I'm Emma, I'm havin an extended tummy Tuck and liposuction of the flanks, along with brachioplasty(arm lift) on April 26, 2013! I'm 20 years old and have always been really heavy. About 4 years ago I started losing weight and dropped about 100 pounds, now I'm left with saggy skin everywhere!! I scheduled my pre op oppointment yesterday for April 17, it's getting close!!

Night before surgery... I am so anxious. I haven't had much anxiety throughout the process of getting ready until today. I have been cleaning like a mad woman all night! My surgery is in 10 hours, cannot believe it. My co workers bought me flowers and a really kind card... I know some people keep this to themselves.. But all 7 of my employees/co workers knew, and they have supported me so much!
Waking up in 5 hours to shower and head up to the hospital.. Mom is drivin me and staying with me overnight. Since I am havin arms and tummy done my Dr wants to keep me overnight( which I think Is great!!) I am so ready to be on the flat side. This tummy flap has been here since I was ATLEAST 11 or 12 years old( of course then full of fat LOL). I cannot wait to feel my age, and feel beautiful and comfortable in my skin! Ill update y'all tomorrow after my surgery... If I'm not totally out of it! Lol

Im officially on the flat side!!!!! Wow. I got done with surgery about 6 hours ago. Apparently I didn't like my nurse in the recovery room so I made sure to let everyone know that. My surgery took longer than expected so of course my sweet mom was terrified! But I'm good! I woke up very well from my anesthesia. Considering all I had done( tummy tuck, lipo of stomach, flanks and back, and arm lift) I am pretty peppy!! I have been soooo thirsty all night and I'm already swollen! Boo.
Oh and how can I forget, Mother Nature decided to give me that time of the month THIS MORNING!!!! A week early. Ridiculous.
I have been coughing alot I guess due to having the tube down me throat. And to add to the coughing, I had a bad case of hiccups!
I am probably going to try to get some rest... Not sure why I am awake.
Will update tomorrow when I know more. So curious about how much skin and fat they removed!!

That's funny you mentioned hiccups, I had them horribly yesterday, twice!
Happy healing I'm at POD 7 never thought I'd see the day where I'm actually getting up on my own doing things around the house. What I'm getting at is each day it get better :)
Good luck with everything!

That's great! Yeah I'm PO day 2 and I'm up walkin pretty well. I feel much better this morning than I did yesterday evening.
April 27, 2013
Wow! I can't believe you are up to posting already. Very glad to hear you are doing good and surgery went well.

I had this feeling that you would be up and on your computer right away. :) They say that it is easier for younger people, let's hope it remains that way. Your Mother probably keeps telling you to take it easy huh? I am happy that you are not suffering too bad like a lot of us did. How do you feel, real tight? I can't wait until you are able to post pictures of your hot little self. ...Take Care!

I felt pretty good yesterday.. Now I am miserable. I've been needing to caugh it hurts so bad! I can showier today which means I can take some bandages off and hopefully snap some pictures! Honestly what hurts the most is some tape that is near my hoo-ha and leg. My back is very sore I guess from all the liposuction that was done
