At 62 years of age, I am ready and able to make my dream come true. I have thought about cosmetic surgery for many years and right now the timing is perfect. I am 5" 4" and 128 lbs. I am having a full abdominoplasty with lipo and a fat transfer for a BBL.
From my child bearing days, I have some loose skin and fat above and below my BB. I am frustrated with the love handles and rolls around my middle and know the procedure will give me a flat tummy and improved self image.
I am fairly well prepared for surgery and have completed all the prep requirements. I still need to prep my bedroom and I want to make some "clean" food in advance. At this point, I'm just keeping busy to ward off some of the excitement.

How sweet of you to reach out. I'm feeling a little shy about the pre-up pictures but I do have two I can upload soon. Sounds like you're just in the investigative stage. By doing your homework you should feel comfortable when your surgery is scheduled. I am sending warm karma your way.

Well I'm sitting here at about 10 o'clock at night and just doing a check to make sure everything in preparation for surgery has been done. Now that all the tasks are done I'm focused on getting on with the show. I have finally swallowed my pride and posted some before pics so that when you see me in the after pics you can best appreciate the new and improved body.
I am so looking forward to this procedure as it has been my dream for a long time.
I apologize for the pics being a little off . I took them myself - which for those of you who have done this before - is not an easy thing to do.
I will add a post surgical note as soon as I am coherent and able to talk. Send all your good karma my way!!

Kudos to you! The main thing I love about this site is the different ages and races on here...all with a common bond of wanting to just feel better about ourselves. I'm in my 40s and you can bet believe if I need to do a nip and tuck here and there then that's what I gonna do :). Looking forward to seeing your results and wishing you a safe and speedy recovery. We all heal differently and luckily you'll have an abundance of tips from all these women.

You are so right! My surgery was delayed just a couple of hours but was done in 4 1/2. I arrived home around 5:30 and went straight to bed. I did have some nausea from meds without eating all day. Goods new is the nausea meds worked immediately. I tried to eat but could not get more than a coupe do carrots and potatoes from the great homemade vegetable soup from a friend. Took pain meds at bedtime and slept until pee time at 5:30 am. Went right back to sleep until 7. So, not bad.

I was amazed at how much better I felt this morning. My friends helped me sponge bath and dress. I was able to eat some yogurt and tolerate the meds. I tried extra strength Tylenol but it was too soon. So at 2 pm I todo the pain meds and a nap. The fatigue hits after each walk. I am walking about every hour and a half then resting the same amount.
My drains are not overly bothersome and I'm happy about that. My back was draining a little from the cannula holes but seems to be slowing now.
Thanks all for your words of encouragement. It means a lot.

You are an inspiration. I am 63 and chicken [RS bleep], but after following you I feel more confident about this being a possibility for me too. Thank you for sharing your journey. Sending you blessings for prompt, minimally painful recovery and a big hug, Gina

The best thing we can do for ourselves is not always the least pain. I say go for it. I am in the first 48 hours and still would do it again.
Thanks for the blessings...I am sure they are giving me this strength.
Big hugs back at you...
Please do keep us updated with your progress.
