In Search of a Mommy Makeover in New England. New Hampshire, NH

Hi all,

So surgery was completed yesterday. I will back track a little. Pre op appointment was via phone. Basic info like what to wear etc.
I arrived at the facility. They took me back did vitals, asked a bunch of questions. Started an iv. Did all the markings. Then I was off.
I woke up about 2 hours after. I really had no sense of time. They let me try to pee. The doctor stated binder only until tuesday then full compression garment.
I really had no pain. When I got home I took a pain pill went pee finally. I am very lucky to have my aunt taking care of me. She has an adjustable bed and I don't think I could of used just pillows. Recommendation get a hospital bed for 2 weeks. I also put two pillows under my legs. The doc said I need to walk bent over always and in a sitting position while in bed. I had inner thigh lipo and honestly this is the most painful last night. Felt like a constant cramp. My aunt said I have huge bruises I can not see. She checked my incision every two hours. It looks so awesome!! Instant results. Granted it is not flat yet and looks yucky looking. Now at about 130am. I started to get feeling back. My incision is starting to hurt. I am itchy and I have prickly feeling my nerves are waking up. I am taking my pain pills on a schedule. Drinking a ton of water. I AM SO SWOLLEN I feel like a grape ready to pop lol. I can get out of bed on my own carefully. I can not get in by myself. Also I got a walker so I could lean on it to walk A MUST HAVE! Overall I am doing better then I expected. I was a little sad I could not do my breast as well with this surgery but now I am thankful I didn't! Honestly not having arms to push off things because my breasts hurts and are swollen would have been terrible.
Follow appointment on Tuesday next week. I hope I continue with this progress. I will post some before photos later today. And after once I can stand straight.
Thanks

So after one hundred calls. The OR at the hospital was booked until June 29th and because of my brief time to get my surgeries completed I decided change my surgical plan.
Surgery one is Scheduled for June 6th! I will have a full tummy tuck with flank and inner thigh lipo
Then 6 to 8 weeks later breast lift with 600cc implants.
It was not my ideal plan but in the end I will have all of my surgeries that I wanted. I paid for the first surgery it was 12,011. I have not received the second surgery quote but I believe it will be another 7,000.
I have been prepping. My aunt will be helping me. I will rent a chair for the time need because I don't think I will be able to climb the stairs to bed. My husband is on board but I think he is very nervous. He tells me that he loves me for me and the surgery should be totally for me not him or anyone else. And this surgery is for me. I have worked so hard and I want the body that I have earned. I am nervous I constantly think what if the scar is huge and ugly what if my decision for the lift and implants together instead of separate is not a good idea and the girls are still saggy. I am spending a lot of money for this surgery and that scares me I am so responsible with money that spending this money on an elective surgery. But this is for me and I refuse to feel guilty about the choice. Again I have earned it. I am not a sitter I have to be moving! So recovery will be difficult but I will do everything to ensure my result is awesome. I'll update again once I have my pre op appointment.

After many consults. I decided to go with Dr. Heidi Harrington. I wanted to do all the procedures together but the next available hospital OR date was June 29th. I did not want to wait that long. Because of that reason I will be doing two surgeries. The Dr is on vacation now. So I am waiting to hear what she recommends on timing and which order the procedures can or should be done in. The next available date in her surgery center is May 26th. That would be awesome.
I'll keep you all updated.
