Mommy Makeover (Tummy Tuck/old Implants Replaced with Smaller & Breast Lift)

I had my procedure done on Monday March 8th, it turned out wonderfully and with the pain pump I was relatively pain free for the first few days- I COMPLETELY recommend the pain pump- my surgeon doesnt use them but I wouldnt have it any other way & he relented. I stayed overnight & woke up without nausea. They did not give me meds other than the percs I brought with me & I had no pain.

I went home 6am the next day, hung out in my recliner & was amazed that it was that easy. I had anticipated so much more pain & more difficulty making it to the bathroom but it just wasnt the case. There was discomfort in the tummy but I never felt pain in my breasts, not even when the pain pump was removed a couple days later.

Go for it girls- I was terrified but it hasnt been bad at all & I can see how beautiful its going to be already :) Remember PAIN PUMP!

One week mark and had my drains removed today- I was sooo nervous because everyone said it was painful or super uncomfortable- but again, it was nothing! All that worry for nothing... life is MUCH better with them out though, thats for sure! They put me in a really tight gurdle & I can now almost stand up straight, I'll post more pics of tummy soon when swelling starts to go down. Also- meant to say if you are having your implants replaced or a breast lift after already having implants- there is NO PAIN. I kept waiting for them to hurt & they never, ever did.. I only had the pain pump for 3 days & never had pain in the breasts and nothing extreme with the tummy after it was removed.

 Day 10 -I believe the worst of it is just caring for my 2yr old. I want to jump out of bed in the morning & clean, get groceries, cook, but I am too tired and its really painful in the morning for some reason. I also believe I am a bit blue as a result of not being capable of more & probably being expected to be good as new already...Im wondering if any of you are back to cleaning the house, going food shopping, etc?

As for the body work ;) so far so good, swelling is going down (its so strange to put your hand on your belly and its as if you have your had on someone elses belly because of the numbness- but inside, yikes- thats another story!) It hurts inside, especially up top & the belly button is looking great but red because of the tight a** gurdle! Ugh, I've just been wearing the with velcro one I went home in, sorry doc but ouchie~ The boobs get a little ichy sometimes but unbelievably still no pain- amazing compared to the first time, oh my! My goal is to take some pics again at the 2wk point. The doc said I didnt have to have gauze or anything on my boobs by the 7th day & I have been putting a bit of padding between my other scars & belly button & the darn gurdle. He said the tape will be falling off soon (its trying to but it freaks me out so I gently put it back!) So with my surgery all of the stitches are absorbable, pretty nice-

Im dying to put on some jeans & this gurdle is making my butt flat! Ha!

DONT COUGH & for heavens sake dont sneeze! I have cough drops EVERYWHERE- keep eating those gummie vitamin c's!
