Feb 18th: TT, Breast Aug, & Lipo of Flanks - Atlanta, GA

I am 32 and have had 3 beautiful babies. However, what they did to my stomach...not so beautiful! A bit of background: I am 5'4" and 130 pounds. Before kids I was about 120, so I'm only about 10 pounds from my goal weight. I work out 3-4 times a week with high intensity cardio and weight training. I have an extremely active lifestyle with my 3 kids, their school schedules, church, and activities.
I am scheduled for a full TT, breast augmentation and lipo of the flanks on Friday, Feb 18th. I'm a bit nervous...really nervous and anxious about the whole surgery thing. The recovery doesn't worry me as much.
How long will it be before I can drive and get back into it? I don't want to be out of commission for too long since I am a bit of a control freak!
I will post some pictures of before and after once I get some taken.
I'm 3 days post op and my little bed buddie is...
I will take some pics after my shower this afternoon and post them. I am already in love with my breasts...hope the stomach is just a nice once the swelling goes down.
I do have to say that I"m surprised at how badly bruised I am from the lips...it's actually been the most tender and painful part during this whole healing process. Don't know if I'd do it again at the same time...it's hard being in pain all around at the same time...

8-days post-op and feeling really good. Actually...
I am wearing "normal" clothes and have been able to wear my "fat" jeans and my jeggings. My drain is still in since my output is still to high, but I'm out of the restrictive bra and into a sports bra now.
I'm still very swollen and bruised from the lipo but it's getting better. I'm loving my new cute little belly button and my breasts are getting better. The right one has dropped and settled a little faster than the left...PS said it's b/c I'm right handed and it will just take some time.
Went on a date with the hubby tonight to the bookstore for some coffee and "us" time since my mom is here helping with the kids. I'm getting excited about the results and can't wait to go bra shopping and get an actual 2-piece for this summer!
Will post and take more pics later this week!

Wow! Your surgery is tomorrow! Expect to be fully out of commission for three days, very tired and sore (among other things) for at least the first week, and not really back to yourself for at least two. I've read hundreds of reviews, and that seems to be the trend in healing. You'll do great though. Just try to enjoy the down time. (Easier said than done, I know).
I'd love to see your pics!
