WORTH IT$12,565

I am 5' 4" weight around 190lbs with large frame. I have 2 children a 4 1/2 year old and my daughter just turned 2. I weighted 150 before my first pregnancy at age 17, at delivery i weighted 223. i lost all but 14 lbs after having my son. Then during nursing school i gained 30lbs! Then got pregnant again, i weighted 196 when i got pregnant and ended up at 254!! it took me over a year to lose all of my pregnancy weight and then some.

I have lots and lots of strechmarks, and i know it want get rid of all of them but i dont care i cant stand my stomach!! I had my consult in Feb. I am having full TT and BA, Dr. said lipo would not help much but I have decided I am going to ask him again at my pre op appt. He said he was going to be able to take out everything below my belly button and about an inch above. I am really excited!! I am taking 2 weeks off work ( I am a pediatric nurse). I am having procedure on April 24th and going back to work on May7th.

Congratulations on your weight loss! My surgery was on 3/19. I had a TT, BA, and Flank Lipo. Definitely ask your PS again about the Lipo. The way I look at it sucking out any amount of fat is helpful.

2weeks off work? Good luck. Are you working in an office or on a nursing unit? If you are working in an office and sitting talking to families on the phone you should be fine. If you are on your feet, lifting patients, etc you may need some extra time off. I took 3 weeks off. I have a combination of sitting, standing, and walking. I could probably go back now but I want that extra week to continue to heal before going back. Good luck with you upcoming surgery!

I am a cna and I took 3 weeks off. Thats what my dr said due to my job. He said I could not get back to doing what I do in 2 weeks. Congradulations on your weight loss. I too would ask about the lipo again. Good luck on your surgery.

I had my pre-op this morning!! Dr. gave me my rx to get filled. pain meds, antibotics,muscle relaxers,and nausea med. also he said since i am brode chested that he is going to give me 350- 400ml implants. and that should make me a full c or d, but im not to sure about that because i am already a b or small c, sounds like a lot!! what do you guys think??

Most people wish they'd go bigger. If you are broad you could probably handle a D. I got 421/460. I'm wearing a D or DD depending on bra. I'm 5 wks post op. As for lipo, are you talking about in stomach area? One doc I visited insisted on no lipo either. The doc I picked did it in my flank area, outer thighs and knees. Your legs look small. Maybe your doc can get you flat without lipo. Good luck! The waiting sucks! And I went back to work after two weeks and had to go home early everyday! Everyone's recovery is different!
