Makeover
Here we go TT sisters, my long long over due post...
As for the pain, I'm doing great with that. first 3 days were the worst but I started to fell better by day 4. Tummy does not hurt that much, I think pain and discomfort is more form Liposuction on my back/flanks/hips.
I'm hoping that this is swelling but something tells me this is the flattest results I will get from this....

Hi ladies, I'm 34 and mum of 16months old twins. I am 5.8ft and weigh 196lbs (88kg). I have lost 35lbs between February and now.
I am having works done 3rd week of April and quite nervous. My procedures will be done over 2 surgeries but I'm thorn in terms which procedures should come first. My to do list consists of
1). full tummy tuck with laser liposuction to upper abdomen and flanks
2). SlimLipo liposuction to arms
3). SlimLipo liposuction to lower back and upper buttocks
4). Breast uplift
5). Groin incision inner thigh lift with slimlipo liposuction to thighs, knee and hips
Quite some list right? I'm really excited and looking forward to getting them done but I'm really worried about pain, healing time, possible complications etc.
My priority areas I will like to get done in first surgery are tummy tuck with liposuction, and thigh lift with liposuction but my PS feels it will be hard on my body, he says it is possible but recovery might be rough.
I guess my questions for you ladies are what are your experiences with post surgery
1). Pain
2). Recovery period especially down time when you couldn't do anything by yourself and you had to depend on someone
3). When were you able to return to work?
4). What was the hardest part of the whole experience?
5). Did you get great results? Are you happy with results compared to what you went through?
I live in London, UK but I'm having it done abroad, in Europe. I will be kept in hospital and looked after for 1 week. Tummy Tuck sisters, Thigh lift sisters, would you say you were well enough 1 week post surgery to do a 3/4hours flight?
I hope everyone is doing well and that you have great results in any procedure you may have had or planning to have.

Thank you so much for starting your story on RealSelf! You really are having the works done. From what I've read from other ladies, three weeks seems to be a good amount of time to take off work (more if possible). I'm not sure about thigh lift recovery, but you might want to check out that community here.
Here's a great post by Blonde in Bluffton about her first three days post op (she had a TT plus breast work).
When will you be getting your breast lift and other procedures done?
Well, I'm not a medical professional so can't give you an opinion, but you might want to post a question to doctors here on the site.
