WORTH IT$3,650
I had a mommy makeover in March of 2011 with pretty good results. I loved that my recovery was so easy and how great my boobs looked. Now here is the odd part. After we moved to Germany I noticed the left side of my stomach was bulging again. Apparently the oblique muscle was bulging. It cause me some pain and actually caused my belly button to move two inches to the right! So now I am lopsided. I decided to go the dr that has done the majority of the military wives here. I am having a tummy tuck revision with liposuction of the abdomen and inner thighs. I am nervous, more so than the first time, because I am having surgery in a foreign country. This go around the dr has given me a laundry list of things I have to do before the surgery and after, nothing like the surgery before. I am 15 days out... Man I hope these nerves subside soon.

Welcome to the community. It's totally crazy what the muscles can do after surgery..UGH!
I bet this is strange being in another country this time around. Definitely let us know how you are doing.

Yes it is crazy how muscles react after surgery. I have to admit that the plastic surgeon says it's because I didn't take enough time to rest and recovery after my first one. I was walking completely upright by four days. So this time I have a two week mandatory rest and do nothing period. Surgery in Germany is a lot different from back home. The anesthesia is different so after surgery I have to be on a liquid/ soft diet for about five days because of the nausea. They don't believe in heavy pain killers here so I will be living on ibroprofen. Not looking forward to it. However the german hospitals are more patient centered than the ones in the us. So I hope it works out.

So I have 11 days to go before my surgery. I am still worried I forgot something. I have a meal plan and all the meals prepared in the freezer for the two weeks after my surgery. I have my ride to and from the hospital. I have my stool softeners, cold packs and recliner ready. I have to clean the house the weekend before my surgery to get it ready. I know I am forgetting something important. I am so nervous, I just hope I get a good result. I am so tired of my stomach being a mess.
