I love how much information my doctor gave me at our consultation. I have our pre-op appointment on the 9th and surgery on the 26th.
I've had three babies all via c-section. Gained 50+ with each baby. Had huge babies, my biggest being 12.2! My stomach is deformed. I work out 5-6 times a week and nothing will change it but surgery. I've lost all my baby weight and am 5'6 and 138lbs size 4. I've also elected to have my breasts done because hell, why not.

You look great! I am having my tt in 5 weeks. I had my ba last year and love my results. Any tt advice? How did you sleep?

You need a recliner...I slept in mine for the first week. My biggest advice is just know it is a long healing process. I didn't stand up straight for the first 3-4 weeks and had a lot of back pain. The heating pad was my best friend then. I turned a corner around 4 1/2 weeks and was movin around a lot better. Now at 10 weeks I'm pretty much back to normal. I ran 4 miles on treadmill yesterday but not at my usual speed but getting there. I'm not into my jeans yet, it's still uncomfortable to wear anything too tight around my stomach but I think that in another 2 weeks I should be able to. It's a hard recovery but totally 100% worth it! Good luck to you and let me know if you have any other question

I'm so excited for you! You are going to look fanominal! You already have nice breasts and just the added umph wI'll give them a great shape. You can always get a lift later if you want one. I can't wait to see the transformation of your tummy, how exciting!!! I look forward to your posts. If you have any questions let me know. :) I will say it's worth the pain of feeling like you did 1000 sit ups!!

I survived! Everything is swollen but from what I can see looks good. Staying on top of pain meds is so important, as long as I take every 4 hours on the dot I'm not bad. Amen that I came home with a catheter! I can't imagine having to keep getting up to pee and will keep it in until Saturday or Sunday most likely. The more I can move I'll update with pictures. Icing my boobs seems to help a lot. Not too much pain on top.
