“Feeling Butterflies, 7 Days Till my mommy makeover surgery - Upland, CA”

Mother of 3 5' 44yrs old primary reason is loose skin is the main concern at my age. I feel like I carry an apron with me at all times.

I have been reading the stories here which have really helped. I have changed my mind about three times but after finding this site and reading thru the stories it has helped me gain confidence.

I am so nervous I cant stop eating junk food I crave all the wrong stuff I have been watching what I eat active at the gym and these last few days I have been soooo baddd I think I am having moments where I feel like do I go thru with it or what??

I saw my Dr. yesterday went over procedures answered my questions I feel more comfortable with him this was my 3rd consultation and he has been very helpful and patient to all my questions and concerns.

I am 48 hours away from my makeover this weekend was an emotional rollercoaster for me being fathers day - my father passed away in 2002
my husband passed away in 2008

I have a 10 yr old who said he dont have a dad cause he went to heaven.
How does one answer that.

Spent the day at the cemetary started to feel restless started to have negative thoughts again the WHAT IF's I feel like I'm just too emotional right now.

I am also excited I look forward to my makeover I try to stay calm to overcome the negative thoughts and the debbie downers, I just pray all will turn out fabulous.

Also I have been such a junkie craving evertyhin cant stop eating....

6 days post op

OMG
I dont think Id ever felt this pain before

*Breast Aug
*Tummy tuck
*Fat transfer to buttock
*Lipo-
lower back
flanks
neck

lots of pain meds made it worse I did this without pain med I take Tylenol occasionaly
today I feel good but I still need to take it slow
I can't sleep at night
I can't eat
I can't stay still
I guess I am so restless from all the procedures total trauma to my head I had never felt this much pain but it was only the first few days and I think I felt it more due to the fact I did not take pain meds,

5 weeks PO I am doing good so far I like my results ran into a problem went to see the assistant to my Dr claims its necrosis of the fat and should dissapear in about 6 weeks was nervous because the lumps felt bigger he explained since the swellin is clearin up I can feel them more, have another appt with my Dr in fifteen days overall having trouble with the swellin comes n goes but I like the results scars is so minimal for both tummy tuck and breast aug.
