Tummy Tightening Monologues - Los Angeles, CA
After giving birth to three amazing children...
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!...

I got mine out yesterday as well!! I am trying so...
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!!!
