Mommy makeover done 8/12/21

I went with Dr D after researching for YEARS, I mean about 14 years before I finally made the decision to go through surgery. I would find a Dr in my area, go to numerous consults and always back out, it just didn't feel right. Then I came across Dr D from a close friend and started checking out her stuff and doing my own research on it all again. I have always wanted a tummy tuck, since age 17. I had my first baby then and my belly was stretched and saggy since. I didn't always want breast implants but after researching and seeing results I knew I would of wanted it, so I added it on. After carrying and breastfeeding three baby boys, it was time for mommas body. It has been the best decision I've made for myself. Dr D is very sweet and has great bedside manner, my pre op anxiety went away as soon as I saw her. I wish I saw her afterwards but I was in so much pain and out of it that I didn't make it to see her at post op, i was waiting in the waiting room for about 2-3 hours after feeling so horrible the day after surgery. My body just couldn't handle it and I was so faint, as soon as she saw me she told the staff to get me dressed and out of there asap. I needed rest and muscle relaxers. After a few days, I came back again but she was on vacation so I was disappointed I didn't get to see her. She did text me and check up on me regularly. I didn't have any major complications other than spitting stitches from under my breasts (which can happen, not docs fault). It did leave me with some scars that I'm working on with scar treatments. It was an emotional rollercoaster dealing with that. I am 3mpo now, I'm still swelling but not as bad, I took 10 weeks off of work which I was grateful that I could do that. I took it easy and still do, I still don't lift or do anything too crazy. I had muscle repair and that was the last thing to heal, i was always so obsessed with getting those healed so I'm extra extra careful, the soreness didn't stop until 10 weeks, everyone is different and I just knew I needed that extra down time. I'm just so glad my hanging belly is gone and I have nice natural looking boobs! It's a surreal feeling.
