WORTH IT$24,000
I have surgery this Friday march 7 with dr. Kenneth Hughes in LA california. Soooo nervous.
I'm having a tummy tuck, breast lift with silicone implants, Brazilian butt lift with lipo to my inner thighs, tummy, and the top of my butt.
I just lost over 120 lbs from gastric bypass last march. At a later date I plan to also have a thigh lift and possibly butt implants.
I have already began taking the supplements and protein shakes. I already filled my rx now just counting down the days til operation.
I'm doing the surgery during spring break but will take off an additional week. I plan to purchase a wheel chair to help when it's time to go back to school.
Does anyone have any last minute advice, tips. Things you wish you wld hv known before surgery you wish to share? All advice is welcomed:)

The first 4 days were the worst for me. I thought I'd made a huge mistake. I turned a corner on day 5 though. Just be patient and prepare yourself for the pain the first week or so.

I'm feeling much better today. Thank goodness. I had an allergic reaction to one of the pain meds yesterday and felt like there where a mil bugs crawling all over me I was itching so bad. Took two benedrls. Called my mom and she also gave me instructions on how to get out of bed. Which was the most painful thing I had and still have to deal with. I Cldnt engage any of the muscles because everytime I did it was insane pain.
The muscles started to get stronger late afternoon yesterday and I'm able to engage them more today. This includes legs arms and tummy. My back still hurts but it's also getting better.
So this is how u get up: the most important part about moving period is to keep your mouth open at all times. When ur mouth is closed you tend to engage ur muscles. So keep ur mouth open and knees bent. Try to have whomever is helping u keep both legs LEVEL at all times both during the roll and sit up. User 50 going on 35 gave me a great tip which is to put a pillow between ur thighs and legs and feet in order to help keep them level in case the person helping isn't strong or may lose balance. But KEEP UR MOUTH OPEN. My mom was a nurse on the post op ward for years which I totally forgot. Lol but the mouth open thing helps a lot.
How I sleep w tt, bbl, bl, aug, lipo to thighs, back, tum, sides, pillows. The foam didn't work for me as it was way to firm. So I have pillows almost in a step pattern behind me. A pillow for lumbar support, this one is so important make sure it's smooth if it's lumpy or too soft u will pay when having to sit up again to adjust. Then we slide a pillow as far as it can go under my butt from the bottom. Then a pillow on each side to support my butt. Plus pillows outside of those to support my arms. Also the second night the swelling kicked up sooo bad it was burning so I used Ice on my side boobs, tummy, and butt, and lower back. I put ice in a bag and that was the only way I was able to sleep.
We are traveling back to San Diego today I hope the car ride goes ok and isn't too bumpy or too much traffic. I've been peeing a lot as well so hopefully it will go quickly.
Also the first two nights I peed in a diaper over the spandex thing they give u. So I was soaked in pee, I know it's gross but the pain was to great to get undressed, for like 40 hrs. My friend kept changing my diaper and we ruined a cpl pillows. So what we did was line the bed with plastic, then a towel, then a chuck. Then my diaper. Still ruined a pillow because the diapers aren't close engh when they are put over the spandex compression tights. So finally yesterday evening I said i can't pee n a diaper again I hate this feeling. We took the tights off he washed them w soap and water in the sink. Luckily the hotel has a dryer, so we dried them. He washed me up w the dial soap and water and baby wipes. Got a great foot and scalp massage.
But today I certainly feel better than I did yesterday. I'm still walking bent over and I have a little burning where the stitches are for tummy tuck when I move which I have to ask about. Whether that is ok or am I straining too much.
***sorry this review isn't in chronological order! I'm still on the pain meds and have had very little sleep. So I write about the diff topics as they pop into my head ????????????*****
*** I'll add photos of my sleeping set up when I get up in a little***
*** I'm going in to see Olga today before we head out so I'm sure we will snap pictures then. I haven't seen the work yet except my butt which I took pics and will post. Sorry abt the tissue hahaha but it's post op not glam shots hehehe Cldnt stand all the way so u can see the full results but the pics give a nice idea. I'm happy w my booty. And I hope w massages later it fluffs***
Muah talk to you guys soon and I hope this helps!!

I can't imagine the pain and discomfort you must be in. You are very brave. I hope your appointment with Olga goes well today and that your recovery gets better soon.
