30 Yr Old Mother of 2, Ready to Be Made Over!

I am a 30 year old mother of 2 amazing children. After my first child everything basically went back to normal, with the exception of a tiny umbilical hernia showing up. After my second child, my breasts drooped significantly and now are saggy with almost no volume at all (thank God for good bras)! On top of the girls swinging low, I have some extra skin on my belly that just won't tighten back up, plus the umbilical hernia is larger than before so, 2 piece swimsuits, and crop tops with anything but high waisted jeans are completely out! I'm 5'9" about 140 lbs and in pretty good shape but I am ready to look better than ever before so I found a wonderful surgeon and i am finally getting my mommy makeover!!!! I struggled for years with being at peace with what my body has become and the opposite side of wanting it to look how i want it to look.....so, the decision is made...I will be doing a breast lift with implants, hernia repair and a mini tummy tuck. My PreOp appointment is this week and I have a list of questions for my Doc. My actual procedure is next week! I am nervous and excited and I want to share the journey with you all because other women and mothers sharing their stories has definitely helped me gather information to make an informed decision about my upcoming procedures. Check out the pics of what I'm currently working with as it will all be changing very soon.......

As I prepare my self to restore the damage caused by the awesome tiny humans who love me far less than I love them....clearly...... I've come up with a list of questions some gathered from other sources here, some from family, some from the googler and some from my crazy brain....so here they are in no particular order with no numbers but I hope you find them helpful!
PreOp Questions:
Should I wear a compression garment? What supplies/compression garments will I need post-op? Which of these do you provide?
Can compression garments raise my risk of necrosis?
What kinds of bandaids do I need to get before surgery?

What can I do to reduce swelling?
How long can I expect swelling and where will the swelling be?

Are the internal stitches dissolvable, if so how long do they last?...or are they permanent?

How can you make my waist as invisible as possible without liposuction or rib removal?...I'd like to keep my ribs, I hear that I need them.

How soon after surgery should I try to stand up straight?

How do you gauge how long to leave the drains in?

How long will i be in pain?
How long will i need the medication?
How long until I can laugh again?

When can I start driving again?

What are the risks and complications associated with my procedure?
How are complications handled?
What happens if I wake up during surgery?
What kind of anesthesia do you recommend for me?

How long until I can go braless....all the time?

How long until I can work 2 and 3 hour jobs on my feet?

When can I take my first post op shower?
What happens when I go pee an poop? Will I be able to wipe my butt? (This is a major concern for me folks.....I'm quite regular)

How long will the tummy tuck scar be?
Where will my scars be located?
What will my belly button look like after surgery?

What are my options if the cosmetic outcome of my surgery does not meet the goals we agreed on?

What will you expect of me to get the best results?

I hope these questions helped. My PreOp appointment is tomorrow so if you think of anything else please feel free to post it in a comment!

Sooooo I had my preop appointment last Thursday and now tomorrow is the big day!!!! I'm a ball of nerves, excited and anxious. Strangely, I feel almost guilty about removing the changes that my children gave my body. I think to myself, "am I really doing this?" And I quickly answer myself, "yes I am!!!" Here is a pic of the supplements I have been taking I'm preparation for my procedures... normally I take charcoal capsules very regularly as well as Chlorophyll, and a butt load of green tea, but the anesthesia nurse told me to stop taking those prior to surgery so it's been since last Thursday and I miss them so! Ah well.....it will be worth it.
