WORTH IT$9,000

Just booked my TT with lipo to the flanks and inner thighs. I was very reluctant to put the down payment and actually book the procedure but I did it!! I am scared and excited at the same time! I have been searching doctors and having consults until I found the one that is was most comfortable with. I am struggling with a few things that I hope will subside.... I feel selfish!! I wish I could shake this feeling! It's not like anyone in my family is going without because I have to pay for this.... Why do I feel this way?!

I just had my mommy makeover five days ago and I can relate. I put it off for six years worried of the risks, what people would say, me feeling selfish, other people thinking I am selfish, etc... As mothers we always put our children first so when we decide to do stuff for ourself we feel guilty. I just put those feelings to the side and realized how important this was to me and I went for it. Eventhough I am only five days post op I am soooo happy that I did it and would tell you stay committed to doing this and you will be so happy. This website will get you through all these emotions :+)

Isn't it funny how us moms do that!! I am slowly working through these negative feelings! I know once I am done with the whole process it will all be fine!! Is it as painful as looks!!?? I am taking a whole month out of work.

So I may not be one to talk to because I have been doing fantastic. I expected the worse and have been very happy with the process. Yes the first three days hurts but it was tolerable. I had a pain pump and took my pain meds every four hours. I was able to walk and go to the bathroom fine. I am at day five and doing good. Walking fine, taking maybe one pain pill a day, and have little aches. I actually took off two and half weeks off and think I could go back sooner. But everyone recovers differently so if u are able to take a month off then go for it. I had a fast recovery with c section with twins and was pretty similar for me. This was my first time under anesthesia and was really worried about the effects of it. I guess I was so prepared for the absolute that I ended up being prepared better.

Oh in case you didn't look at my profile I had an extended tummy tuck with full muscle repair, lipo of flanks, and a breast lift (no implant).

Welcome to the community.

You are feeling guilty because as women we rarely do anything for ourselves. You deserve it and should do this. Keep your chin up and continue to move forward. This feeling will pass and you get closer to the surgery date.

Just remember that when your happy everyone knows it and is happy too. Your family will benefit from your new found happiness and confidence. After you get your new body you will be even more motivated to be healthy to keep it and surely that is also a good thing.
