I'm having a full tummy tuck with lipo of my flanks and inner and outer thighs. I've always wanted a tummy tuck and my sweet hubby (2nd marriage - married for 1 year now) surprised me with this! Now that it's becoming a reality, I'm not as serious about it as I thought I was, lol. I've talked myself in and out of doing it several times already. BUT, God willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll be "on the flat side" as you all like to say (love it!) in just under a month. What??? :)

I picked up Arnica Montana and bromelain today as well alcohol, stool softener, pain reliever; things like that. I'm still iffy about getting a recliner. I don't want to buy a recliner just for this and I have such a small living space I'm not sure where ill put it. What about you?

I didn't put very much personal info in my original post so here goes. 46 years old and a servant of The Most High God. The most important aspect of my life! Also mom of 2 boys and 1 granddaughter. Man I love that little girl! I also adore my boys. :) I have gone through menopause (early) and what used to come off without much effort, is almost impossible to come off now. Weight. Yeah that. Lol! So, hopefully this will propel me into a more healthful mindset. Oh yes, almost 5'7" and weight 179. It only gets better from here on out!

Saved, thanks for sharing your profile and keep us posted on journey. I will be glad to follow you. I'm only 9 days post today but looking forward to a continued successful recovery. You also can consider renting a recliner instead of purchasing you. Check with a hospital/medical supply store in your area. You want to look for a fully lift electrical one.
