Worth It

Having children has left me with sagging skin and separated muscles, causing my abs to bulge out. Been wanting or a long time!

I am now 8 days post op and feeling much better after having drains removed today. I am still bruised and swollen but the only thing that hurts is my back from walking hunched over.
Posting a pic from today. Boobs look a little asymmetrical but they're not, it's just how I'm holding phone to take pic that is making them look like that. However they are a little "frankensteiney" still. Lol.
Far as the tummy, I couldn't be happier with my nice low scar and how thin it is.

I forgot to add exactly what I had done.
I had a full Tt w lipo of flanks(included), and a breast lift without implants.

posting some pics of my 2 week mark today. You can see the level of swelling is still pretty bad(hoping at its peak),and some bumpiness on hips(flanks) where doc did the lipo. Really hoping all that smooths out... also, see the twins progress lol

Really hoping all that swelling and bumpiness will go down and reveal a much smoother look. Feeling pretty blah about it as of today because it looks like my before pics are better than my afters :(

adding a pic of my right drain site... looks funky still... wondering if normal? little over 2 weeks po

adding a pic from today po day 17... is it just me or do my hips(flanks) look uneven??? Hopefully its just swelling more on one side than on the other...
Updated on 6 Feb 2012:
At almost 4 weeks po(2 days shy), I feel like I've turned a major corner today. Today is the first day I woke up and got out of bed walking straight(upright). yay for me!
Also, after drinking what seemed like a gallon of water last night, my swelling has gone down remarkably today as well(although it is morning, so we shall see what today brings)...
I added some pics from last night to show the progress. Not a huge change from last week, but in person so much better.

6 weeks post op and starting to feel more normal now. Started walking and getting around much better now. Also, sleeping is better and I find myself tempted to sleep on my stomach already! lol I don't though... sticking to side and back for now. see updated pics are showing I'm still experiencing some swelling on my flanks(especially the one side), and upper abs(oddly enough???)...

Hard to believe we are only one week from tomorrow, Janes!
I can't believe we are having our tt's in 4 days!
Far as to-do's - still have all my sheets to wash, kids laundry to wash and put away, had my nails and eyebrows done today thk god they were getting out of hand! Lol
But that's pretty much it - I am R E A D Y!!!
Can't wait to see your after pics. It looks like you worked real hard to get where you were at for surgery. Hope you are recovering well. It gets tons better after the first week.
I am thrilled with my results though! I was really hoping to post some po pics today after my shower but couldn't get any good shots. I'm thinking after I get these drains pulled(hopefully Thurs), I will post asap!
Congrats on getting your drains removed - don't you feel like a new woman? :-)
