27, Tummy Tuck and Breast Aug - Grand Rapids, MI

Finally decided to schedule a full tummy tuck and breast augmentation after 3 consultations in GR. Scared but I know it will be worth it in the end! Appreciate any advice and tips:) I'm having a drain less tummy tuck with flank Lipo and saline mod plus implants (auxiliary) as Dr. Ringler recommended. Unsure on size, as I am already a D, but saggy and deflated. I am 5'10 with broad shoulders and want to be big. Thinking 600cc?

Biggest fears: obviously pain, ending up with a high tummy tuck scar, weird bb, going back to work (will go back 12 days PO), what to tell people at work, necrosis and bad scarring, ugh and plenty more! Just trying remember that anything will be better than what I have now haha! Dr. Said I don't have diastasis but you can see how far my stomach sticks out (fully relaxed in pics.)

Still have a little while to go until my surgery Feb 22, but I am already getting anxious!! I don't feel as though it has really sunk in that I am doing this but when I think about it I just want it to be here already! I also had my first surgery nightmare. I read some other reviews in here of people having these before their surgeries. I dreamt I was splitting open at my stomach and woke up in a panic. Ugh! I have never had any type of surgery before and so I don't have any idea what to expect. Also, I've been doing a terrible job of eating good lately. I have like zero motivation. Not sure if it's just the holidays or I'm in the mentality that I'm having this mommy makeover soon so it won't matter and I just feel less pressure to eat as healthy as my normally would. I'd love any advice on what to do over these next couple of months. Good luck to everyone having their surgeries soon!

I made it to the flat side! Yesterday was my surgery and it went very smoothly. I was surprisingly calm and it went so fast. I had no Nausea which I was really worried about. Minimal pain just mostly soreness and tightness of muscles. Been keeping on schedule with my pain meds as I don't want to get behind. Norco every 4 hours, Valium every 6 and ibuprofen every 8 hours. Trying to get up periodically to move around but doing well. My husbands been wonderful waiting on me and changing bandages. I do have a lot of gas pain which I'm not sure why. I have been drinking prune juice and taking some dulcolax to try to make sure no have a bm at some point but none so far. I ended up with 510cc saline under Muscles and they are barely sore. Incisions were in armpits and noobs are really high and hard right now. Stomach and Punic area also extremely hard and swollen. Glad surgery is over and now just recover!
