Hello RS ladies. I am eager to post my journey...
WORTH IT$12,900
Hello RS ladies. I am eager to post my journey thus far for all of you. I kept meaning to post my prior feelings, lifestyle and journey but life was getting away from me as I have three sons AND three step sons. So here I am to post as much as I can to get caught up. I have already had my full tummy tuck, muscle repair and back lipo this week on 11/12/15. The experience thus far has been pretty difficult with the pain in my adominal wall pretty severe. Plus I am suffering with nausea and sleep deprivation. I am having trouble breathing at times and I am hoping it's because of the compression garment. A little back story...I went through a divorce awhile back, became thin, ran a lot, practiced yoga and smoked (yuck I know) since then I have quit the dirty smoking habit a year ago and went on a medication called aldactone to treat major adult acne that suddenly appeared. I put on ten pound over the last 4 mos due the medicine and at the request of my doctor to limit exercising temporarily until the enraged acne got under control.I am engaged to the most amazing man who also happened to have three boys. We are a big modern Brady bunch household.i was ready to really treat myself and with the support of my new man I was finally able fulfill my dream of taking away my mama belly. I am 5,2" and my boys were 8-9 pounds in a period of five years. I am already short waisted so I had no waist line due to chub, excess skin and distasis.

Second day after surgery.
Not sleeping more than three hours at a time. Eating every hour, mostly apples. That is helping with nausea and barfing. A little anxiety when leaning back because the garment is so tight it's hard to take deep breathes.

Also wanted to mention 2.3 pounds of skin removed from my belly. Almost 3 liters of fat from liposuction (that was mind blowing to me)

Sleep deprived
Day three post op. I am only sleeping two hours every night. Sleeping in a rented electric chair which can be a bit challenging. My lovely man nurse is amazing. Staying right on top of meds for pain. My ab muscles are feeling a tad stronger. PS asked that I don't shower for 5-7 days. I have been itchy m. Picture below are from sneak peak when we got home.
