WORTH IT$7,100
Scheduled tomorrow 3/28/2012 for tummy tuck with Lipo of flanks, inner and lateral thighs. I am 5'2 135lbs, mother of 3, including twins. I have debated over surgery for a few years and decided to move forward. My Abd has always been on the thin side (pre-babies), bounced back after my daughter but not so much after my twins. My thighs have always bothered me. Being short, the fat just seems to settle in my thighs. I am really nervous about this but excited at the same time. I hate the thought of being out of commission for so long and not being able to care for my kids and house but I know it will be short term and worth the hopefully long term improvement of my figure.

PO day #2. Still very sore. Not sure which is worse, my belly or thighs. Rolling walker has been very helpful. I guess the burning in the belly is normal from reading a lot of other reviews. But ouchy! I am looking forward to being able to get around better!

Your welcome. how are you feeling today? Everyday you will be feeling better and better. It has been a week and 2 days for me and I am feeling pretty good I do get wore out fast. I have been out shopping already. It felt good to get out of the house.

Was having a lot of pain, stiffness and difficulty this AM but seems to be getting a little better. Sounds like you are doing great. Gives me something to look forward to.

Congrats on doing this for yourself! Yes, you will be out of commission for a while, but in the whole scheme of life, it won't be too long at all! Also doing something nice for yourself that will make you happy & feel & look good is so worth it. Be sure to take the help you need & don't feel bad or guilty because you take care of everyone all the time - it is your turn!! Keep us posted on your recovery!

Postop day 5. The pain is subsiding. Have not needed meds since last night. Feeling very stiff in my legs and back. It is a challenge to stand up and I can't figure out how I will ever stand up straight again. Trying to get in pleanty of protein but have very little appetite. My drains are draining very little but there is a lot of drainage from the drain sites. Has anyone else had this problem? Good news is that my belly is really flat and my thighs are quite smaller, even with all the swelling. I am sad that I will be missing my kids Easter program at church.
