40+ Years Old, 3 Children, Tired of my Wardrobe Always Centering Around my Center - Atlanta, GA

Today marks 3 weeks since my surgery! Hallelujah! I'll post some pics tomorrow. On Monday I return to work:( I should be ok. My student's return on Tuesday. I'll have to ward off all their hugs because my skin feels like I've been burned. This was the same way I felt after my Lipo in September. My skin feeling like it's on fire along with the shooting pains are my nerves healing maybe? I'm not back to 100%, but I'm slowly working my way there. I'm still swollen, which is to be expected. My biggest issues are not being able to sleep at night and having such a hard time getting comfortable in bed. I think I might make an appointment with my primary doctor is the sleeping situation doesn't improve. My belly button and below is still numb. It seems like I'll have a weird shaped belly button from now on, but I'm not worried about it. Premiere Center did such a PHENOMENAL job with me. I'm COMPLETELY satisfied in every way. Dr. Welsh is incredible! If you're still in the "considering stage" and can travel, I highly recommend them. I went to the Tampa location. There's also a Miami location. My next follow up is on January 31st, so I'll be traveling to Florida that weekend. In hindsight, I wish I had gone higher than 397cc's in my breasts! I swear they looked so much bigger when i had the inserts in my bra. But considering how small my natural breasts are, I won't complain. Would I do this all over again? Yeeeess. Am I glad I don't have to??? Hell yes!!! My experience was intense, bit I'm liking what I see in the mirror. I haven't even tried to put jeans on yet. I don't want any pressure on my incision area other than my garment. I'm still trying to baby that area and try to leave it alone as much as possible. I don't have any dog ears on my incision or any other imperfections that I can see. My goal (I'm naming and claiming it) is to be completely healed by May and be down to 125-130lbs.
This has been an incrediblè journey for me. I can't wait to see my final results! Life is too short to go through it with regrets. If you're still "considering", STOP! Do it and get the body you've dreamed of:) I've heard all the "you're being vain, why do you want to do this, you don't need this, what does your husband think, it's a waste of money, be happy with what the Lord gave you...etc" comments to last me a lifetime. I did this for me and no one else. I could care LESS what other people think. I plan to sneak into middle age being fine as wine; )

YES!!!!!
