WORTH IT
Super excited but really stressed out the night before surgery 12/1/21. I'm sure this all normal but ughhh. My minds racing thinking about going under and worrying about my kids. Any ways, my mom got sick so my hubby is going to take care of me post op... ahh. Pray for me y'all! I'll be posting before pics and a little about me soon.

Good morning beauties! I'm on day 3 post op and feeling super sexy. I was able to shower today and I love how I'm looking so far. I would definitely say it's more discomfort not painful. I've been sleeping in the recliner after a miserable attempt to lay in bed. ( Yes, even with wedge pillow, mounds of pillows and so on. Lol) As I mentioned before my hubby ended up being my caretaker and he is doing an awesome job. I'm so grateful that he stepped up. Anyways, let me know if you have any questions I would love to share my experiences.

We are surgery sisters. I had mine 12/3. MMO with thigh lipo added. Husband is taking care of our kids and me too. It actually hasn’t been painful really, a couple burning moments with some movements from time to time that feel like the stitches inside but I am so bruised to the lipo areas. I showered quickly yesterday not getting my tapes wet but I was too nervous to look at my body. Going to shower again tomorrow. I didn’t wash my hair the first shower as I didn’t want to move my arms that much. Then pre op Wednesday. I’m hoping they remove my drain on Wednesday, I only had one placed.

I wish I would have gotten thigh lipo! I'm like damn now my arms and legs need to match the rest of my body. Need to get back to the gym once cleared and work it out for that summer body! Lol I'm glad you've had minimal pain! Yay. I got one drain out Monday and I go back Thursday to hopefully get the second one out. And ahhh showering isn't me time. lol wish I could take a bath. Haha

I put a stool in the shower and just sit there. My drain came out today so now I’m fully in my faja instead of a binder. I’d definitely recommend the thigh lipo. My dr was great, I didn’t have traditional areas done, and he assured me he could do it and day of when marking me up he asked me everywhere I wanted him to get and then after he marked me let me take another look and marked up a few more small parts that were not in the circles. I did the outter and almost behind of my legs but not directly below my butt because I like my hip curves. And then I did my inner knees so my legs taper smaller since I’m 5’2 and it makes my legs look bigger at my knees because I’m short. I also asked him to lipo the fat pocket right at the arm and breast that bulges over in shirts and he was all about me just telling him what I wanted and he could make it happen, no extra charge. Good luck with your second drain, I’m so happy to be free. I’m more worried about the hole closing. I didn’t even look at it yet. They pulled it out and put gauze on it and I have not taken it off yet. Isn’t it exciting to think that we can feel confident in a swimsuit by summer!?!?!

I'm so glad you had an awesome doctor it's makes the world of difference when they actually care what YOU want. I wish I would have got some lipo in my legs for sure but trying to see what I can do myself before going back. I just order a facia blaster so we'll see how that work along with the gym. And Omgoshhhh I can't wait for the summer. HOT GIRLS SUMMMMERRRRR. For real tho. Lol

Did you get implants as well, what size did you go from to? You look great!
December 19, 2021
Yes I did. I had a breast lift with implants. 450cc. Before I was a 38c but it was just mush in a bra. Lol. Now I'm around 36 dd I think. I haven't tried a real bra on yet. Thanks love!

You look wonderful! It would be so helpful if you could include the cost. That can help us in knowing what to expect. Thank you!

You look so freaking good! Your boobs look great and I’m OBSESSED! I have a TT scheduled for next month as a 40th bday present to myself. I keep going back and forth on wether or not to add a BA. How did you pick you shape and size? Would you have gone bigger or smaller? How did it affect your personal life and wardrobe. Thanks and hope everything is still great!
