I had my mommy makeover on tues. I hade full Abdominoplasty, mastopexy with a reduction in the right breast and muscle plication. Although petrified, I made it through just fine. The first 3 days were horrific. The pain was horrible! I was only prescribed Percocet every 4 hours. Whatever you do... take them every 4 hours if that’s all you’re prescribed. It will seem like they are doing nothing but it does take the edge off. I had buyers remorse, almost cried a couple times and didn’t think it was worth it. Oh how that changes on day 4:) Amazing what a few hours can do. I felt completely different day 4(Friday). I was able to get myself up with no help. The pain subsided dramatically. By Friday I could shower comfortably and take small walks around the house without feeling winded. My appetite came back as well, although portions are small because of it he stomach being so tight. I’m not sure how happy I am yet. Lol. I am pleased but I’m a worrier. I do have some pretty large love handles on both sides of my tummy and my breast are touching when I stand up. I keep seeing where those things correct themselves so I’m staying optimistic for the best results possible. I will talk to my doctor about them when I do my next appointment. I haven’t slept the last couple nights mostly because of discomfort. My back is hurting worse than anything and I have a bit of a cough when I lay down. It hurts to cough so I wheeze a little and it’s kept me up. I’m over my fear of coughing now and have got the junk out and am sure I will sleep tonight. I rented a recliner and have found the couch with pillows is more comfortable to me. The chair killed my back and I can’t get out with out help. So far so good and compared to day One, I feel great. Haha.

Sounds like you are doing well so far. It gets better everyday!! I hope things settle like you want them but don’t worry too much right now!! you are way too early to know what everything will look like in the end. Things change so much so try to stay positive and i hope you continue to heal fabulously hun!!!

You look good! And yes about the back thing doesn’t it hurt to be hunched over, your chest looks nice and very up I am sure that it has somewhat lifted your confidence for your own self I’m happy for you and I think it takes months for our actual final result and I only say our” since we had surgery the same day

Sorry for slacking on replying. Thank you so much. Things are going great. I’m healing perfectly and improving greatly day by day. How is your healing going?? I am still swollen but not as bad. Starting to shake up a bit. :)
February 4, 2019
That’s good! My healing is going good I still walk around with a hunch back I am swollen and I would like to kick it up a bit too but I get dizzy when I’m up and down a lot so I feel restricted can you stand up straight yet?

I feel pretty good as far as getting around. I haven’t had any problems. I actually shopped all weekend. Lol. I feel like if I’m standing in place that sometimes I’m standing straight but once I start walking I realize that I’m still hunched over. My hips and back are still bothering me a lot. I did sleep in my bed last night for the first time but woke up pretty sore.

These are some other pics that I’ve noticed since being on here that a lot of people take. My tummy is unique. Lol. I don’t see very many like it. I feel like it would take a miracle but a good board Certified doctor is my next best haha.

It went well. The pain is a lot worse than I had anticipated. I’m having a hard time waking. Was it like that for you?! It’s tummy pain. My breast’s feel pretty ok.
January 23, 2019
Good luck tomorrow hun!!! I’ll be thinkin about you and check in when I can
January 23, 2019
Shoot, I misunderstood. I thought you were having your surgery tomorrow. Congratulations and welcome to the flat side!!!!! I did have trouble waking up the first time. I had chills and the shakes but I was ok after a little while. Happy healing sweetie. Hope everything goes perfect during recovery
January 23, 2019
Haha. It’s ok. I also had the chills and shakes really bad. That wet away pretty fast. Now I’m having a hard time getting up. Th pain is a lot worse than I had imagined.

The walking is very hard for me but it gets better everyday. I only have pain in my back when trying to walk. It’s tolerable I don’t take any pain meds anymore. It will get better as the day goes by.
January 24, 2019
melistia1, have you been keeping up with your pain meds. Taking them in time. That really helps for the first few days especially with getting up and down
January 24, 2019
Absolutely! They have been my saving grace this far. I walked to the bathroom myself this morning so that a good sign. Hopefully improvements. The pain is about the same though. Thank you so much!!!
