Super excited to finally have this scheduled! I've been wanting this for a couple years now. Ready to feel like a woman again! Before having two kids I have always been fit. I'm 5'-2" and was 105 lbs.... Now I'm 130. My muscles are so far apart- no amount of excercise would help to grow them back together. They need total reconstruction, Plus I've always had a more 'square' - 'athletic' body and I want curves! I'll be having a full tummy tuck with lipo from back flanks aka 'muffin top' that will be transfers to my hips.

I added a few more before pics to remind myself why I'm doing this. I'm sick of having a perma pregnant belly. I'm sick of hiding under my clothes all the time. I will use this surgery as a catalyst to get healthy and fit again. I can't wait, but I'm really nervous!

One day post opp

One day post opp and I'm in mild- moderate pain. I haven't even attempted to look at my new bod, for the moment I will stay bandaged. I have two drains in but there's really not much fluid coming from either.... Hopefully it's not clogged!
I was really nervous yesterday but the staff at High Pointe were amazing. I was terrified of anesthesia and just wanted to wake up. I remember being in the surgery room then boom, I woke up in pain. They gave me two oxy's and I was good to go! My mom, an RN, took care of me last night. Draining my drains, feeding me pills every four hours... Thank god! I'll add an after picture next week when the dr switches my garment.
We will see how it goes tonight, I've heard people say the first four days are the hardest and most painful. Last night I did get woozy after standing to get to the bathroom but warded off the feeling with water and my trusty saltines????????I did cough one and that was painful.

Hang in there friend - it will get better. I'd say the first 4 days were the worst... by day 5 I was moving pretty good... I'm 2 weeks tomorrow - and I'm down to one nap a day :)

Thanks for your comments! I'm feeling a bit better today though now I feel burning sensation at my seam. Is this normal? I feel like it's ripping open! I'm a bit nervous as I was instructed to not take the dressing off until I see my doc next week. What if there is an infection!?

I had that like near my groin I think on week 2??? For me gently stretching worked wonders. And I don't mean like yogi stretching. Lol just like taking extra long steps on that side. Mine was on the left

Definitely gets better!
Stay positive and rest lots. And try not to sneeze!
