Hi kimmers25,

I have everything ready to go. My husband and kids are ready to do what it takes. I can't believe by end of day Thursday I'll be on the flat side. I've waited years for this and have decided to finally moved forward now that I'm done with having children. I'm super excited.

Hi everyone,

I'm so excited....just 3 short days until my TT, and liposuction to my flanks, inner thighs, and lower back. I can't wait for the day that I can wear a fitted shirt and not feel like everyone is starring at my mid section and love handles. I also can't wait to have sex with my husband with the lights on...oh what fun it will be.

1 Day Post Op...tummy Tuck W/ Lipo to Flanks and Inner Thighs

So yesterday was my surgery. Everything went extremely well. I woke up with minimal pain. My family was shocked by how well things went. Then it happened...by midday today pain started. The liposuction hurts more than anything else. I had my muscles done as well and it feels like I've done 10 days of straight planking. My lipo holes...feel like bullet shot wounds although I don't know how that feels. I can only imagine. I have been tolerating the pain with the pain meds prescribed by my PS. I also had the experal injection. I can only imagine how it would feel hadn't I not gotten the shots ????. I going to be brave and post a pre-op photo. I was afraid and ashamed to post pictures prior to surgery but since I no longer look that way I'll update you guys. I will update more photos tomorrow. Until then happy reading.

Congrats on your journey. How much did the procedure cost

Hi Mrs TJ,

I had liposuction done in two area and the tummy tuck. I also added the extended pain medication that's injected during surgery to minimize the pain associated with the muscle repair. Altogether I paid approximately 10,500. It's a lot of money but well worth it. My confidence level is through the roof. Keep me posted on your journey. I don't mind sharing my experience with you. Take care!
