are you having them done at the same time?

I had the tummy tuck back in 2001. If you have ANY questions at anytime, feel free to PM me. I'll even give you my number if something comes up and you want to call.

I dont know anything about the booby surgery though - but my sister does~! She had hers fixed after losing weight also. hers are perky little c cups i think. you really cant tell she has fake boobs at all.

Thanks Smurfy. I know recovery will be hard and it would be so nice to have a list of #'s of peeps to cry to, lol. Especially since you've been through this.

I'm having an extended TT and boob lift. Implants later after fully healed or whenever I'm ready.

Thanks Smurfy. My surgery is on June 20th. I'm gonna stay diligent til the 19th. I'll really need my leg muscles to get me outta my recliner (renting one).

Also, since my BF is going down, when sweaty now, I can see my bony chest sternum (sp) glistening and it looks so bizarre. I can't wait to get this behind me.

id quit lifting approx 5 days prior to the surgery. the last thing you want is to be going through DOMS and then all the pain after the surgery.

Who's taking care of you after the surgery? I had a 24 hr nurse at my house with me it was kind of nice.

PPPFFFTTT!!! I wish! That's awesome!

DH will take care of me Friday-Tuesday and then I'm on my own with a 4 and 5 year old. I am renting a lift recliner (like old folks use).

My neighbor is a doctor and his wife is one of my BFF's so they will help out and look over me when they're around.

just be careful
you will have drain tubes coming out of you and a compression garment and PAIN. i cant remember specifically how long it took me to get back to normal but i do recall on the 4th day i took a 4 mile walk because i was missing working out so much.

wow, great to know. After my surgery in Mexico of all places I took a freaking bus ride on some unpaved roads and it sucked so bad! Dumb, dumb idea. I was 5 days postop and wanted to sight see. Hellloo?


I AM sending my kids to Bible School from 9:30-12:30 the following week so that will give me time for some naps.

another word to the wise: do not start training again until the doctor gives you permission otherwise you will strain your muscles and put undue stress on your scar which you want to heal as nicely as possible. I didnt obey the doctor and decided to go back to the gym when I felt like it (too early) and i ended up making my scar get ropey and too thick and I subsequently had to have intra-scar injections to bring down the ropiness. it hurt like a mofo - 20 needle injections right into the scar while it was still healing/tender.

also, lots of vitamin e (cut open the vit E caps) to rub onto the scar and lots of rubbing and massaging the knots out of the scar (its hurts but they tell you to do it b/c of scar tissue)
