Tummy Tuck, Flank Lipo, Breast Lift with Fat Transfer

WORTH IT$20,000
Well, I did it... my surgery is scheduled. In 5 days, I’ll have a tummy tuck, liposuction to my flank area to defined my waist, a breast lift, and they will inject the fat from my Lipo into my breast. I just didn’t feel comfortable with implants, so hopefully this will help give me a little more fullness. Starting to get a bit nervous & find myself coming back to this site to scan before & after pictures. I decided not to read any of the “not worth it“ comments because I’m hoping for the best outcome and don’t want to get discouraged!
I feel I am very prepared: I have my medication, comfortable clothes, meals for two weeks, and even a walker! A lot of reviews that said their lower back started hurting from walking all hunched over… I am not interested in adding back pain to my troubles. So I thought a cheap walker would help. I also bought a couple of foam triangles. One to go behind my back on the bed and one to go under my knees. I don’t have a recliner so this is the best I can do.
I’m working a lot Monday through Thursday so that will keep me busy. My surgery is Friday at 11 AM. It’s supposed to be about five hours. I’m praying it all goes well. I see so many amazing “After“ pictures and I hope mine look amazing too.

It was VERY uncomfortable posting these “before“ pictures! But these remind me of why I’m doing this. I’m still excited about the surgery... 3 days away.

I understand that! But when you are done, it will be so nice to see the drastic change!

I thought I would give my age & other information since I forgot to do it on my original post. I went ahead and ordered a shower chair today as I have read that taking a shower can be really difficult without one. Just trying to get as much ready as possible before surgery. 4 days to go...

I’m glad I have a full day of work today because that will take my mind off tomorrow. I’m getting a little nervous but I think that’s pretty normal. I ordered a chair for the shower to make life a little bit easier for me. And I have some loose yoga pants that should arrive in the mail today as well. Trying to get as much done as possible. I think I have perfected my protein shake recipe to make sure that I have enough protein for recovery.
Another person said to bring a pillow with you because the seatbelt can irritate you if you have a long drive home after surgery. I’d rather be too prepared and have a miserable drive! Hoping I get some sleep tonight.
