I'm nervous as I'm posting this, my surgery is next week. I'm having a breast lift, lipo w/ tummy tuck and fat transfer to the gluteal area. I'm excited and nervous, as the time is winding down I find it harder to sleep or focus on anything else. My surgeon was rated top Dr in Delaware last year so that gives me comfort.

I am having surgery next week also!! On Tuesday the 22nd. I am feeling the same way!!! I am having breast implant removal and reduction, TT, fat transfer to Butt! Can't wait!! What day is your surgery?

My surgery was 2/25, it's very exciting but also very emotional. Please make sure you have a good support system. You will do great, just listen to your drs. My tummy tuck is coming along. I had alot of swelling so I had issues with my incision that's whyour I haven't posted those pics yet. I don't want to determine anyone from this. It's the best thing I could have done.

@@@ sorry didn't want to deter anyone from their decision to have this procedure. It's well worth it

The incision didn't heal right due to the swelling? I have a very supportive husband. He is taking a week off to stay with me. You did the fat transfer into your behind also? How was that healing with the front of the body at the same time?

My surgeon was very thorough so when he went in he saw other areas that needed to be liposuctioned so he went ahead and did it. That caused alot of swelling. Thank God for my husband and son because they have been waiting on me hand and foot so please accept the help. Yes he did the fat transfer and I can definitely see my shape coming in. I'm sure your Dr will tell you to sleep on your sides. My husband had gotten wedges and they were a huge help for sleeping. I will be honest it's very uncomfortable but my Dr made sure my pain meds and antibiotics were ready before hand. I don't regret a thing. Make sure you have positive people around because can get mentally draining. I'll definitely be posting more pics as the incision closes.

I'm so excited for you. It was the best decision I've ever made. You'll be fine. Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way for a speedy recovery. It's really excited when you see your curves coming in.

Praying for you today. I am doing about the same in 6 more days. Can't wait to see how great you look in the after.... just remember it takes a few months for all the swelling and ugly to go away... be patient.

Thank you Jackiesmiles, the first two days were uncomfortable but bearable. He actually did more work when he went in, he liposuctioned fat near the pubic area. I think the drains are the most uncomfortable. I have my next appt on Tuesday. If it weren't for my husbandsurgery help it would definitely be harder. Definitely worth it. Pics to come. I'll be praying for you. You'll do fine!
February 28, 2016

Please stay away from negative people. My husband has been waiting on me hand and foot, I will admit the drains have been my biggest issue. It seems as if it seeping out. Other than that I have been taking the pain meds every 4-5hrs. I'm trying to ween myself off slowly. I understand now why they say not to get too many procedures at once. I got the breast augmentation, lipo/tummy and butt lift but he removed some lipo from my pubic area. I haven't had any major swelling, prior to surgery my Dr gave me arnica and bromelet Inez for swelling and it seems to be helping. Will update I'm a few more minutes.

Glad to hear you have good support from your hubby, unfortunately mine has been a jerk about it he won't even take me to the clinic let aline take care of me. Either way I am doing this with or without him.
Stay calm and just breath, everything will be ok. Â You are feeling the pre surgery jitters that we all feel the week before. Â Make sure to take the before pictures so that you can compare after surgery. Â Do you have all of your recovery items ready to go?
Make sure to have a supply of healthy foods on hand. Â Stay with fresh fruits and veggies as well as lean proteins. Â Try to avoid anything high in sodium and processed. Â You are then ready to go. Â Happy thoughts girlie:)
Glad to have you here with us.
