My original goal was to just get rid of the "after-babies" tummy. Along with that I have decided to also lift my breast just to get my pre-baby shape back and from there I can get back to working out and losing the weight.
It's been very hard and demotivating to stick to the gym and healthy diet being so out of shape. Sometimes it just felt like I'll never get the results I'm aiming for hence my decision to go for a young Mommy Makeover.
I have met with Dr Braun twice in the last 6 months and both consults went extremely well. He put my mind at ease and gave me the confidence that I have made the right decision.
So in 5 hours..... I'll be officially going in.
Here's to a yummy-mummy to be????

How are your boobs doing? Any big scars? I am considering a boob job now and trying to do my research. I was reading black women tend to scar more...... what is your experience? You look lovely :*

So the surgery took just under 3 hours. Something neither the PS or myself had expected. All seems to have gone pretty well except for a few hours after I cam out of theatre. My right boob was just in excruciating pain and the nurses seemed to think it was a drain that wasn't positioned correctly. Until I could literally feel the blood/liquid oozing all over me, then I would not stop screaming until Ai got a pain injection and the right side was redressed.
Besides that little episode, the pain seems to be bearable.
I go back home later today so we'll see what post care instructions we get and how that goes. Personally I did not rent or buy any recliner beds/seats and having used this hospital one for the pst 2 nights I'm wondering if I should have.
We'll cross that bridge once we get to it I suppose.

So it's been 2 nights at the Rosebank Clinic and so far really great. I can't wait to get back home though and get into some kind of healing routine there too.
Will see Dr Braun later this morning so we'll update on what post op care he instructs once I leave hospital. Besides that, it's been two whole days and I desperately miss being in a bath or a shower. But one day at a time right, once I get to have that shower I'll probably relish it much more than I ever have enjoyed a shower before.
Oh and I coughed last night. Painful is an understatement. It felt like I had popped something out of place and took a while and a painkiller injection to settle down. After that though I slept right through.
