ORIGINAL POST

I've been browsing through this website for...

Jus418January 12, 2012

I've been browsing through this website for sometime and learning so much from all the girls here. I'm so grateful to them for sharing their experiences. I'm 41, mother of two awesome girls 21 and 15. My height is 5.0 and weight is 125lbs. All my weight gain is always in my mid-section.

After my first daughter I snapped back like spandex. For my second daughter I stood with a little more weight but I loved it. I grew up very very thin and always wanted to gain some weight. Then I went through Ovarian failure due to a microadenoma on my pituitary gland. That caused me to go into premature menopause and my hormones were all wacked out. That's when I started gaining all this weight around my mid section.

I tried dieting etc. I managed to loose weight but the belly was still there. I'm so tired of not finding clothes that fit well and being embarrased to undress infront of my hubby of 23 1/2 years. He's never made me feel unattractive but I always feel uncomfortable if he sees me unclothed. So here I am ready to start my journey, extremely excited yet nervous. I have a very supportive family so I'm pretty lucky.

After many months or researching and three consults later I decided to go with Dr. Yager. Not just him but his whole staff from the front desk girls to his assistants were all great. I felt very comfortable and I liked the vibe there. I have an appointment with my PS this saturday. I cried when I realized this is finally going to happen for ME!

Wowza, you're getting the whole package! Good for you! Will it all be done in one surgery?

Makes sure to ask your surgeon and research how you will rest after having both a TT and BBL? Do you lie on your side?

I can't wait to follow your journey. February 24th will be here before you know it!

Hi Angiemcc,
I'll be doing it in two seperate surgeries. February 24 he'll do the all the Lipo and bbl and in 3 to 6 months I'll be getting the TT and BA depending how fast I completly heal.

I did alot of research and even posted a question here and all the doctors that responded advised me to wait 3 to 6 months for the second surgery. I've waited so long for this so I'm super excited!

Okay, that's a relief. I didn't know how you were going to recover from all that at once! This is going to be quite a process, but the results will be incredible!

Hi Jusi418, which procedure are you doing first? I started a vitamin regime of Vitamin C, A, iron, K, Broemlin, Arnica two weeks before and continued after the surgery. If you are doing your breast first, be sure to get extra surgical bras and if you are doing the tummy first extra cg. You feeling is excitement. You will love your results. Dr. Yager really gives his patients one on one care. Keep us posted. You will be just fine. If you want you can ask them to suggest the anesthesiologist for you. The one that I had I requested him back for the second time around. I told him how I felt after the first surgery and if there was anything that he could do so that I would not have that groggy feeling of coming out of the anesthesia and he sure did do that because the second time around I felt much better.

I'm doing the Lipo and bbl first then the rest. You have no idea how greatful I am for your tips! Ever since talking to you I feel alot more confident and excited for my surgery! I will definitely keep in mind about the anesthesiologist and I'm going to buy the vitamins, Broemlina and arnica so that I can start them. As for the Cg where did you get yours from?
Thank you so much for your help!

Don't leave out your vitamin C either. I also drunk a lot of water with electrolytes to keep my body hydrated. Just be sure to get an extra post operative bra, since you are doing your lipo first you can just use what Yager gives to you, or get another one from him. I still use my 1st stage garment because it's really tight. Well good luck and I will keep you in my prayers. Im happy for you and you will love your results.

Is nice to have a surgery buddy! I hear you on the nervous excited feeling. This site has been awesome especially on what to more or less expect.
