WORTH IT
A week from today I will be recovering from surgery and I truly can't wait for it!!! I had 3 kids, all natural births, but I had a 3 abdominal procedures in the last few years (tubal ligation, partial hysterectomy and ovary removal) and I has definitely taken a tall on my abdomen... The skin on top of my incision hurts at the end of the day if I don't wear support underwear and sucking it in doesn't work anymore, LOL!!
I'm 5'2" and 124 and I really want to look the way I feel; I'm not someone who likes to exercise, but my eating habits are really good, I eat mostly non processed foods, lots of fruits and vegetables, lean meats and non fat products, I really enjoy eating healthy.
I had my first consultation a couple months ago and the doctor gave me the option of only lipo, mini TT w/ lipo and full TT with lipo, which is what I'm going for and he said that based on my body frame and lifestyle I should expect great results.
I already had my pre-op last week and I had my prescriptions for norco and valium, I have high tolerance to pain, so I hope that norco will be good enough, my PS to call him if it wasn't.
So far my concern is making sure I don't get sick on the way home, I'm sure he'll give me something for nausea.
Also, what kind of car have you found it's best? I have an SUV and a sedan, which one will be best to get in and out after surgery?

I came home I my mom's Toyota Highlander. It wasn't hard to get into or out of. I didn't feel sick at all but was clear with the nurse anesthetist that I usually get sick from anesthesia.

You are almost there! I say come home in the sedan. I put a pillow and a towel to sit on in the car. The pillow helped beh my back but I originally thought it would help w the seatbelt! I, too have a high pain tolerance and didn't take any pain pills in the hospital stay and only used Tylenol when I got home. I did take Percocet and soma at night before going to bed only cause u wanted to just sleep well all night long. My biggest pain was walking and how it hurt my low back so keeping up on the Tylenol helped w that. I am still napping a lot and rest is very important. It's a big surgery and you want recovery to go well so take it easy and if u need the pain pills ---take them! I didn't bruise much at all and I was prepared for the worst. I did wo a walker but I did use the shower chair and that was well worth it. Good luck with everything and have no worries, take every day as it comes and it will all work out. Keep us posted on your progress!

OMG, surgery is just a few hours away and I can't sleep, I'm usually really calm whe it comes to surgeries, but I guess this time it's different since it will be sorta life changing....
I've got all my meds and supplies, instructions for my kids ( they're older 12, 19 and 22) they'll be cleaning the house, doing some last minute grocery shopping and getting the couch ready for me.
I hope I feel OK to post tomorrow, wish me luck!!
