Mommy Makeover.... Scared to Death! - Birmingham, AL...recovery mode

Ok sweetie, you need to stop being so hard on yourself!! You are a beautiful woman and none of us are "perfect". If we "nit-pick" everything , we will never be happy. Take what you have and run with it baby! You look awesome!!!

You are going to get different answers on this subject!!! It is amazing how much doctors differ on this. I took the bromelaide , arnica, vitamin C and a multivitamin 2 weeks prior to surgery with the p,an to take it thru 2 weeks after. I had a reaction and stopped the bromelaide and arnica thinking it might have caused my reaction (bad rash) . I later figured out that I had sun poisoning and NOT a reaction. But, I thin I took them long enough to get in my system because I had very little swelling and almost no bruising from my surgery ( TT, BA with a lift). Use your best judgement , you'll do great!! Good luck!!!! It's a long hard journey but so worth it!!!! I would do it a hundred times over!!!!!!

Well I did it! Lying here in the hotel at about 1:30 am. I guess the ambien that they gave me doesn't work on me! I went to sleep around 9:30 , and now wide awake! A little pain, seems like mostly incisional pain,mhavn had anything for the pain since 7:30 last nigh. Inthinknim doing good, except for the 2 binders! Yes 2!!!
Laughs,

Annmarie , I am on my way to the surgery center now!! A little nervous, but know I'll be fine

Iok ladies, I need to be talked off the ledge!!!! I have lipo scheduledc for Thursday ( 2days) and I am frekingbout!! I read a lot last night and I guess I was not expecting the extent of recovery that. Read about. I've already been thru the TT recovery, so I thought this would be easy. To tell you the truth , that's not even really my "freak out" part. I wore a bikini on vacation ( couple weeks ago) for the first time ever and nw, I am totally worried about the incision scars ( lipo on back and flank). Any advice, I am n tears here, don't know what to do!! I really want the love handles gone but .....
Help please
