After giving birth to three amazing children it's time to bring my body body back to it's original form. I knew once I had my first child 10 years ago, I wanted a tummy tuck. I didn't want to have the procedure, until I was absolutely positive, I needed confirmation I was done bearing children and tried working out and eating a clean diet would not briing about the results I was searching for. After each child I gained approx. 45-60 pounds and lost it each time. My body never had it's groove back. My stomach was always lax and my muscles would not sinch in my stomach! I have been staying at the same weight for the past 18 months and now is the time! I decided I want to enjoy my body again wear and desired clothing with confidence.

Day 3 post op. I think I am doing much better! Still spending the majority of the time on my back. My kids have all been helping and love to help me fill my water and help me walk to the restroom. I have watched 5 movies in the past 24 hours. water for Elephants and Crazy, Stupid, Love are my faves so far!! regarding my body, my sides are burning. I get tingling in my stomach and small spasms every so often. I have a major bed head!! LOL On a brighter side, my stomach and waist look the best I have seen them since I was a teenager!! My husband has been very supportive and helpful!! I can't wait to get rid of my "balls or package"!! :)

I got mine out yesterday as well!! I am trying so hard to wean off the Vicodine!! my back hurts soooo much!! Well, all over pain.. At 4am, I gave in and took one!! Then, I slept great!!

Taking the drains out was a Godsend though!!! I feel like a normal person with a LOT of back pain and tenderness in my Stomach..

I am sooo happy with the results!! The Doctor said I was recovery great and to try my best to wear the compression garment. He said it would really help. He wants me to lie down flat and wean off the Vicodine.. He believes the faster off the meds the faster recovery!! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
