I'm a 30 yr. old mother of 1 with 3 step kids. I'm 5'8 195lbs. My biggest weight was 300lbs so needless to say I have lots of skin and my boobs are pretty much gone so I chose to get a full tummy tuck and breast aug. my loose skin effects my sex life with my husband and my kids sure love to pick on me about not having a belly button because you can't see it because of my over hanging skin. My pre op is May 23rd I will let everyone know how it goes. I'm excited to feel good in my body for one in my life. I've always heard "you have such a pretty face" no more of that for me. ;D I hope I have a quick recovery so I can spend a part of the summer with the kids.

UPDATED FROM Aml1082
21 days pre
It's getting closer
Feels like nothing i am doing is going to have me ready. kind of getting scared but I know it will be worth it and the pain is only going to be temporary. My OCD is kicking in when it comes to having a clean house and the kids cant wait till I'm out of commission so ill stop fussing at them to clean up lol. The kids were saying we're gonna starve there isn't going to be food for us (keep in mind my whole fridge is filled they just don't want the food i have) that's coming from my 15yr old who is unhappy with life rt now lol dang teens!!
Booked a hotel near the dr so can be on time for surgery. the day of surgery I have to travel 45 mins back home then go up stairs when I get home and do it all over again the next day for my check up. I don't know guess its just my nerves. And it doesn't help my husband showed me a video of the process ????????.
My pre op went great my doctor and his staff were nice yet again!! No complaints there I got to see before and after pics because his website doesn't show too many. I guess for privacy that's a good thing! The boobs looked good and the TT scars were low. I found out I'm getting 420cc I hope it's not going to be too big but I have broad shoulders so they said it will be just rt on my chest. I will update y'all Monday when I get there and after if I'm not too out of it lol.

Hi good luck with the op. This site is great for tips, advice and for someone to talk to. I found it great for when I was feeling a bit unsure or down after surgery. The first 4 days are the hardest but it doesn't last long. If you need any advice please feel free to ask. X

Hey excited for ya getting to do something for you. I was wondering are you getting saline or silicone and will the implants be below the muscle? I am considering adding this to my procedure and I'm trying to gather info on it. Thanks!

I didn't rent a power recliner. I was out of funds. Lol. However, the 1st 24 hrs, I was propped up in bed with a ton of pillows under my head and feet. Then, I switched to the regular recliner in the living room and have been there since. I still use a lot of pillows and the recliner we had goes back enough where I can sleep. I did not like it at 1st because I never sleep on my back but I got use to it. The bed was just too soft for me and I had a difficult time getting up out of it. If I had the money, I probably would have got the recliner. But I would have only needed it the 1st week and I would have felt like I wasted my money. I am luckier than most with the healing process. I am able to get out of the house, drive, and work after only being down a little over a week. That's not the norm, though. Btw... As for the arnica montana, it's suppose to help with bruising, and I didn't have any bruising. I don't know if its from my skilled surgeon or from the arnica, but it's worth a shot. Mine was a little pricey. It was by SinEcch. I can't wait to see how it goes!

I just read your last post. My husband's kids say the same thing even though the pantry, fridge, and deep freezer is full of food for every taste bud. Smh. My daughter is 15. When does the moodiness go away?? ;)

I went and got some from the vitamin store and the manuka honey I've been taking both I hope it helps me recover as quick as you. I really hope I'm up and around I don't want to waste the summer away inside.
