I am so excited about figuring out how to write my story on here, I dont know where to begin. I am 40 years old with a loving husband and 3 children. Britt is the oldest at 24 and then Josh 22 who is deplyed in Iraq and Liz 20. I was married and had children very young and have never stopped giving to them.

I have wanted to have a tummy tuck and breast augmentation ever since my first born. I am on disability for panic attacks and biploar but by no means crazy I lead a typical life of a wife and mother.

My husband and I which have a ipod with camera a camera and cell phones with cameras so we are not tech savy but we are going to try to have this journey documented on here. To continue to help others like me to learn as much as possible about the recovery process and what to expect.

I bumped my surgery so today was my 2 week mark. I have been in no real pain just uncomfortable. Everything is going fine and only had drains for 5 days. Since then I have been in swell hell. But its totally worth it all, just takes some getting adjusted to.

Well I am fianlly relaxed enough to sit down and type this. My daughter is 33 weeks pregnant and she was in the hospital so I had to keep my grandbaby. Good thing was is I had no time to obsess about my surgery. She is home now on bedrest. Her and the baby are napping now so peace and quiet.
I have bought all my pillows and have a few body pillows.
Alot of sundresses with wide straps because everyone says they swell so dont want to have to resort to my fat clothes, I am 5'7 and I am much bigger than most of you I weigh 180 I have lost almost 100 pounds and maintained it so Doc said you are never gonna be a little girl because of my bone structure but we can improve the things that bother you. So I saw 4 doctors and none had a problem with my weight. I love my PS already had 3 consults with him for questions and more questions. And each time he has been patient and thorough. Well ladies I have a house to clean and go work out so update you soon.

well I am waiting on a settlement check lawyer was paid weeks ago so my planned surgery depends on the money or I will have to reschedule. Which will disappoint me tremendly but doctor said no worries when paid we will make next date as soon as possible. I do have a few questions, First off where do you get the silicone gel strios? And should I really rent a recliner? Trying not to count the days because I will let it consume my thoughts.
But I am all ready clothes things I will need before and after. I am a bit OCD I am starting to think.

I hope your surgery happens as planned!

And yes, I would rent a recliner. I LOVED having one. It was a godsend those first two weeks.
