hello everyone I'm 34 yrs old I have a daughter that is 14, I have decided to get a mommy makeover, I'm getting a breast redcution and a tummy tuck done at the same time, if I'm going under must do it all at once. I have never been under the knife before so I don't know how that is going to go,I'm soooo nervice I almost talked myself out of it and then realized what the hell was I thinking lol, I want this fat, and extra skin gone. Right now for my breast reduction I'm almost a DD and I want to go down to a C my doctor said that would be fine for my weight and for how tall I am of only 5'3 and 170 pounds yuk I have never told people that just out of the blue before, but I just think of the end results.

Ok have to say I am not looking forward to the pain I'm going to tell my doctor for the best drugs possible, I have talked to some ladies and they say to get better drugs then T3's, as I am going in this thursday Oct 28 2010 for my pre appointment then he will get my list of worries, then I will find out when my surgery date is, oh god it's just around the corner. well I will update as soon as I can. And by the way this web site rocks

I haven't talked to anyone that regrets having a TT. I know I am excited and nervous all at the same time. All I think about is my upcoming surgery it is in a little over 6 weeks not sure if my patience will hold out but I don't have a choice.

I went to my doctors today to see when my surgery date is and they said 4 weeks, I will know the date tomorrow when they call me. I had pictures taken, talked about how long the surgery will be he said 4 hours not to bad for what I am getting done. As for drugs he said percocets, vicodin and anti inflammitory so I'm happy my mind is at rest for now. I got asked if I wanted to stay the night in the hospital, so I'm thinking maybe but not sure if anyone has a done this before let me know. I will keep updating till my big day.

How did your appointment go today? Just realized today was your preappointment. Just a warning I have been more restless since setting my date than I was before. It is all I think about. Before setting my date it was not such an intense thought process it was just something I want to do now that it is a reality it can't seem to get here fast enough.

It is hard not to get anxious about the pain. A girlfriend of mine had the same surgery I am having with the same PS. While she said it was painful she said around the two week mark she was doing much better and she is happy with her results and would do it again. I will be staying overnight in the hospital. My friend told me that was a lifesaver the first 24hrs were the hardest and it was nice to have nurses to help out. Don't talk yourself out of it. Just think about all the inches you will be losing and how wonderful you are going to look:)

We look like twins. I'm 5'2 145 and dd. I go in on Monday the 1st for tt, lipo, and reduction. Oh dear God that is tomorrow! It is 2:45 AM can you tell I'm nervous? This feels very much like having a baby.... nervous, excited & worried about the pain. I have been "nesting" as well just like pre delivery. Cleaning the house making lists, making meals etc. I will keep you posted. Not sure if I'm up for posting pics but I will let you know how it goes. Good luck!

Hey everyone I'm 18 days post op now and doing...

hey everyone I'm 18 days post op now and doing awesome the pain that I had was only for the first week and it was very mild. I was on oxyc for 3 days then I went to tylenol 3 for a few days and just advil for a few days and now nothing can't believe how great I feel in 18 days. I'm still wearing my binder I feel so much better with it on.

My doctor said I can start massaging my scar next week at my 3 week mark, I'm on the fence with that one cause lots of ladies have told me that their doctors say to wait a month or 6 weeks so I don't know what to do, my scar doesn't hurt at all it's raised a little bit but no much, I'm still numb from the belly button to my scar line and that is normal, my girlfriend had her tt done 9 months ago and she still a little numb so I guess we all heal differently.

My boobs are awesome they are so perky I love them so does my husbsnd lol he touched them for the first time and he said they are still big I love him he is so cute lol. anyways I'm not sure what size bra I am yet, still a little swollen but my doctor said a nice C cup so I'm good with that. I bought 2 sports bras the other day for the first time ever and they fit sooo nice, so I'm just wearing them till my swelling goes down then I will order online at Victoria Secret can't wait. I'm going to Cuba in 40 days so I need to buy all new cloths and a new swim suit but have to wait till my swelling goes down I want to shop now. And also say goodbye to the fat roll this year baby it's gone.

I'm numb from my belly button down to the scar line and it's still swollen thats the only place I think is swollen. Hope it goes away cause it looks like a little fat roll. My doctor said next week I can massage my scar and all that so thats what I'm going to do, 6 week sounds like a long time too wait,did they say why to wait 6 week?
January 10, 2011
Im not sure why that lady said massage your scar after 6 weeks. I would listen to when our Drs tell us to start. :) As for the roll you say you have, I am sure in time it will go away. We have aloooong way to go:)

You know, today I shaved my pubic area, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!! and I was very careful and took my time. Did a really good job. I was careful and went around the scars where my drains came out of and away from my TT scar and about 1 hour later my tummy, where my incision is felt like I put too much presure on it. I probably put pressure on the area when I bent over to shave. I don't think my ab muscles are quite ready for me to assume certain positions. It is not painful, but I can feel some discomfort. :(
