Back in June of 2016 I had lipo. I did receive some improvement but I still looked a mess. It's almost as if I retain all my baby weight in my back in the bra area. Dr said I have mostly loose skin in my abdomen and recommended a TT and as far as the bra area a skin excision. So on Jan 3rd I go in for a TT,LIPO OF UPPER BACK AND SKIN EXCISION. I am expecting the love handles to disappear, a flat stomach with a flawless scar,my true waistline revealed and a nice smooth back that reveals my true arches lol. Dr B said I'm gonna be in love when I step out the shower looking in that mirror. I hope so. I am right at 20k in on this journey. I've been a mother since 16yo and it's been all about them. I'm ready to be summertime slim thick fine ;;; ))

Update:
Ok so recovery hasn't been so bad. I went in Tuesday had the procedure came home super high. I tried to walk but my hubby and daughter yelled at me saying I wasn't supposed to, ummm, pretty sure I was supposed to but ok whatever my pelvic area was on fire every single time I tried to walk. 1/4 took meds slept felt lots and lots of fullness and just discomfort. I thought I was going to burst trying to get cleaned up. 1/5 same as 1/4 except now I'm in pain constipated:(. 1/6 pain is at a low so I took first round of pain meds then I realized anything I am doin that could have me constipated will stopped. The meds was the first to go , I did finish my lovenox. At some point the burning stopped. 1/7 I look my self over and realize my stomach shaped like and egg ..???? but may just be swollen, my left side is banging, my right side is bulky and loose skin ( I'm praying it miraculously start looking like my left side) and it totally looks like I did not have A BBL in June. My crack is on my back and my butt looks flat to me. I expected it to appear to stick out more???????? Lord knows I'm hoping and praying I'm just swollen because my back was lipo'd.
My follow up is Thursday and when he see this right side I hope he can ease my mind on why it don't look like the other side and where might my butt have gone????

Omg! I am crying laughing so kuch at this update! I am trying not to expect miracles but i apprechiate your honest portrayal of recovery. I am having tt on March 2. Two years ago i had breast reduction and the final result was great but it took months before my boobs looked a bit better:0 I was getting scared there for awhile but patience is key :)

I must make an update but I was on the phone with my mom one night and I shouted out praises because after I took off all my garments and clothes I could see that my butt was starting to return she thought that was thee most hilarious stuff ever. I was so seriously worried for a minute though. I can say today it's looking much better. I will post pics soon. Don't be afraid going in. I would say just have a motorized recliner and a shower seat. Those played a big part on my recovery

Thanks! I picked up the recliner this afternoon:) Bought a potty seat elevator yesterday. Borrowed a walker....i am as prepared as best as i think i can be....now it i can just stop all my stress eating! I ate half a tub of cheesecake filling last night and i'm seriously thinking of having the rest right now!!! And i really want nachos too!!! YIKES

I stressed a lot too. I was really scared of going under, managing the pain and honestly everyone is different but recovery wasn't as bad as I heard some say it would be. Plenty discomfort and even a few times I wondered why I did this to myself but by day 3 it started to get better and each night after I went to bed wondering what improvement will I see the next day and it been all good . I do have some fluid build up but going to Dr Monday and hope it's not so bad. I will be praying for you and following.. I never thought I'd ever have a tt. Never really wanted one. I just wanted a smooth back and a better waistline. But... I can see a self esteem boost underway

I am 54 so I don'the expect a miracle and unless it kills me or leaves a large gaping permanent hideous wound anything has got to be better than now! I can take the pain:)
