Dreams came true - can’t wait to see how amazing my body will be

ORIGINAL POST

Dreams Came True and I’m AMAZED

tattoodmamabMarch 20, 2023
WORTH IT$12,000

I’m 6 days post op and finally got to see the magic Dr. Neaman did. I cried, happy tears. Tears of I can’t believe what he made happen. My oldest daughter 19 left me with tiger stripes to my youngest left me with lots of unnecessary skin. 4 kids later this MOM never thought I could make this happen. So grateful my husband supported me on this journey and made it possible. I can’t wait to continue see the magic unfold. It’s been surreal what I see.

The only downfall was for me the vomiting. I was extremely sensitive to the pain pills and the constant puking for 3 days was PURE hell. Unfortunately, his office is 2 hrs away so couldn’t get a new medication in a flash. I had a hysterectomy a few months back so used the pain pills from that to help me survive. If I didn’t puke I’m sure it wouldn’t have been as awful the first 3 days. My issue is my standing up and the dull ache from being unable to stand. I can’t wait to continue to see how amazing my body will be. It’s already insane 6 days post op. MAGIC! Thank you DR. Neaman. I’m going to get brave enough eventually to show before pics. I was miserable with my appearance without clothes on pre him making me feel like how I use to be pre 4 kids. I would suggest to have it done to everyone i know who’s contemplating! MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!

I am so sorry you had the puking experience. A friend and I went to TJ and had the VSG and she was like that. She puked and puked and puked…I was great. I don’t do pain well or looking at the incisions.I’m having a TT, lift and implants June 21. I’m a nervous wreck. Can’t wait to see results but so nervous and not sure what to expect. And pointers?

The puking was the TORTURE. If you didn’t puke for that. I’m sure you will be great. I am super sensitive to medications so that’s my issues for ANY surgeries. It’s the most terrifying part of any surgeries I get. Even this one. I had a friend get a mommy makeover a few days ago and she said it’s been pretty under control. She said her boobs were more painful than the TT. she also had a VSG and lost 140lbs.
I think the part for me I didn’t prepare for the mental part. It’s hardddd not being able to do ANYTHING and feeling stuck. I don’t do well with that. Plus the weather has been brutal here in Oregon. My husband did my drains for about 5 days than I finally did it the remainder. I got them out yesterday and man I feel much better. They are the worse. I am swollen pretty good and not sleeping very well just because if meds been keeping me up. I think you will do AMAZING! Keep me posted on your journey!

Im not well at sitting still! So I’m trying to prepare everything I can to be still. It’s gonna suck being summer time. I love being out and mowing. But my husband will help until I’m able to be back on the mower. Im looking up things to binge watch lol…. I have sleep number bed so I’ve been trying to sleep on my back and elevated. Im a side sleeper. I would love to see pics! You can PM me if you’d like! I can’t wait to be on the journey of healing and not stressing over getting it done! Hang in there! You’re on the up hill!!!

Honestly, the two things is the emotional part of being stuck for me! It’s freaking awful being stuck inside. i can’t stand up straight so going anywhere is impossible still. i don’t do well with being indoors I go in the car even then it’s uncomfortable. I’m ridiculous With the emotional part. Honestly since u have a friend who has gone through the weight lost surgery with u that helps. U NEED that!

Day 11- drains out and mentally ready to be normal lol

tattoodmamabMarch 25, 2023
Day 11! Drains came out yest and the left side hurt more like stung. They were in there for 10 days, maybe that’s why? The burning fire to the stomach last night was hard. No one prepares you for the mental challenge of feeling all the different emotions and feelings, it’s hard being down. I can’t wait to stand up. The things u don’t realize u will miss til standing up is damn near impossible. When did y’all begin to stand straight up? i just miss showering and my back not being in fire.

Hi! am 3 weeks in, and feel your pain! everything feels ridiculously tight and still can't stand up straight, which is killing my back....lots of Voltarol gel is helping slightly; also, cannot believe how little energy I have, just want to sleep all the time....this site has really helped me, as I know all the things I'm feeling are normal for this procedure! It's a long haul, but no going back now, and keep thinking ahead to when this is just a memory :@D good luck with your recovery X

Oh my gosh! Thank you for making me feel less alone. This has been the most hardest thing ever. I didn’t mentally prepare myself for the downtime and the mental exhaustion that comes from not being capable of walking and the pain of not being able to stand up straight and looking like a 90yr old. The tightness in the belly is out of this world and burning sensation is crazy! I’m like showering while holding the wall because of not being able to stand up and it feels like I’m pulling my soul!LOL.
I think paid 12k to torture myself but then I look at my results and I’m like it’s better than it was before but stilllll!!!
