I'm a momma of two awesome kids who really took a toll on my body! I was pretty heavy and opted to have a sleeve Gastrectomy and successfully lost 80ish pounds! I'm currently 5'4 and 136 pounds. I feel so small but I have SO much extra loose skin around my entire middle. I consulted several surgeons with the expectation of just needing a plain ol tummy tuck but each and every one said...well, you could do that but honestly you won't be happy and proceeded to pull up ALL the sagging skin (ugh). After a few months I finally decided, a whole lower body lift is definitely for me. I also want a BA to help fill the void my breastfed babies left but honestly, this surgery is too extensive to add anything to it, so those will have to come later. I've been in a bit on denial that this was really going to happen and suddenly it's HERE, Tuesday is surgery day!!! I have all the post op goodies like chux, pads, cleaning wipes, dry shampoo, and extra compression garment...all awesome suggestions I've gotten from all of you. So, tomorrow I make my last final plans to get the house ready and then YES, surgery bright and early Tuesday morning. Getting so excited!

Going in at 7:30 tomorrow morning for my lower body lift. Took some last minute pre-op pics and some measurements.
Ribcage- 32 inches
Waist- 30 inches
Hips- 40 inches

Can't wait to see those numbers drops!!!

I get to shower tomorrow. I'm ok with waiting, I'm having some pretty nasty pain today. Walking some but since I'm a circumforential I can't find a comfortable place, most TTers I see hunch forward but when I do that my back incison burns like fire!! Sorry to hear your having a bit of a rough time too. I've loaded up on zofran because I've felt really neauseated. Hopefully the worst ends soon for us!
