So I just booked my TT and Lipo (including inner and outer thighs) and paid the deposit. I cannot believe I am going through with this but I just want to be happy and content with what I see in the mirror.
I am 5'7", and usually float around 155-160 pounds. (After kids...before kids I was around 130-140). I had a hysterectomy to help my weird bleeding and periods last December, and have struggled to keep my weight at 168 now. I'm hoping the lipo takes care of what the hysterectomy did to my, and the TT will take care of the excess skin I have. My last two babies were C sections.
I am extremely nervous, more about the cost and the pain/recovery. I was told by Dr Weisberg I will have little to no pain because of his anesthia practices and no drains are necessary. He seemed pleasant, and to be honest my husband and I didn't want to price shop this. We are limited on choices of PS around here, and everything I've read about Dr Weisberg seems positive and wonderful experiences.
I am a long distance runner with a full marathon under my belt and three half marathons along with countless 5ks. I do crossfit 2-3 times per week. Never Rx the weights but I feel strong and my cardio is great. I hate looking at my body, knowing I'm in the best shape of my life but you can't tell from the outside.

One of my concerns is not being able to work out after! Has your doc told you how long it will be before you return to crossfit/running?

4 weeks running and 6 weeks minimum for Crossfit. I'm going to try my best to eat clean and maintain at least current weight while I am out and cut out my vices (wine) as much as I can during the recovery process.

I think you're being hard on yourself! I'd like to schedule a consult with Dr. Weisberg. What was your approximate wait time from your first point of contact to your surgery date? I'm excited for you. And equally nervous for myself!

I believe it was at least 5-6 weeks to get a consult and 4 weeks from consult to surgery date. I keep contemplating having my breasts lifted or implants but I am already a 34c or D. But I nursed for 52 months total!! And I'm thinking after my tummy is done I am going to want boobs to match. ;). Hope it goes well for you.

Wow! I hear ya! I nursed for nearly 40 months -- hard to imagine a whole year added to that! Thanks for your reply! Please share your post op pics when you're done!

I'm a distance runner, Olympic lifter and TRX fiend. I am 4 days post full Abdominalplasty. I'm excited for you, your surgery is tomorrow I think, from your post. I'm excited to get back to my fitness routine and start sculpting my sides and abs. Can't wait to see your progress!

Thank you shaylenecaffey! It is tomorrow and I'm anxious about getting into my routine. It makes me feel reassured that other athletes undergo this as well. I skied this weekend and I'm less than 20 hours out not.
Very exciting, looking forward to seeing your results. Are you getting everything ready for your recovery process?
