I have 3 children, my 1st child was nearly 9lbs and my 2nd pregnancy was twins. My stomach was stretched by both. I breast fed so my breast sag as well. I have lost weight in the past and my flabby stomach doesn't go away. I can't wait wait to duty the spanx, waist trainer and control top tights! Just over 2 weeks to go... I'll post pics before my surgery!

It's done

So I'm on my 2nd day post op. My doctor and team were amazing I stayed in the hospital for 1 day. Dr. Thornton removed 6 liters of fat so I have to drink a gallon of water a day to replenish. I could not do
This without the support of my boyfriend he has turned into my personal nurse. My breasts feel fine, my tummy tuck incision is sensitive but not too painful. The binder makes it a hard to move. I also had partial fat transfer to my butt. So that's sore to in a couple spots. Hands down the lipo areas are the most painful spots. I'll post pics on Monday after my post op appointment with my PS.

I am scheduled for a mommy makeover and lipo of flanks on 3/9. I'm most worried about the TT incision! But you note the lipo spot hurts more? Where was your lipo? Btw - congrats on crossing to the flat side!

My doctor placed a pain pump in the area of the tummy tuck which numbs my nerves so I'm not sure if that's why the pain is reduced there. I had lipo of the flanks, upper thigh, and back. So perhaps it was the amount I had but it makes it difficult to turn. But it's definitely the most painful part. Today is better then yesterday though so I believe it's well worth it.

So glad you are feeling better every day!! I am rooting for all of these lovely ladies who choose to share stories. And I'm so rooting for you! Thank you for sharing your journey! I'm doing lipo on flanks and upper back so I am hopeful it will be ok (or good in a short period of time). Happy healing!
