I had tried everything to lose weight . Short of starvation. I never thought I would care about plastics surgery, but the opportunity came up and I went for it. My surgeon is amazing, I am so happy and excited to feel good about myself again. I am 2 days post op, the drugs are helping a lot. The experience so far has been great. I am in some pain, but staying on top of meds, is helping. I am so happy and excited. I got 375cc under muscle silicone, full TT, liposuction on my muffin top. Will post more when can. Drains are not bad at all, don't really notice. I am loopy but could not be more happy. My husband is being great, stayed one night in hospital , now home. Really just been drinking mainly meal replacements now, nervous about not having bm or gas yet.

Thanks for sharing your story. I think it's pretty common to be constipated after this surgery. Drink lots of water and get some good rest. Please keep us updated, we'll be thinking of you!

Doing well. A little more pain ten the last few days, but so so so happy I did this. My husband is awesome,taking care of everything. I am not draining much at all. I think this is the best things could have done for myself. I am super sore, but like a hard work out, nothing out of control. It is annoying to walk around bent over, but it will past. I have the best doctor. I am tryin to get up and move around a little, but taking it slow. My boobs don't hurt at all, just sore. Prefect size for me.

Things are going better then I expected. It's hard to get used to seeing the scars, but even with the swelling and new wound look, it's awesome. I am starting to already back down on the pain meds too. I am very happy I did this, all over the place with moods. My boobs are not really hurting at all anymore, just my stomach is weak and feels like I did 4000 sit-ups.
