Recovering from Surgery Day! - Hampton, VA

Hello everyone! I am currently scheduled for March 9th for a tummy tuck, liposuction on the hip rolls, and liposuction on the medial thighs. I had a rough pregnancy with my son due to many terrible health conditions, and it caused me to swell up like a balloon. Then, to make matters worse, they had to put me on bed rest, causing me to gain weight faster due to inactivity. Long story short, I went from weighing a healthy 145 lbs strong to weighing in at 215 lbs after childbirth. I am now down to 157 lbs and still losing. The weight loss was importat because I am active duty Air Force, and the weight could risk my job. I can't wait to have my surgery! I have worked hard to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight, and getting all of the extra skin and stubborn fat out of the way will definitely boost my confidence towards losing the rest of my weight.

I'm growing so impatient! I talk about my surgery to my husband every day, and it seems like it can't come fast enough. I've lost another 3 pounds, so hopefully I will be able to get down to at least 150 lbs before surgery day. I have no hesitations about the surgery at this point, and I couldn't be more excited. I will post my before pictures soon(even though they are very embarrasing.)

Surgery day is getting closer! My pre-op in on February 24th, and I am getting a little anxious. I wish time would go by faster, because I am tired of being trapped in this body. I was uploading my pictures, and it was really an eye opener as to how disproportionate my legs are because of my awful thighs. And my stomach is just, ugh. Come on, March 9th! Get here already!
