WORTH IT
Decided after 55 years, no more gaining weight up and down (15 lb. Window) Decided to maintain my 5'2" frame and maintain around 140 lbs. Have always exercised ,but like alot of people ,love my food! Due to the weight fluctuation and 3 surgeries in same area I was left with alot of saggy skin and saggy breasts. Decided to get the Mommy Makeover,3rd day after surgery. Actually feeling pretty good, discomfort in lower back,so getting up and moving around day of surgery is a great thing to do. Helps keep things flowing! I am so glad I decided to get the procedure done, well worth it as I can see so far . Dr. SHAH is an amazing surgeon and person. He did tell me I had quite a bit of muscle under my skin,so I was ecstatic about that, the possibility of having some abs! Posting pre op and post op 2 day out. Will keep updating.

Day 5 post op

Well my wonderful husband ( my rock)has been taking care of me since my surgery. He is off to work this morning, so first time home alone! Feeling pretty comfortable about it ,because alot of things can happen in 1 day. The last 2 days I seemed to sleep more than I had been. Also yesterday, cut my dose in half on my percocet, can get out of bed on my own and YES, finally the good old BM happened lastnight! My drains have slowed down immensely, so Dr. said probably come in tomorrow and maybe remove both of them! Back muscles are by far the most pain of my procedures. Will get some more pics tonight and post them and about my 1st day home alone.

Well today went to see Dr. Shah and Yea!! Both drains removed :) Have got around alot better today and not as hunched over.Dr said everything is healing great! Have had a knee pain a couple of days, but hope just from different movements of the legs and knees .I have to admit I was thinking ,oh no ,hope not a blood clot!!! I always think the worst ,which is not a good habit :( They checked out leg and no visible sign of a clot ,so made me feel better, other than that worry, I feel amazingly great :) I am posting a couple of pictures. The one red spot above my scar is my old belly button piercing, pretty crazy :)
