I have been considering a Tummy Tuck, and Breast Reduction since the birth of my first child, 5 years ago. After the birth of my second, (knowing that we are d.o.n.e. with having kiddos) I'm ready! I'm 5'3, 150 pounds and my chest is a 36-38 DDD, E (depending on the bra)...which has lead to some back problems.

I have had my insurance "okay" my Reduction, so that is a great deal! I was thinking of doing both at the same time, has anyone done this? Would you advise for, or against it?

I think I have practically had a consult with every doctor in Bend, and 3 over in the "valley". I was really glad to have found this site! It has a wealth of information on it, and plan to pick and take away what I need. I really would love to hear from anyone who has had a surgery done in the Bend Oregon area. I'm new in town, so...I know NOBODY to ask about this...thanks for any and all help!

Welcome to RealSelf! I'm so glad you found us. My search for a mommy makeover doctor in Bend came up with exactly one.

Would you be willing to travel to Portland? Here's a review from a woman who loved her P-town doctor.

I hope you'll keep us updated throughout your journey!

So I'm paid and scheduled for next week! That happened FAST! I go in next week for my TT finally!! I'm so happy, now time to prepare and am looking into what I need to get for the recovery. I need a list! Feeling a little nervous, no wait...a LOT nervous. But I can not wait to get it done, and over, and be on the road to recovery.

So I'm on PO day 2 and it's 230 in the am. Can't sleep, although I'm tired. Everything is going well. However, yesterday after using the bathroom, empty my drains...walking back to my room, my fce started to get clammy and tingle, my legs felt like they were going to buckle and my hearing went off, kinda like I was in a tunnel. Not fun! Needless to say I went straight to bed to rest. I think the ride home from my PO apt was just too draining on me. Shucks! Just when I thought I was doing really well. Hope I didn't Jenks myself. I still seem to be doing okay on pain as long as I take those lovely pills. I can definitely feel when they are running out and it's time to take one. The only other thing is I ITCH llike crazy!!! Wonder if anyone else is itchy? So far I have not seen the results. The bandage didn't need to be replace yesterday so still the great unknown which is killing me! I hope it turned out okay. I noticed one of my freckles doesn't seem to have move all that much so that has me concerned. Could just be from all the swell hell right now. I'm not sure where this post gets posted, or if anyone even reads this, but if anyone does and can think of any pointers for me, I would sure
Love them. I felt like I was takIng up too much room on the forum. Never really participated in a forum before. But, I'm so happy to have found this site, just don't want to be butting onto others relationships already formed. :-)
