WORTH IT$11,000

hello, I am 35, mother of three boys, 10, 5 and 1. In all my three pregnancies I gained close to 60 lbs, I did managed to lose the 60 lbs each time, but of course i have the saggy skin left and somehow i still look 4 months pregnant, I am sure some of you gals might relate lol. Also, I have some strechmarks under my belly button area. I thought first that by doing smart lipo in my belly would help take out the pregnant look but I went to one of the best smart lipo surgeons in miami(DR.Chang) and he told me the only way would be to do muscle repair with tummy tuck, that was a hard hit for me :(. It took me a couple of months after research to finally decide to do one.. . I am also happy that my husband has been so supportive of my decision. I am worried about my 3 kids, especially for my one year old, how long would it be until i can carry him?. So here I come..Oct 5th is my date! i am freaking out but excited at the same time. I better look awesome by Christmas time!! lol

It sounds like you are ready to roll! Thank you for posting your journey here on RealSelf. I look forward to following you as you go through your surgery and recovery.

Your kids will do just fine. As long as you are at home they will adapt. They are very resilient and will bounce with you.

Make sure to take some before pictures because it's so much fun to watch the changes taking place.

Thank you Kimmers! i have a couple of questions, is it possible to sleep on your side with pillows after the tummy tuck? I am asking because i am also going to do a fat transfer to my buttocks, the doctor told me it would be fine to sleep on my back in the recliner, but some people have told me you can sleep on your side if your butt hurts too much :). Also, can you tell me some of the examples of things to avoid eating after the surgery (for gas and constipation), i am planning to make a list for my husband to cook for me such as protein shakes, meals. For protein shakes, i got whey protein powder from GNC, i hope that works. I am really going to try to avoid constipation by taking MOM as soon after surgery.

9 days for the big day!! last night i could'nt sleep because i started thinking about it and getting nervous..., this morning i started reading all your blogs and I started feeling better and excited right away. I got my set of arnica and bromelain pills yesterday, the package also came with pre and post vitamins but my surgeon told me to stop taking all vitamins :(. I am going to try to go buy some pijama pants and a button shirt for the surgery day. Does anyone recommend any good protein shakes to make or buy? Ok i am going to stop typing now, my one year old is pulling my pants to pay attention to him :). Talk to you soon!

Jessica219,
I've done a lot of research on the post opt sleeping patterns for TT/BBL and it's not recommended U sit or lay on tour buttocks for at least 3wks. For this precedure (which im also having) it would be best to lay on your side. Getting 2 long pillows with help.
