After 12 Years I Am Finally Taking the Plunge! - Pinehurst, NC

10 days post

It's been a long 8 days!

WORTH IT$8,395
I am now 8 days post open. My surgery was changed from the 27th to the 29th due to a mix up with the anesthesiologist. I'll say that this recovery has been more difficult than I anticipated! I spent the majority of the past 7 days camped out on my recliner sleeping. Yesterday at my post open my Dr said that I'm doing well. I'm majorly swollen but I can see a huge improvement. My plastic surgeon and his staff were phenomenal! I'll do a full review later. I'm attaching some pictures and I look forward to healing and improving everyday.
Happy healing!

Made it to the FLAT SIDE!

My surgery was the 29th instead of the 27th. I'm bandaged tightly so I haven't had a chance to see my tummy. I'm able to get around fairly well and my pain is maybe a 4-5. I'll post pictures as soon as I have some!

TT in minus 24 hours!

I am officially less than 24 hours away from "the flat side". It seems as though I just started this process when in reality I have been planning to have this done for over 12 years. I have had a difficult time sleeping this weekend due to all of the thoughts running thru my mind. I am inspired by reading stories and watching the amazing transformation of the sisters on this site. I pray for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. I will keep you guys posted, see ya on the FLAT SIDE!

I had surgery on the 29th and it went pretty good. The pain is probably 4-5 out of 10. I'm taking meds that have left me kind of loopy
