39 Years Old, 3 Children (22, 19 and13) Mommy Makeover

Much need tummy tuck, breast lift with small implants. Looking forward to having a body that I'm not ashamed of. Can't wait to end the bad attitude towards clothes and uncomfortable and ill fitting under garments. Mommy makeover needed for lots of loose skin. After my initial consultation, I felt secure and confident with the doctor that I chose. I'm looking forward to being able to finally enjoy my body rather than hiding and resenting it. I can't wait to ditch the ugly, uncomfortable and sometimes painful under garments needed to disguise my flaws and insecurities.

I'm exhausted 100%. I thought I was tough, but I am a complete wimp. These last few days have been very uncomfortable and at times nauseatingly painful. I struggle with sitting still in general & I would say these procedures combined, have been very hard for me. My advise is to maintain your pain management to the tee & seriously rest. I was very relaxed the the first few days & I regret being too proud to say I was hurting. I'm finally settling down and so is my body. Learning to recognize what relax feels like and not to rush the healing process. Be prepared to ask for help. I thought I'd only need help for the first 1-2 days after surgery.... I was wrong! I still need lots of help and will continue to need help for several more days/weeks. On a positive note, I am starting to see changes that make me very happy with my future body. My breast are starting to settle into place and every day I feel a little closer to being able to stand up straight for a minute at a time. A walker is definitely something I'd suggest. I bought mine at a Goodwill for $5 and wiped it down with bleach & water a few days prior to my surgery. Also, a yoga ball is helpful when sitting in the shower (fits perfect between the walls of a tub), or just to take pressure off tailbone & hips from sitting in same positions.
