32 Yrs Old, 4 Kids Later. Mommy Makeover Needed to Look Like Myself Again - Scottsdale, AZ

I’ll post pictures later today but I think I look great! I love love love Dr. Guerra! He seriously is the best! I may have told him I love him while under the influence of heavy drugs lol. Only problem is I still can’t stand straight up and its getting annoying. My back hurts from hunching over when I walk. Went to my 2nd Post Op appointment and he took me off the muscle relaxers because I was having blurry vision and am out of Pain Meds which is fine because I don’t feel physical pain just soreness and like I took a good beating. I take Ibuprofen to minimize the aches but it seems like I’m having withdrawals from the Pain Meds, I feel antsy, getting chills and feel depressed. I just want to be my old self again and have my energy back. Also having trouble sleeping comfortably. Don’t know what i would do without my recliner.

Sorry I haven’t posted, I’ve been wanting to post but I physically couldn’t. Don’t remember much of the last few days I have been so drugged up and my kids can’t get enough of it, apparently it’s funny that I fall asleep with a water bottle in my mouth lol. First let me tell you about THE day. I was so nervous and scared of the surgery itself. I was scheduled for surgery at 7:30, I arrived at 6:30. A nurse took me to a room, checked my vitals , made me pee in a cup and I changed into a hospital gown. The anesthesiologist came in asked me a couple of questions and since I had used my inhaler that morning made me do a breathing treatment first. When that was over, Dr. Guerra came in and explained exactly what he planned to do. He remembered everything that we had talked about in our first appointment which was great. He marked and measured all the areas that would be altered during surgery. At that point excitement started overcoming my feeling scared. When Dr was done a nurse came in and walked my husband to the waiting room and me to the OR. I was so nervous I was shaking. Nurse told me to lay down and the anesthesiologist put an IV in. At that moment all I could think about were my husband, children and praying that God be in control. Then……NOTHING. All I remember is waking up in the room I would be staying the night in and being so cold I was trembling and using all my stomach muscles and was in so much pain there. It took them a while to be able to get my pain under control. I was out pretty much all day, did nothing but sleep, wake up, eat a cracker for more pain pills and sleep again. I had a fever on the 2nd night and it was high and I called Dr. Guerra in the morning and he gave me instructions and prescribed me some Tylenol w/ Codeine because I was almost out of my pain pills. Later that morning my fever went away and has not come back. Tomorrow I have my first Post OP appointment.

Got to see myself with out all the garments because i was given a sponge bath and so far I’m so happy with the results. Although, my pubic area is way swollen, it freaked out my husband but I’m pretty sure it’s normal for now. Will update again tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the big day, and I am terrified. Hope and pray all goes well. Finally posting my before pictures.
