I'm planning on having an extended tummy tuck with breast lift and augmentation after losing around 80lbs. I'm unhappy about the amount of droop my boobs have. They look like uneven hanging pancakes . And my belly pooch isn't much better. I'm actually pretty thin but all this extra skin hides my lean figure.

I had my mommy makeover with Dr B. on June 10th. He and his wife and the staff at Forest Park Medical did a fantastic job. I had a BL and standard TT. I opted to stay one night at the hospital and it was worth every penny. Dr B showed up at my room the next morning to check up on everything and even told me to enjoy my stay an not to worry about leaving right away. My second check up at his office a week later was great as well. He removed my drains (which didn't hurt) and assessed my recovery. His wife Dr V even showed up and asked if my pain was ok and if i was good with the meds. By my third visit about 3 weeks out he said I didn't have to wear my binder or compression garment anymore unless I wanted to. I've healed up wonderfully with no complications. My boobs look 18 again and I have a nice flat tummy. Be prepared for some serious soreness if you get the muscle repair like I did. The first week was pretty hard but since then it's been a good. He has done such a good job on me my sister in law has an appointment with him to get a mommy makeover as well this fall. You will be happy with him and his team. Just follow his instructions, take your meds as prescribed, and don't hesitate to call him if you have any questions. He contacts you immediately if you have any concerns. Good luck with your future adventure and new body.

I'm glad you had a good experience. Glad to hear it wasn't painful getting your JP drain out. I'm nervous about that because at work I pull drains out of my patient's backs after surgery and it isn't always a pleasant experience. But maybe tummys are different. Where you able to sleep with the abdominal binder on? I have insomnia and worried I wont sleep; I guess I could always take sleeping meds but I hate being drugged up.

Next week is my "boob fitting"

Sounds weird to say that I'm going to go get fitted for my boobs. And what an amusing conversation to have with my big sister that I want her to come along too for an outside opinion. Haha. But I think she's curious what its all about so she is secretly excited! ;)
I more nervous about the breast lift and implants than the tummy tuck, probably because I'm putting a foreign object into my body. I worry that since I'm doing it in just one stage the pressure from the implant will split apart the incision so maybe I should sacrifice a bigger size for safety's sake? Ideally I want to be a "C" cup but I know that's not an accurate way of measuring. As long as I can still sleep on my stomach I'm good. I'll be asking a lot of questions at my appointment and this time I'm writing them down so I don't draw a blank when I get there. Ugh.
