Tomorrow is 5 weeks post op! I saw my PS Friday and it went very well! I love him and his staff so much! They are beyond amazing! He said all looks good and and gave the green light to start working out. He said cardio, modified crunches, and weights all ok:-) I'm feeling great and no pain or issues. I get some swelling by the end of the day but nothing too bad. Hope everyone is doing well! Xo

32DDD???
I picked up a few bras at VS today. I measured 32D but the cup was too small. Ended up getting 32DDD. The 34DD worked too. I have no idea how that's possible? I got 275cc and my boobs don't look huge. I was pretty excited! Lol My stomach is still swollen but feels good. Hope everyone is doing well! Xo

3 weeks!
Hi ladies! I hope u r all doing well! It's been a while since I've been on realself. Been dealing w family drama all due to my surgery. My in laws don't agree w my decision to have the surgery and it has caused a huge problem. As much as I don't want it to, it has replaced my excitement w guilt and sadness. My husband has been great through all of this but he's very close w his family so I know it's been tough for him.
What's funny is the recovery has been great. Who would have thought a mommy makeover would be easier than dealing w family? lol I have lots of swelling in my abdomen but I expected that. Hoping it gets better soon. I have puckering by my incision too but thinking with time everything will look better. It's such an amazing improvement from where I started. My boobs have given me no issues at all. They r so cute and perky lol. I'll post some belly pics. Took a close up of my stretch marks under my belly button. I really hope when the swelling goes down everything will smooth out nicely. Thank u for the support and happy healing! Xo

Aw, I'm sorry you're having a hard time with your in-laws. It's really none of their business what you do or how you guys spend your money. It's a shame they can't keep their opinions to themselves, but you look amazing so stuff em! Your hubby likes your new look and that's all that matters. Yay, for healing so well, just don't go overboard with the cleaning or bedroom exercises! ;-) Chin up hun, you did what was best for you AND your family as the happier you are, the happier they'll all be and you deserve to be happy, just remember that if you feel sad. Hugs x

It's a combination of things. It's started as "why would u spend so much money on something that no one sees" then turned into "it's selfish and vain to spend that much money just to walk around with a flat belly and perky boobs"...I understand if they don't agree but they didn't call or check in once to see if I was ok or to help w the kids (their grandchildren). It has been so hurtful! Maybe this is tmi but my children have everything they want. We usually go away a couple times a year and we skipped a big vacation. I'll admit I feel bad but the kids don't seem to have noticed. I've been miserable looking at my belly for 13 years and was able to do something about it and now it's caused such issues. Ugh!

I've also discovered swell hell, good gracious I'm bigger than I was before the op, my midsection is huge, wow, people weren't kidding about that at all! Good to hear that yours isn't so bad, gives me hope. Take care of yourself [RS bleep]
How are you feeling? It seems like you had a very easy recovery, which is fantastic!
I go back to see our favorite PS on 11/8 for my 1 year post-op and who knows what else?!? LOL
