I had tried everything to lose weight . Short of starvation. I never thought I would care about plastics surgery, but the opportunity came up and I went for it. My surgeon is amazing, I am so happy and excited to feel good about myself again. I am 2 days post op, the drugs are helping a lot. The experience so far has been great. I am in some pain, but staying on top of meds, is helping. I am so happy and excited. I got 375cc under muscle silicone, full TT, liposuction on my muffin top. Will post more when can. Drains are not bad at all, don't really notice. I am loopy but could not be more happy. My husband is being great, stayed one night in hospital , now home. Really just been drinking mainly meal replacements now, nervous about not having bm or gas yet.

Doing well. A little more pain ten the last few days, but so so so happy I did this. My husband is awesome,taking care of everything. I am not draining much at all. I think this is the best things could have done for myself. I am super sore, but like a hard work out, nothing out of control. It is annoying to walk around bent over, but it will past. I have the best doctor. I am tryin to get up and move around a little, but taking it slow. My boobs don't hurt at all, just sore. Prefect size for me.

Things are going better then I expected. It's hard to get used to seeing the scars, but even with the swelling and new wound look, it's awesome. I am starting to already back down on the pain meds too. I am very happy I did this, all over the place with moods. My boobs are not really hurting at all anymore, just my stomach is weak and feels like I did 4000 sit-ups.

I am so happy I did this. recovering is always annoying, but I feel so good about myself. My drains came out day 5 and 9, they didn't bother me pain wise unless they got pulled on. My upper back does hurt from hunching over, but I am getting straighter every day. The incisions have not hurt much, just the actual upper abs and stomach that was tightened. My stomach is very swollen, but so flat already. I am so excited to see the results in a few months when it is a finished product. I am a gym rat and no amount of different eating and exercise could have done this. I was scared to go in, after all I have four small kids and its major surgery, but the honestly it has been amazing results. I will post more pictures soon. I am still sore, in pain, but every day is better and better. I am so thankful for my talented, wonderful doctor and her staff. Thank you, thank you. I am very open about everything, and I know a lot of people have negative views on PS, but this was right for me. My happiness has sky rocketed.

I need to put pics up. Still very happy. I have lost 6 pounds since surgery. Boobs are amazing. I was doing the surgery more for the tummy, but am so happy I got them. They look so natural. Everything has gone very smoothly and thankfully no complications. I am still in a sore pain, and haven't started exercising. My body looks great, I could never have done this on my own. I still swell pretty bad each evening, and am still sore from the side Lipo. Between my belly button and scar it is numb , which the dr said could go away but take up to a year or never. It took about a month to start walking straight, from being pulled so tight in the stomach. I would do it again in a heart beat. When you are going their it, recovery is frustrating and long, but grand scheme what's a few months.
