37 Years Old, 3 Kids (With Twins), 5 Ft Tall, 120 Lbs Asian, Finally Got TT, MR and Lipo Done! Vancouver, BC

I had always been a petite, size 0-2 girl, friends praised how fit and healthy I looked before I got pregnant. I only gained 28 lbs. from my 1st pregnancy. Since I breastfed my child, I was able to lose all the weight within 6 months. The 1st pregnancy didn't leave me a single stretch mark or any additional fat. Then, I got pregnant with twins. Again, I was really careful with what I ate during pregnancy, I only gained 28-30 lbs. with the twins. I gained no fat on my body as people standing behind me couldn't tell I was pregnant until they stood beside me, then they were shocked how huge my bump was. My skin were stretched so much that it got really thin and itched really bad. After the twins were born, I breastfed them as well, so I was able to drop the first 15 lbs. quite quickly. However, my tummy skin was really loose and saggy. In the past two years, I tried to lose weight on the treadmill and did aerobics, but the muscle separation is so wide that no matter what I did, I still have a big pouch. I hated the feeling how the pouch is separated from my body and wobbled when I walk or run. The twins finally turned 2 and started to go to daycare, so I feel it's time for me to fix this problem that had bothered and affected my self-esteem.

4 days before my surgery date, my mom and I went together to meet Dr. Pugash for my prescriptions and understand what to expect after the surgery. Everything is set to go and I didn't feel nervous at all. On the day of the operation, I arrived right on time at 7:00am at the False Creek Surgical Centre. The nurse took me to a private room with a bed, gave me the sexy blue gown to change into, took my blood pressure, told me to relax on the bed and wait for Dr. Pugash to arrive. Honestly, I wasn't nervous at all, as I've been looking forward to this surgery for quite awhile. Dr. Pugash arrived at 8:15am, he reviewed the surgery that we're doing and did some nice artwork on my skin. Then, I headed to the clean bright surgical room.

I woke up from the surgery in the recovery room at 2:00pm. The nurse told me that I got out of the surgery room at 1:00pm, so I guess the surgery took 4.5 hours (8:30-1:00)! Honestly, I was so tired and weak for the rest of the day after the surgery, I could hear people talking, but didn't have the energy to respond and do much. I tried but couldn't get up, felt dizzy and nauseous. I had a can of ginger ale, but that only made me feel worse. So, I only drank water for the rest of the day, didn't have the appetite to eat a single thing. The overnight stay at False Creek Surgical Centre was expensive but worth it.
