachlerotte party, so time is flying, quickly... I wish I was healing already! ugh..anyways I am off to run, I have dropped my weight by a whole freaking 2 pds...lol but hey I will take all I can get!

Updated on 25 Jul 2011:
am I insane for being completely pissed my husband will spend 17,000 thousand dollars for my surgury but then be a cheap ass when it comes to my items for recovery! ugh... annoyed :(

Updated on 30 Jul 2011:
In Chicago hanging with my sisters, omygosh in a few days this gut will be gone.. not really scared, as I know I will be fine.. just ready to start healing... on super funny note, On the way to Chicago I stopped at the lions den to buy my sister funny bacherlotte toys, so fun! anywho..

Updated on 1 Aug 2011:
So I can not go to sleep, and I am exhausted so here I sit, pondering on this tummy tuck, lipo boob job... lift..lol I feel like I am repeating myself when I type or talk for the past few wks, and its rather annoying.. so I pray my TT and stuff comes out wonderfully and I heal like a champ, and yada yada... lol ok my rambling will continue tomorrow on the eve of the removal of my blob and lift of my boobage! hehe

Day 3 post op. well I made it, got the ps office at 7am on Wednesday, got drawn on, took a preggo test, and then had the iv put in, I got queasy , they finally got. The iv in, my husband had to leave, I was walked tom the or room, where I was washed, and then I remember laying on the table, next thing in was awake, and apparently asking for my husband,lol! I am not sure how long I was in recovery, I remember the ride home and walking in my house thank gosh for wood floors inwas dripping blood from the lipo, scared my mom, pretty much slept the day away, peeked at my boobs they r like rock stars , with more rock,,lol. Went to ps yesterday he said all looked well, got to see my belly and boobs holy batman I am so flat , but am worried about some lumps, hopefully that will go away, my husband has been really great he has to roller pin my lipo sites, which is painful, ,I am feeling better it just really hurts my butt sitting for long, going to do a few laps around my house today..

5 days post -op- sorry no pics yet, I feel like I have nothing to show....I will try again to take decent pics today. I showered this am with my dh cuz I can not shower alone, he washed my hair and it was heavenly, my teenage dd is going to flat iron it for me...lol. I went to see mt ps, well his nurse cuz my belly looks deformed, she assured me it was normal due to the muscle repair and lipo I had.. I feel better but wish i was done healing..lol I am koving around better, we r planning on going to my inlaws tonight so I can wok outside, I am so excitied, I feel trapped in my house. I am also not tking as many pain killers , so I guess my motto is slow and steady... Tks for all the advice and get better wishes, I love this website , so supportive..

Ok Post-op day 9, I stink and have not taken belly photos, cuz really my belly is a hot swollen mess... and I am trying not to be a big baby, but really would like the swelling to go down. I feel good, have only taking one mortin this am around 8 am . I am however bored out of my mind.. i am wearing pj gowns and this drain I do not get out till Monday the 15, so its not like I can go anywhere, I have painted my nails, did my makeup, slept untill I am pretty sure I have caught up on my sleep for the next 3 yrs..lol and last night I walked around my blk at midnight just to be outside it was magical btw...lol... I am wondering how women go back to work at 2 weeks if they had ab repair and lipo, because my stomach had both and there is no way I would be ready at 2 wks.. but I guess if you have to, then you do... my lipo on my flanks is reducing, thank heavens, because I had small hips before and liked them alot..anyway my whining is over, I shall take post -op pics of my breast and post.

Updated on 11 Aug 2011:
8 days post op- well.. what a fun journey this is becoming, I read so much , and about other peoples stories, I thought I was prepared, I was so not ..lol I forgot that each body is different and just because most of you look like rockstars after , does not mean I will. I am a swollen mess, however I think finally my swollen tummy is evening out, so instead of just a crazy right swell , its on the left...lol I look a few months preggo, which is cool ( but not so much) I am off pain meds, only taking Vicaden at night to help sleep, I found I can not get my body to relax without it.. but yesterday I only took 2 mortins, so I feel good about my pain. I really want this drain gone, if I could whine anymore about it I would, but it would still be there, so I shall stop being a baby, and suck it up, it is coming out on monday. My boobs are falling into place nicely, I have had no pain at all with those. I actually am happy with the size I choose, I joked with my hubby that in 5 yrs i will go bigger, he just rolled his eyes. I am prob a full 36c right know, as before i was a deflated no volume 36c..lol my sisters are up and ready to be shared with the world... well ya know what i mean. I am going stir crazy sitting at home, tonight my hubby is taking me out to walmart..lol to find some clothes to hide the drain, I wanted to go to fun store, but i prob will toss these clothes once the swell is gone and the drain has been burned.. anywho.. I am off to go watch tv, since I am a pro at sitting on my butt and watching tv these days..

I clearly can not count my post-op days..lol

Updated on 13 Aug 2011:
So I had a glass and a half of wine, holy cow .. I was woozy, mind you it took me a hr and half to finish that... I am feeling almost normal, I have driven and today I am going to a soccer tourney, I just wish I was without drains, and I am wearing this huge binder, can not wait for my stage 2 garmet.. it will be smooth and hiden as oppossed to bulky and beasty... lol my belly was soo hard yesterday, I plan the wine, and I walked around my subdivision and tlked to friends, I finally had to tell a neighboor , what I had done, her kids play with mine, and she was so curious as to why I was so down and out, I have decided to just go with the truth, with lying it just gets deeper, so I told her muscle repair..lol I feel that is a more tech term, my muscles were in repair after childbearing.. thats my plan today for other parents I may have to tell at soccer, but some are drs and nurses and they will know , but so what.. I am not ashamed.. On Monday I go in to get my drain out, and if you look at my pics I have up , that white tape on my belly, and what scares me the most is that white tape, esp near my pubic area, because even with the full wax 2 wks ago I have fine hairs growing in, and tape and hair can not be a good or pleasent thing.. my stomach is slowly becoming less numb, as is my back. I have a question. The night before I took only 1 motrin before I went to bed, woke up with painful back pain, so last night I took 2 vicadens, and woke up feeling fine, not 100 percent fine but pretty ok, my question is- how long did you all stop taking vicaden for back pain at night, or did you double up on the mortin, or will I feel better once this drain is out, and I have more movement? I was trying to go off the strong stuff, but could not bare another night of waking up feeling like I had been beat up. anyways.. my posts are long and I ramble.. hope you all have a great weekend! happy healing :)

OOOHHHH and my boobs are shrinking..lol to the same size as pre-surgery just with fullness and firmness, sometimes I just look at them, and thank my ps! LOL

Updated on 14 Aug 2011:
I hope to stop whining soon, but I saw my super flat belly on day one, and know I look pregnant..I wanna cry...

Updated on 18 Aug 2011:
Well.. my drain came out today! and all I can say is praise the lord! LOL I went in super nervous that it would hurt, asked the nurse and she said well it can sting alot.. I was like ok I can do this.. she said take a deep breath, and bam it was gone, no pain, nothing..she so tricked me.. my belly is still swollen and is not pretty , I am trying to have patience but its hard when I see others with flat bellies right away and mine is a hot lumpy mess, I feel like why did i do this to myself, sure I am thinner but I want a tight firm belly, not a lumpy swollen, odd skin looking like belly, and why the heck would i pay that much money to look like a freak! LOL my boobs look good.. and I have to admit I wish I went to 300cc, but I think once my tummy is flat it will be ok..my boobs are wear they were before kids.. perky and full and a large b or small c.. so I will stop complaining about those, the swollen nasty stomach I pray goes away.. anywho.. I will say all good things about my stage 2 garment, I got it from lipo in a box, its a full bodysuit no underwire and its amazing, lots of support but very very comfty!

I cry at everything.. I am so not a teary girl.. but I just cry.. I do know why, I am in the card section, I cry, my husband is talking I cry, the radio station is on I cry..I look at my kids and cry, can this pls stop.. not only am I bloated, I am a mess.... god give me strength :)

Post Title! I love my boobs! LOL no really I do.. I feel so pretty with boobs, that are
1. Perky
2. Lifted to the correct spot
3. Not sagging
4. Round
5. because there mine! LOL

I went out with some girlfriends last night, and I have nothing to wear because my lower half is swelled like no tomorrow, so I had to wear a knit short blk skirt and I found a super cute tank top I have had, and last time I wore it, it was not pretty, my boobs were a hot mess.. well I wore it last night with no bra.. and I could of cried. its so silly how having perky firm boobs changes how you just feel presenting yourself to the world.. I did not even get bigger implants, just a slight fullness ( 200cc) and bam my sista's are back, better then before, know only if this tummy would de-swell! Hopefully I will have time to take photos to update my pics. Time really flys..
