Ok so, originally I was supposed to get water lipo of the abdomen and flanks on Feb 16th 2017. I get in the preparation room, ready to take the sedatives and the Dr comes in and says my abdominal wall was bulged out and that I only have fat on the lower portion of my stomach so I wouldn't get good results! He said he can remove a small amount of fat right about my belly button and the fat at the bottom of my stomach! But I wouldn't see a significant difference! He suggested a tummy tuck to repair my abdominal wall! I agreed and pushed the surgery back! I'm excited and ready to get back to loving myself! Im afraid to get put to sleep but I will be facing my fears March 6th!

Good luck tomorrow! My mommy makeover is scheduled for April 20th. PLEASE let me know how it goes.

I was just wondering how your tummy tuck went and how you are doing? I am getting a tummy tuck done in April. I'm a mom of 4 so very nervous. Any help or suggestions would be great:)

Hi! My tummy tuck went very good! I was more afraid of being put to sleep than the actual surgery the whole time! I mentally prepared myself for the surgery! I was ready to deal with whatever pain came afterwards gracefully! The best preparation is mental! Just try to think positive about your experience and remember the reward is greater than the risk

It's been about 4 days and I'm already off the pain meds! So it's not THAT bad! Sleeping on my back is getting to me more than anything else! I'm a belly sleeper

Hi! I'm getting my mommy makeover April 20th. I'm scared as hell! I'm 44, 3 kids, 5'2", 145 lbs. what are you getting done?

I got a full TT with lipo of the love handles and bra pads! I was extremely nervous as well but everything is healing well! I'm 9 days PO now and I'm only struggling with getting my mind and my body to cooperate! My mind is ready to get out and go but my body is like nope! You'll do fine!

Btw, what clothing are you wearing? Pj's? Aren't yoga pants too tight around your waist? Are you in bed or a recliner? How soon can you move around more? This business of NOT moving is stressing me out! I'm a mom of three and I do EVERYTHING ! I can't imagine being waited on hands and feet by my husband and kids.

I have been in pjs since the surgery! I first week I wore night gowns (and depends because I wasn't getting to the bathroom fast enough) the night gown gives you a comfy feeling! Plus it definitely helps keep these annoying drains from snagging on pants! I graduated to pj pants two days ago! I have to pull them well above my waist or I'll feel pain in my hip from The lipo! I sleep in my bed with my legs up and 4 pillows behind me because I didn't have a recliner! I was up and moving, washing my garments and cooking small breakfast by day 3! It's not as bad, u just can't stand up straight and that's frustrating! Enjoy having their help! I'm a single mom of 3 (9,5,2) how I wish I had a husband lol

When I said with my legs up, I have pillow underneath my legs as well! So I'm in a reclined position just in my bed! GET A BODY PILLOW! I thought about it beforehand but didn't do it! I would suggest it because you're going to be very sore and you'll want something cozy to hug at night! Your husband will not do unless he's a teddy bear lol

Second opinion
mzkmarieFebruary 22, 2017
Ok so today I am going on for a second opinion because I really don't want to get a tummy tuck but I will if it's needed! The surgeon said that he can do aggressive liposuction on my abdomen, bra line and love handles and that I'll have to change my diet and wear the garment for a long time to flatten out the fat underneath my abdominal muscles! I'm getting ready to meet with him now so that I can come to a decision!

Tummy Tuck Decision
mzkmarieFebruary 22, 2017
Ok so I made up my mind, I'm going to just get the tummy tuck done! I've switched my Dr as well because he made me feel more comfortable than Dr Kagen! Almost to the flat side guys! I also might be moving my procedure up to the 28th! I'll keep u guys posted
You can do this! Keep telling yourself it's short term and the results will be fantastic.
