Tummy Tuck My Last Hope

I'm back!!!.
Yes, I have had so many surgeries already it feels serial to me.
But, I was so happy with my body after so many years of insecurities. I felt on top of the world until I got pregnant. My body has not been able to recover the way I want it to.
9 months ago I went to Mexico got Lipo on my Flank, lower back, Ab's and had a breast lift.
I thought that would be enough for me. Unfortunately I have some fibrosis on my AB's and I also look uneven. Since I didn't do lipo on my upper back or arms.
I also noticed that my stomach is not flat. I work out a lot and from what I can tell it's not really fat. When I wake up, my stomach is pretty flat. I feel like I'm just bloated.
After reading up, I believe I have muscle separation. From what I understand or understood. your AB's act as a corset for all your internal organs. After you have a baby, you AB muscles separates and it can no longer suck everything in.
Lipo didn't help me because I didn't really have a lot of fat. Which is why having Lipo this last time gave me Fibrosis. You can get Fibrosis when you have Lipo and it's too close to the skin.
In order to fix my AB's and also get rid of the fibrosis on my lower AB's is to get a tummy tuck. I can hit two stones with one surgery.
After this I really hope I never step in another surgery room ever again.
Time to hunt for a New Plastic Surgeon.

Hi there. Yes, it's true that your body drastically changes after pregnancy. Actually, mine didn't change all that much from my first pregnancy at 29 but changed a lot after my last one at 36. I think the older you are the more damage is done to your body with pregnancy. I also have had Lipo and have some irregularities. That is why I am having a tummy tuck next month. I'm small all over except for my stomach which pooch out in the same way yours does after I eat something. Good luck on your search for a PS !

I selected a doctor in Mexico . The cost was $7,300 for tummy tuck and lipo on arms and upper back.

Date is set for January 14.

I was able to secure a recovery house were I will have a nurse 24/7. They will help me to bathroom, walk, shower, head me. 3 meals is also included. $50 a day the place is called https://www.erikasrecovery.com/

My doctor is Martin Yanez. Baja, Mexico. I found him here on real self. I liked the reviews but I wish there was more recent reviews.

Im not serious but at the same time I am. This is much bigger surgery then I have ever had. My recovery will be longer. Not being able to stand straight for a month sounds so long.

My surgery went well ! I arrive at 7am. I was picked up and taken straight to hospital. I had blood work and cardiology test. By Noon I was taken to the prep room .
Everyone was so friendly mix joking around that I totally forgot I was getting major surgery. It was the first Time I met the doctor. He was super sweet. Much older then this real self photo lol but to me that is a good thing .
This was the first time that was under general anesthesia. I was didn’t feel pain at all but I was awake. But oddly I was also sleep. I could hear the doctor and nurse talking. I panicked at first . I was so sleepy it felt like a dream. I could just hear them say try to relax . Calm down. Just breath. When I was full awake when they strolled me out of the operating room. They said my surgery went perfectly. The took me to the room. It was so weird. I felt no pain at all. I was relaxed. I watched Tv and feel just fell asleep while watching Tv.
The nurses woke me up to clean my drain and also to give me water. They woke me up a second time to give me my antibiotics and pain medicine.
Before breakfast they took my vitals. They served me scrambled eggs with ham and oatmeal with Oj. Perfect! But didn’t eat anything. I Just wanted to sleep.
It’s 11am so far the hospital staff was so kind. Mr. Marrones Yaner nurse was super sweet. He helped me under dress, take shower, dry myself, changed my bandages and also dressed me now I’m just waiting to for my driver to take me to my recovery home.
Pain as of now is 2-3 out for 10. 10 being the worst pain.
But I am walking like an old lady.
Which is very good sign. If I can keep NOT feeling pain.

Looking good so far! Let's hope your painless recovery continues! How did you pick your surgeon? Were you afraid at all going out of the country for surgery like this? How long are you staying in the recovery home? Best of luck!
