WORTH IT
My 50 birthday is looming and I have never been happy with the level of floppy my breast have been exhibiting since I was 16. Despite never having kids, I have always had loose belly skin. I am looking forward to not wearing a bra once in awhile, maybe even a backless dress! 13years ago I had liposuction on my tummy. I really should have had a tummy tuck since due to the laxity of my skin. So here goes..two more days, nervous and excited

I keep forgetting about my breasts since the tummy tuck is really no laughing matter.

Chin up my friend - the TT really is the hardest to get through. After the first 3 days it gets easier. Take your meds, get some Tylenol PM and rest all you can.

Holy balls, those were a tough few days! I am into night 5 tonight, my back is killing me but I can get around a bit better. Maybe one day I will be able to feel my tailbone again. Can't wait to sleep laying down. In two days the drains come out..so I guess I have come through the worst of it without too much trouble. God, I love my dog, he is the best nurse in the world, sleeping on the pillow next to me.

hahaha omg I laughed so much reading this - not at you but the memory and YES when I finally felt my tailbone AND got to sleep flat again it was like heaven! I didn't let my dogs snuggle with me until about a month out. (they like laying on my stomach.... ) It gets better, bit by bit. It will get frustrating but without even realizing it you'll fall asleep laying down, you'll walk straighter, you'll shower without needing to sit down, you'll get through a day without a nap! :-)

From what I can see, your boobies look great! It sucks right now, but the end product will be worth it! Hang in there, take it easy and be good to yourself while recovering.

Thank you! It's funny, I'm not really even thinking about my boobs at this point because my abdomen is a real challenge. Tomorrow the white gauze comes off, so I guess I will have a better look. My breasts feel so light - its weird not wearing a bra and having this feeling of freedom already

Oh, I believe you! I've heard the TT is a doozy to deal with and not fun. It's not the same as what you had done, I have to say my BL/BR was a breeze compared to the lipo I had done. You are not wearing a compression garment? or a bra? I had to wear both for 6 weeks....I wanted to burn those things when I was given the OK to stop.....I still am so programmed to wear a bra. I have only gone braless one time to go out and only a handful of times to bed. I guess it takes time to un-program the mind.

Apparently the surgical bra goes on tomorrow - 48 hours post surgery, and then compression garment next week for 6 weeks
Best of luck on your surgery today. Please keep us posted on how everything goes for you. You've got this!
