17 months later STILL So Worth It! TT-No Muscle Repair, BL/BA (325cc silicone)

WORTH IT$14,600
I am a mother of 3 and after the birth of my first child I was left with a sagging stomach full of stretch marks. I had my daughter 11 years ago and now at the age of 33 I am divorced and the thought of another man seeing my body creeps me out. So... I am regaining my self confidence and my body and I couldn't be more excited about it.
In one week from today I will be having a full tummy tuck, but no muscle repair, and a breast lift with the insertion of 300 cc silicone implants as well. I am nervous but more excited than anything. I just can't wait to get it over with!!!

I can't believe that in 48 hrs I am going to be laying on a surgery table. I have been so so excited but now the nerves are starting to come. There are so many questions going through my head.
Am I doing the right thing?
What if the scar is super high??
Am I going to be happy with only 300 ccs?
What if I can't go back to work in 2 weeks?
Are the scars going to be horrendous?
And a million other questions. I am trying to focus on wearing a bikini next summer but I am really anxious today.
I bought bomelain, arnica montana, scar away strips, stool softner, and actipatch's as well. I am hoping that I am prepared. I just need to start hydrating myself today and tomorrow to be ready!!

So, today I am one day post op. Yesterday went so well. They called yesterday morning and said that my Dr. was running early and that if I could make it they would move the surgery up from 11 to 1030. That worked for me because of course I was very anxious to get it over with!
When I get to the hospital there was very very minimal waiting. They took me right back and had me change, took vitals, and had me try to go to the bathroom. After that I met with the anesthesiologist who was great (I am highly allergic to Naproxen-like I go into anaphylactic shock- and am not supposed to take any NSAIDs at all) and he put my mind at ease as far as medication and anesthesia was concerned. He actually did my iv for me which I was so thankful for because I have tiny veins and so many people have missed them in the past.
After that my Dr arrives and begins drawing all over me with a blue marker. It was kind of funny watching her....she was like an artist the way she was concentrating! At the last minute I was having boob greed and asked her if we could go up to 325 cc as opposed to 300. She had no problem and just borrowed the 325 cc silicone moderate plus profiles from the hospital supply. I was so happy that I asked because I was under the impression that she wouldn't be able to change it because she had to order them for me. So I ended up going with 325 instead :)
After the Dr was done with me they put versed into my iv to relax me and I remember very little after that. My surgery was done around 3 and I remember waking up briefly around 3:20 or so. I left the hospital around 6 to go home.
Last night was good. We had alarms set so I could take my medication on schedule and I slept on my recliner in the living room. I actually haven't really left my recliner! HA!
I am in pain but have decided to just take 2 percocet every 4 hours today to keep it at bay. I am in less pain but I sure do itch...ugh....
I still have no idea what my incisions look like. It is going to be like christmas morning come Monday! I will update pics as soon as I can see something :)
