I've found your profile off suzi1968 and decided to check it out since I'm awaiting my tummy tuck. And wow! You have done an amazing job documenting your journey! You really have a gift for writing too. I am encouraged by your will power and I am feeding off the energy you have shared with us. And your hard work has payed off as you look really fabulous!
How long did the tummy tuck take to recover from? And how bad is the pain part? Im afraid for the bending around part. But as women we went through child birth so I hope it's like gravy in the comparison ;-) still working on my weight loss and more anxious than ever!
As for myself, I have to put my breast repair off for awhile :( I was planning my tummy tuck first since I am more bothered by the appearance and have to wait and lose my baby weight (baby 4 months old) and I'm yet 30lbs overweight. My breasts have lost so much volume they just look terrible and I think I will have the lift after my tuck and see how I look. My breast surgery quotes were $11,000 lift and implants so I think I'm gonna check around on doctors. I'm so anxious for the tummy tuck and feel discouraged since losing 30 lbs going to be rough.
I went to the doctor today about this same issue. He informed me I would need two surgeries as well, but I thought that was more than what I wanted to put myself through. I also saw a from one of the boards that doing both surgeries together are proven safe. But I think if my lift turned out as well as yours I would be satisfied. Thanks for putting your story up for those of us still considering the options.
