Muscle repair- most anxiety and most rewarding!

WORTH IT$19,600
Everyone has said it on here that you will have low lows and high highs. My lows combined with anxiety and asthma were pretty hard at the beginning.
Waking up and feeling like I couldn't breath was both a fear prior to surgery and a realty after my surgery. The feels of wearing the tightest corset (and I don't like corsets to begin with) and not being able to take it off for a deep breath was terrifying. My saving grace was the spirometer. This showed me that I was breathing and able to hold the ball up for the number of seconds required. This was my calm. Whenever my anxiety was taking over this is what I went to to prove to myself I was ok.
Fast forward 8 weeks and my absolute favorite part of the tummy tuck is the muscle repair. The feeling of tightness and the pull are comforting like a security blanket. It's also a confidence builder and a motivator to not let this feeling lax.
Extremely happy at 8 weeks and motivated moving forward. Faced the anxiety (although at that point not much else to do than to face it ????) and taught myself a way to handle the fears that I faced.

You look great ! How do you feel? I had my mommy makeover on Dec 13th as well-reasoned lift snd augment, mini tummy tuck, full muscle repair (top through BB), lipo to flanks stomach arm pits and inner thighs.
I have similar flank bruising to you. Feeling better everyday. No pain meds now. Super swollen especially inner thighs and stomach. Have seroma in abdomen -drained 100cc today:( no infection though. Got my tapes off today....feeling kind of down how I look though.
I think you look great. Are you pleased with how things are going ?

Hi, thank you! I'm feeling great, just a lot of swelling! My husband said that the bruises were much worse before. I had tummy tuck, muscle repair, breast lift, lipo of my back sides arm pit and inner thighs. I took pain meds for 3 days and then Tylenol for 2 days.
I am happy that I did it, just getting tired of the back pain and lack of energy. I'm not moving much and still not standing upright yet :( I took 3 weeks off work and thank god I did because there is no way I'm ready!
How is your seroma? When did you get your drains out? Glad you're feeling well and no infections! Post pics, be excited because it will only get better!!
Keep me updated on your progress!!
