32yo, Busy Mom of 3, Modified Tummy Tuck with Lipo and Muscle Repair - York, PA

I've been the girl with the flat tummy, then not, then again, then DEFINITELY not. My family has, what I not-so-lovingly refer to as (dun, dun, dunnnnn...) the "hereditary gut". We all have an average height and build, meaning thin legs and arms, but with a big belly. I just couldn't lose that gut! I was running 5x a week with an average of 15-20 miles a week, watching what I ate, but no luck. Throw three babies, the youngest weighing in at 9lbs 11oz at birth on top of the hereditary gut and it's a recipe for disaster. I'm currently 5 days post op and feel pleased despite swelling and discomfort.

Day five was the turning point where I no longer was questioning what I had done to myself. I have been off of any pain mess stronger than ibuprofen since 24 hours post surgery. Perhaps my self proclaimed toughness was being tested. ;-) Day 5 brought with it: no more sighing at the thought of going to the bathroom or getting up in general, as well as finally sleeping in my bed (with sleeping pills, of course).

I'm feeling better every day. I'm by myself during the day. My husband's job is still new so my mother helps by taking me to drop off and pick up my kids from school and daycare. I tend to myself the rest of the time and it's fine. Sleep is difficult. I don't sleep well at any time no matter where I am.
