WORTH IT$6,500
I am 43 years old, 5'4 and about 140 pounds. I have two children 18 and almost 21. They were beautiful large babies (8.6 and 9.4 pounds) but the pregnancies did a number to my abdomen. I have wanted to do this for so long and I cant believe it's in 2 more days! I have previously had a breast lift w/ implants and a hernia surgery.
I am not really nervous about the actual surgery but more anxious about the recovery and how quickly I'll heal. My PS has assured me that I will have a very good outcome which is comforting. I'm scheduled for 7:30 Friday am and will stay overnight in a "hospitel".I really am excited about this and being able to feel good about myself again. I know I wont regret this!!

Day 2 at home for me, so far so good! I am so relieved it hasn't been horrible like I imagined. I took my meds last night before bed and slept like a rock! Woke up a little stiff but pain pill helped that pretty quick.I have set my alarm on my phone to take my meds when needed and so I don't confuse which one I took last. Not draining much at all and still not having any nausea! My daughters have been so fantastic helping me out and making sure I have everyting I need.
I still cant believe how good it looks even on day one! Happy healing to everyone else, and for those of you about to have yours done, don't worry!

So post op day 6,still feeling pretty good. I had my post op appt today and had one drain removed. Hoping to have the second one removed in the next few days when the drainage levels decrease. Dr. says everything looks really good and healing nicely at this point. Other than just moving a little slow I think my recovery has been fantastic! I was able to go to my family's for Christmas and had a great time.(maybe the meds helped lol) The first few days I camped out on the couch w/ everything in arms reach, but did make it up to my bed last night ahhh it was spiritual.
The compression garment on the other hand is a complete pain in the butt! I really dont know how I will be able to put that thing back on by myself when i I have to and the thought of wearing it for 5 more weeks
is overwhelming. Oh well, gotta do what I gotta do! .
Hope everyone is healing nicely and having a wonderul holiday!
