WORTH IT$14,500

I am 31 years old and a mother of two boys. I am 5'4 and currently weigh 140 lbs. I have been wanting to do this since after having my first child. I gained about 30 lbs with each child and my stomach just never recovered. It seems each pregnancy just made things worse and worse. I also used to have very cute size B breasts but I am currently at a 36D and they have lost all of their shape.

I am scheduled to have a full tummy tuck with lipo and muscle repair and a breast lift on Aug 18th. I'm at the 2 week mark and I have to tell you I am super excited.

I have read everyone's reviews and finally got the courage to join myself.

I started my VitaMedica Clinical Support Program this week. I filled my antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxer and nausea medication this week and next week I will fill my pain pills. I also got some laxative pills.
My doctor's office gave me a supply of topical ointments. Any other recommendations for supplies I should get before hand?

I can't believe my surgery will be here next week. I feel like it has taken forever to get to this date. At least planning to take vacation and running around to meetings will keep me occupied this week. I heard the term nesting used and I think that is appropriate.
I am lucky to have my Mom coming in to take care of me and help my husband with the kids. I will be staying over one night in the hospital so my doctor can monitor me and make sure everything is well before they send me home.

Your time is almost here! So exciting! I would reccomend 3 or more large squishy pillows. A lot of ladies have reccomended a recliner or a medical bed. I did not do that ($ reasons), i just got the pillows and they worked well for me. And make sure all your meds are taken on time as you will not want to miss a dose. In addition i would also say to try and get up and move as much as possible, it will be tough at first but will get easier each time. I was up and walking by myself down the hall of the hospital by myself 12 (i counted-kinda crazy i know) times, and i honestly feel like it gave me a jumpstart and helped me with my recovery from the get go. Please let us know how it goes ad we will b thinking about u. U r goung to look amazing, woohoo you! :)
