Hello everyone, I'm a 31 year old mother of three. 10, 5, and 10 mo. Every 5 years I was popping out a kid lol. My current size is 5ft 7in. & 180 lbs. My first two boys did minimal damage to my body...nothing I felt like I couldn't live with. My 10 mo. old daughter on the other hand was a different story, she left me with a bad case of muscle separation that makes me look disfigured in my clothes... I mean I look 4 months preggo in the morning and about 7 months by evening! I have been on one consulatation and plan to have surgery Feb 9th 2011. So anxious and super nervous! My doctor does not preform Lipo though which has me alittle worried, I am not over weight but feel as though I may need it some??

Three Weeks to go! I paid my feee today so there is no turning back...I am up to 185 lbs so I am beginning my diet today as well. I will have a beach body by summer! but more importantly a stronger core. This extra wieght and week core make it hard to even stand for ong periods of time. Can't wait to rejoin a bowling league. Wish me luck!

Good luck. I'm having mine on the 3rd of Feb. I'm so ready but still a little scared. I agree it's too late since I paid in full. 8 days to go. Yeah!
January 25, 2011
you are 5 days ahead of me...please post and let me know how it went for you...I'm super scared about the recovery pain.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Once I'm able to I plan to comment on the pain. Maybe after I get out the hospital. So far everyone is telling me the pain isn't that bad. I hope they are right. And I'm having lipo to my thighs, lower back and sides. Plus muscle repair to my abs. That spells pain to me. I will lnow in a few days
January 25, 2011
I will keep hoping and praying for you that your pain is not bad. Everyone is different so just go in expecting the worst and it may not be so bad for you.
You will come through like a champ! All of the pain in temporary anyway!!
January 25, 2011
good luck and if your doctor is good please refer because I am looking for a surgeon in the Tennessee/Mississippi area.

I'm feeling ok. Can't sleep didn't expect this binder to be so unfortable. It even pinches. I'm having a really har time with this body binder. Ant suggestion. Plus I have to sleep in this thing. Wow this is hard for me.
And my Pelvic area is huge! Very sore were the tubes are. I guess everything can't go to smooth.
Ha Kimmers25, thanks for the poop dance. It worked lol! Wasn't that bad. Hopefully the pelvic area will go down soon.

Hey there MsDeeva - Oh you have the swelling and a classic man package right now. The first time I looked at mine I about screamed. It was so swollen and freaky looking. It will go down but takes some time. Ice pack it and that will help and make it feel better. Once the drains are out that will really help those sites.
Now for the binder...wear a soft cotton tank top under it. That will give you some protection from the poking and rubbing.
Hurray for the poopy dance, glad it worked. As long as you are taking the pain meds I would keep taking a dose a day of the MOM. It will keep you regular.
As you know I ditched my binder at 3 days post op. It about made me mental.

I started taking Senna tablets last night to see if i can have a BM but i'm feeling nausious this morning :(
The binder gets annoying but i find the tubes/drains to be more annoying and if i move a certain way it feels like it's being torn out!
Is your binder too tight? I have mine pretty much as tight as it can go and still feel like it should be tighter?
My butt and back are getting sore from just laying around though.
I need someone to do the poop dance for me!! Feeling very bloated :(

I know your pain. For some reason I've become a cry baby. Last night When I couldn't sleep i became oissed at my husband and woke him up crying. I wasn't in pain, like you the drain tubes hurt.
Maybe my shower will make me feel better. And yes this binder at night feels as if it's tighten itself up lol. Thats why I was up last night.
I gave up on trying to stand up completely. My back with this binder is killing me.
Mystical 19 how often are you getting up and do you get hungry only at night. For some reason I cant eat during the day so i eat fruit all day and drink lots of water then at night my stomach hurts from hunger pain. Just curious?

I've been blessed with the pain not being too bad. Taken my meds on time i think has been huge. I'm drinking between 5-6 water bottles (approx 20 oz each) so i'm getting up lots to pee.
I'm thinking that the binder feels tighter at night because of the activity we do during the day and the tummy swells up for night and gets back to where it should be and then we do it all over again? Does your body itch with the binder on or when you rub your skin underneath almost feel bruised?
I haven't been hungry much at all and have had to force myself to eat most of the time. I too have been eating a LOT of fruits and vegetables. I haven't eaten past 7pm pretty much for about 6 years so my body still is used to not eating at night.
This morning was prolly my toughest so far. I finally was able to have a BM but OUCH! I got a fever after and the chills :(
