25 Yr Old 2 Heavy Pregnancy Ready for a New Body! - Palm Desert, CA

I think it looks much better than last time. It looks a tad longer, but maybe that's what I needed the first time.

Just looked at your recent pic posts..big difference- much much better-
you have gone through so much- please be kind to yourself and patient....
hydrate, walk, rest, nap and stay positive- by Christmas you will be the Belle of the Ball!

Ty! I've had a busy few weeks but I'll post some pics in the morning

how are you feeling? just was thinking of you :-)

Ty!

Thank you. I will post some more pics when the swelling goes down a bit more.

So much easier. I'm still slightly brused and swollen but, I look so much better. I look so much smaller too it's nice, I looked so bloated before. I will post some pics soon. Tomorrow is two weeks already.

Ty! I'm so happy I'm almost done healing finally!!

Trust me we all hate posting those first pics! But just remember where you started and what you are going to look like soon :). Ugh drains are hell! They suck, just be super careful with them and take it easy.

This time I babied my drains, I didn't do anything until I got them out!

I found out they are putting the pain pump tubes in with my drains WTF?! Ouch! Oh well, thank goodness for Percocet and Flexeril! I'm so afraid I'm gonna catch those drain stitches on something and yank them out. When I had my gastric bypass surgery, it was done laparoscopically so I didn't need drains. Very easy surgery to deal with for the most part.

I hope I can handle having both of these surgeries at the same time. All of a sudden I'm feeling pretty wimpy. LOL! :- (

I didn't catch mine on anything but I did "jam"my left one which lead to the big ordeal of the hole i had. I got in and out of the car to much and just jammed it down more than it should have gone. Gl! I'm sure you will do just fine. I didn't take a shower for like a week because they were such a pain in the butt. I didn't have the pain pumps so I have no info about those.

:) thanks! I know I went crazy the 2 weeks before my first surgery and all this last week. You know it hurts and it sucks really bad, but it's doable you will live. Remember your meds, take them don't try to be superman. Also don't think that because you feel a tad bit better you that you can go back to normal. Take your time slow down don't rush and relax!!! I heard the pain pump is amazing! The worst part for me was the tighting of the mussels. Everything else the b.a. the lipo weren't that bad at all. You will do great good luck!

It's funny, I have a fairly high tolerance to pain but for some reason, these surgeries are totally wiggin me out and I'm scared. I'm doing a BA/BL/TT. I'm soooooo afraid of my sutures opening up and having to deal with that. I know I just need to slow down mentally and regroup and take things one day at a time. If I have complications, I deal with it. Look how much you've gone through and your hanging in there! I know I'm not alone and it's comfortin. I love this site

Your not alone! We all have had hiccups some like me more than others. I sneezed a week ago and heard a loud poped and freaked out!! I went to my ps and he said it's just some hard scar tissue, you have no bruising or swelling you are fine... in my head I was like of this is something else I'm going to ask for my dam money back and rip out my structure haha.

Pop*if*

OMG, you poor thing! But you have gone through too much already so I don't blame you for feeling that way, geeze!

I know, it's just been a rough 3 months. Honestly I get super jelaous that there are woman that are double my age that are running around doing their normal life's and Im still stuck like this. At least I don't have a hole anymore!!

I know, it's got to be VERY TOUGH on you and the family. Thank goodness your
on the mend now! Your heading in the healed direction and now you can truly enjoy your new self!

So, I got to see myself today. It looks great already!! Even with the swelling. He asked me if I minded the scar being a bit higher, and I said no I just want it to look the best it can look. It's slightly higher on my hips but it's super thin. I'm not afraid If someone asks me did you have a tummy tuck...yeah I did so lol I busted my ass and lost 100 pounds after my first pregnancy and 60 after my second!! I still don't think you would see it in a bikini but maybe a smaller one you would.

Honey after all the hardass work you have done and all that you've gone through, you be proud of those scars! There is so much that can be done with scars anyway. Who the [RS bleep] cares if you had a TT? That is your business and it is up to you if you want to say anything or not. If it were me, I'd brag my head off!

That's how I feel when the doctor said they maybe raised a little bit I was like I'll just say it's my c section scars lol

Ty!

Thanks for checking up on me! I'm doing great of course I'm sore but I'm moving around great, and finally healing the right way Thank god. I haven't taken off my garment all the way yet, but when I do I will update with some pics.
