37 year old mom to twins. Tummy tuck, lipo of flanks and breast reduction.

I've had large breast my whole life. They always gave me unwanted attention and just got in the way. As the years progressed they began to become a pain in my neck and back literally. I could not excersise as I wanted due to the neck and back pain. After going to the doctor for the umpteenth time I got fed up and sought out a surgeon. I decided to see if my insurance would cover the reduction. They did!! So with the funds I had saved up I got a tummy tuck and lipo too.

I never got around to posting before pics. Thought I'd do that today as well as give an update. I'm 7 days post op today. Yesterday was my best day so far but today I've felt very tired and I woke up several times last night feeling very sore. I had an appt with my PS yesterday for a check up and to see if I can have my last drain removed. I had 4 to begin with. I left with a few less stitches but still had my drain. It's still producing too much fluid to have it removed. PS said that's fine and it'd probably do that since I was moving around more. I'm healing well. The breast reduction has not been my main source of pain it has been my lipo and tummy tuck. Though I did discover that my garment was causing me a lot of pain as it had clips and zippers on it hitting in my most sensitive spots. I got the ok to switch garments and have felt so much better. I hope everyone else is recovering nicely.

I still have that blasted drain. I saw my Doctor yesterday everything looks fine. I have a bit redness on my tummy tuck incision right above my pubic area. She said to watch it. It's very numb there and my compression garment rubs it I think. I started placing a piece of gauze there. Hopefully that helps. I'm able to drive now and have been able to drop off and pick up my kids from school. I am sore both my abs area and my breasts. They both feel like I did an intense workout. I will admit that I am having adjustment issues with my new breast size. With just my bra on I think they look great, butcwhenbiboyf on clothes I sometimes think they look too small. I try to keep in mind that all my shirts are a size too big now and that is what's making me feel that way. I hated my huge breasts. How they made me feel in clothing and out. How heavy they were and how they were hurting my body. I needed the redection. I wanted the
reduction. My mind just needs to catch up with my body.

I tried to post pre-op pictures on my last update. I don't know where they went. I'm trying again here.
