WORTH IT$6,000
Yesterday was my Mini tummy t. And muscle repair. I m so excited I cannot wait for the outcome because doc Morrison is amazing on his field and everyone is talking nice about his work. Today is my second day. And I m feeling great. Yeah in a little pain but moving around . The Hospital at saint lawrence everyone is so friendly and very professional. I slept on a reclining chair semmi seating. I weak up like 4 time by my self with very careful slowly ladies . My right side was leaking a lot like every 2 hour I needed to empty which I called it" my bolls" . It is very scary but doctor explain me that it is good and normal to leak more from your right side than your left side. To be honest with you I was expecting to be like sombi today but nope I m moving. I m able to pee litte by litte but so far I haven't do #2 yet.!! Lest see what happen. I m eating a like fibers , fruits whole wheat to avoid constipation. I was very skinny but my two babies were 9 pounds both of then and they really stretch my skin from my belly and I wasn't feeling confident when I bend. In conclusion. The experience of my mini TT and muscle repairs is going pretty much like normal. I was so nervous yesterday when they were about to put my anesthesia but I told him not to tell me anything when he was about to put the anesthesia. "Just do it " and the next thing I know i was at the recovery room with my corsets already in my body.

Since you had muscle repair how are you feeling. Are you still having tightness or soreness. I am post op 6 weeks with muscle repair and stomach has been really tight just wondering how long before your tightness has decreased
August 10, 2016
Oh wow 6 weeks ! That is a long journey for this project. I cannot wait! Today is exactly 5 days and have some soreness by back pain is really bad because maybe the posture that I walk or sleep. Still a lot liquids from my right drain like 40 cc every 4 hours . I just wander if too much liquids coming out from the drains it will continue for a long time. I going to see the doc on Friday 2 more days and see if he decided to remove them. Do you actually start looking skinny from your belly ? How about the hematomas ( the brusses on your body) are they gone . I look like someone bit me really hard..I Second problem if that I sleep very uncomfortable still sleeping in a reclining chair with 2 pillows in my back. I miss my bed more than my man. !!

Hi. Yes your brusing will go away. I guess everyone is different but for me the biggest issue I have is the muscles being so dam tight. Your muscles are probably still asleep and you don't feel them much. But around 4 week you feel them. It's horrible. I totally which I never done this. It is 550 am right now. And I should be asleep but the muscle tightness woke me up.

Hi what size did you get your fajia?
September 2, 2016
Well before my cirjury I was small . So I got small but I wish they have x small cause I m skinny . My doctor asked me to buy another faja with the zipper to the side because it fif you nice but it can hurt you belly bottom. So buy the one t I the zipper that will not touch your belly bottom.

Feeling more with energy but still on pain . It is like burning feeling for moments. I try to suffer as most I can with the pain in order to avoid constipation from the pain killer . I m do happy the fibers , mango and whole wheat diet finally made it to #2 yesss!!! I noticed that the more you walk you feel more pain . But the doctor want you to walk a little bit but I'm not Killing my self walking. I read too many reviews that I took everybody advise. Thanks God this wedsite exist because otherwise I will be wondering if this is normal .. like the leaking pain etc.. I m just a little concerned because I forgot to take the right dosis of my antibiotics . But I call doctor morrison and he said it should be okay. On the name of Jesus everything should be right ladies !! Hold on there the pain is just temporary but the results will be permanent. That my motivation.

I m 41 too and have 2 children 3 and 5 Years old and I didn't have the time to go to the gym and see the results I was already fif person but I wasn't true confidence wearing a 2 piece bikini ans you know gravity don't forget you or wait for you. I made my decision and I have too send a lot positive cells to my body to have a nice healing. How your are doing with your 5 de Mayo Project?
August 8, 2016
Happy healing! How much was the procedure?
August 8, 2016
It wasn't a lot money but the hospital and anesthesiologist added something. Like 9k and something.

Glad you are doing better each day. When you mention muscle repair, are you talking about diastasis? This is what I have. I was told by a surgeon I was not a candidate for a full TT because my skin does not have a lot of elasticity and they would not be able to pull the skin down enough to keep the scar low. I do however, have the c-section shelf and my stomach protrudes because of the muscle separation. My concern was that the mini TT would not be able to fully fix the diastasis. Let me know. Thank you.
August 10, 2016
I really not sure what diastasis means but I used to have a lot elasticity in my skin maybe because my pregancies were huge belly 9 pounds babies with my two pregancy they were induced 3 weeks before my due day because they were monster will turn more than 10 pounds if I decided to go for 40 weeks. I have a c-section too with a very low scar you cannot even see it in my before picture. Doc was only concerned about to go mini tummy tuck due to a super slow c-section scar because if I decided for full I will have like 2 scars and I said foo my head ( hell nope , I couldn't even picture myself with two scars ) therfore, he decided to do mini TT with Muscles Repair. Every case is different but I will suggest you to go for more consultations because sometimes ypu cannnot go with the first one. I went to 6 different doctors and I ending paying with some of them their consultations. But it does looks similar to my case amd maybe it could be true your may need same procedure that I did. Good luck keep me posted !!
August 18, 2016
Thanks for your response. Diastasis is the technical term for the muscle separation caused from pregnancies. So, I am assuming this is what you had. I have had 2 consultations. Both told me similar results without knowing I had other consultations. It's just a matter of deciding. Hope your recovery is going well.

My Cinco de mayo project was awesome, it was a wonderful experience. I am so glad I did my TT , muscle repair and lipo. It was overall good experience, I met so much wonderful people throughout my journey. I am still swollen. I am trying to eat better, I have to stay away from processed food and carbs. (Its all the same) lol.
I also have a soon to be 3 year old and 5 year old boys.
Take it one day at a time, try not to do too much and always keep your compression garment on, all the time. No lifting at all.

Day 6 after my Mini TT and tightness Muscles!
La.senorita75August 11, 2016
Well Ladies , all these days I have experiance different things . But today I was able to walk and continue standing for 1 hour . Before on day 4 and 5 I was only moving around like 15 minutes and then I was super tired than I needed to sleep. I was to tell you my bigger complains MY Back Pain is killing me every day Dios mios!!!!!! Today got a little better because I m walking a little more straight finally right ! I used to walk like a old lady. Yesterday, day 5 I experienced something crazy I though I was going to stop breathing Lord. I Just Put The Zipper Down Of My garment or faja like 1/2 of my body so I can take a picture. And then OMG 5 minutes I was having short breath I couldn't breath well . So I put back and zipper again . But what Tha hek*# why is that ? After that I feel like that for a couple hour. !
The second thing that I m concerned is my drains. The right side is still coming up liquids (but they look like blood to me) and tomorrow is my first doc visit after cirjury. And I have a feeling that he will not removed it Jesus!! Also the smell of those liquids is getting a little weird smell. I got to do my research about that. Anyway ladies don't panic keep up on your mom makeover 's project. And please i try to cough and it was like nife on my muscle. I run to got some water !! .Lastly, the brusses are also intense and the soreness and swelling .
These are only my experiences that I been having on these couple days. My intention is not to scare you or change your mine .it is for you guys to be aware because sometimes doctor don't tell you the whole part of the story and according to most of them you can work (well is you work in a office sitting ) after 1 week but you body will tell you the truth. ! Have a nice day everyone !

1. You feel tired very easy
2 . Still a lot fluids coming out from the drains.
3. You cannot lift not even 1 pound cause it hearts .
4 .as your self. It's really worthy spend a lot money and risk it like that . ?
5. There is a lot back pain because the posture that you walk like a old lady .
6. There is a lot lack of sleep..
However, every body heal different and don't forget the risk of infection it's is always around. I hope this help you.
