TT and Lipo of Flanks and Upper Tummy - Bedford Hills, NY

I am a mama of two children, 2 and 4 and have battled with weight my whole life. In high school, I lost some 50 lb so have had stretchmarks on my tummy for as long as I can remember, but my tummy was still in pretty good shape since I was able to maintain the weight loss until I had my children. I gain 50 with the my first and another 50 with the second for an all time weight high is 250. I am currently 5'8, 37 years old and I weight around 189... Since having my youngest I have lost some 60-70 lbs. I am up and down 10lbs at this point.

After the 2 kid, my body was a wrap, love handles appeared out of no where, well not really no where, but they are just not budging. I also have the loose skin and what not... Being an active person who exercises regularly and eats ok, when I want to, I realized that no amount of diet or exercise is going to fix this disaster :). So I decided to schedule my Tummy Tuck.

I am 13 days away, and had my preop today. I plan to get a tummy tuck with lipo of the upper ab and flanks. I am debating on adding a little lipo in my outer thighs, since I don't want to look dispropotioned with a skinny top and big bottom. Lady at the Dr said that might be sexy, guess I should prob just save my money and see what results I get without it. It's an added fee which I am just not sure I want to spend.

I have been having dreams about it regularly and having a little bit of anxiety about the recovery process, pain, time off from work, etc... I will up load some pick soon to give you an idea of the damage.

So 6 days to go! Hospital bed was delivered today, of course the delivery guy has to return because the bed won't lift up and down, geez. I don't have time to wait for a delivery guy next week, hence the reason why I had it delivered today! Anyway the guy was nice and will come based on my schedule.

While I was cleaning my space to make room for the bed and I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and hand to take more before pics!! This muffin top has got to go. I was battling my button coming undone all day, damn!!!

Also got almost all of my arsenal for recover, got my
-prescriptions,
- arnica cream and gel,
- colace,
-Benadryl
- peeing device (wonder if I'll need that), ---- vitamin c for immune Heath
-Scarguard
-bruise guard
- crackers
- Gatorade
Just a few more things to get and feeling pretty good today, despite being on day 2 of my 3 day refresh. It like torture, I want everything I can't eat! Until next time!
