27 Year Old That Finally Took the Plunge! I Have Been Waiting Many Years - Prague

I am certainly no stranger to this site or to cosmetic surgery. Back in 2012 I have Lipo to my upper tummy and a breast uplift. This was a result of losing nearly 9st or 57kg. I held back from a tummy tuck as I believed diet and exercise would help, clearly it made some improvement but not enough. It's funny because my surgeon back in 2012 said I will be seeing you again for a tummy tuck as no getting rid of what you have lol, guess she's right.

It took me till now to decide over the scar and the fact I don't have any kids yet. However, I am so happy with the rest of my body and been blessed that my weight loss has effected anywhere else this is not the case for my tummy. I hate wearing bikinis, tight dresses and normal things girls my age do. I also model and 2016 is a big year for shoots so I decided a scar is a little price to pay for happiness.

I normally start my journey with you ladies way before my hospital bed, however the first time I went to get my breast uplifted they cancelled my surgery due to my bloods. Therefore I was a tad superstitious of posting. Wanted to make sure everything was okay - phew it was!

So yet again I travelled from Ireland too Prague for my surgery to Dr Vera Satankova. The prices in Prague are much better but I love my doctors work plus I am a fan of how there treat you as a patient.

I arrived on the 8th and checked into my hotel and roamed around Prague, even had a cheeky hooters! Yummy! On the 9th I had my pre ops. There very strict here and do not want you on any antibiotics a month poor to surgery. So here's the fun and games. I developed a UTI 2 weeks ago, normally 3 day course of antibiotics abd cleared. Only this time no. I knew if it should in my pre ops surgery would be cancelled. So day before I drank about 5 litres of water n took a nice clean urine sample with me and I didn't take antibiotics the day before hoping they wouldn't show in my blood. Lucky for me no urine was tested and my bloods came back perfect. They noticed my heart murmur which I have had since I was born. Never been an issue but they still sent me to a specialist too get checked, ultrasound came back clear.
Met with my surgeon that day, she marked me up, explained I didn't need liposuction, phew, I also due to having no kids if she would hold off on sticking my muscles as I exercise a lot. She told me when she opens me abd peels it back she will take a look - so I still don't know if she has or not.

The night before surgery I took some pics, washed my hair, had a shower and shaved! I barely slept that night. Arrived too the clinic the next morning where I waited 2 hours for my ultrasound. Then was brought to my room to changed into a fab gown and sexy stockings. As normal they had to have two attempts at inserting the needle for the IV. They wheeled in a girl about an hour later to my room. She was still out of it and in lots of pain - really didn't need to see that. Then a 3rd girl joined, they are Dutch and the three of us are young and blonde! Trying to communicate is fun :)
So 3.30pm they come in and give me my Anticlothing injection and a nice big shot of morphine into the butt. They let that take effect n was wheeled down near 4pm. I was put into a room next to the operating room where I could see my surgeon finishing with a surgery! Thank god l don't not have a weak stomach! I chatted to her when she popped out and asked would she take a pic of the skin she removed. So hopefully she does! I wanna see it. They then brought me in. Set me up and put straps on me, they said your going to sleep now. I was like no sure you ain't given me anything, my last words were please ask Dr Vera to make me look beautiful! They insert it via the IV so you don't even notice.

I woke up at 6.30pm in intensive care and I never in my life have experienced pain like it. I have pins and plates in my ankle and removed appendix and breast uplift Ect but this was something else. I asked for pain relief right away. My throat was killing me from the air vent thing and I needed to cough! Worst mistake ever! Where did this pain come from. I fell back asleep and woke up in the room. The two girls welcomed me back. Since then I have been 100% alert, talking to the phone texting. Didn't fall back asleep at all. They wheeled the other girl too surgery. The nurses came in about 11pm and I asked for some water, some pain relief and to go too the toilet. The pain in having to lift myself up to go to the toilet was bad but getting myself back on the bed after was something I have never experienced. I have a high pain threshold, very high. The pain relief they gave me last night was very mild and it's near 8am and not asked for anything in between.

The only way I can explain my tummy is that it's so tight. It feels like a elephant is sitting on it and all night I have a burning sensation across where my incision is. Also had a few pins and needles. The pain relief makes not much difference to these feelings.
My bf and friends couldn't believe how well I was on the phone and the same with the nurses here, I came on my own, scary and brave I know.

What I have noticed is how general anastethic can effect everyone. The first girl in our room yesterday was in lots of pain and she literally has slept from 1.30pm yesterday and is still across from my sleeping non stop. The other girl got wheeled in last night at 12pm roaring with pain, she has been roaring a lot of the night and getting sick so nurses have been into her. Me on the other hand has been awake, chatting, catching up on things, had some tea this morning and currently eating breakfast while the other two are still past out.

I still have had no pain relief. Only an antibiotic, used to toilet on my own this morning and was a big improving from yesterday. The tightness is still there but not as severe and the same with the burning.

To prep for surgery all I have done is stay off alcohol for nearly a week, took Vit c and arnica capsules a week before. I also have Sineach which I was meant to take pre op and post opp last night but nurse said not until I speak to the doctor.

I will upload some pics soon and keep you updated along the way.

Thanks [RS bleep]

I forgot to say that I am 5"8 and I weight around 69kg. I am going to upload some photos of before now. I am marked up for surgery in these too.

So sleeping last night didn't really happen. I was sharing the room with two other girls and one was in a lot of pain and was very ill all night. I have been up since 5.30am and have been drinking tea and are my breakfast. I made it up to the toilet myself too. The surgeon came to visit and told me she removed 33cm in length of skin as in vertically! I am shocked and so was she! She said when she pulled it down it was mid way down to my thigh! She has some pictures which she will give me in a few days so I can show you all. She removed 3lbs of skin in total. She also stitched my muscles, I was hoping that she wouldn't have too but she did. So she then decided to take a look! I got to see my new tummy! Ladies oh my god I am in love, I cried tears of joy! I couldn't believe it was mine nor could I believe I could see my belly button. She cleaned out the belly button which wasn't a pleasent experience and she removed a drain. I have been taking my antibiotics and took one pain med today. The burning sensation isn't as bad today but it's still really tight. I have been eating okay and went to the toilet alone a second time today. My butt is getting numb staying in the same position though and it's starting to frustrate me. I know it will be like this for a while though. I still have one drain in and I have been moved too a room with a British lady so can have some conversation.
