@@SavorySweet Thank you! Come on down!

Day 4: I slept in the bed all night. Didn't wake up at all but was hurting a bit when I did wake up this morning. Mainly my head! I've had headaches since yesterday. I think it may be from having my legs propped up so much. The blood is pulling in my brain! I took the prop out and was able to sleep on my side comfortably. I feel great now. I don't need assistance with anything anymore unless I use the prop, I need someone to adjust it for me. I recommend if you do have a TT to purchase this prop. It has been a lifesaver. I got it on amazon for 40 bucks with shipping. It's memory foam and quite big. I don't know what I would have done without it?

@TheRealMeIsHere! Well my new boobs are perkier!!

@@her1981 I didn't even have a goal weight for the longest time, then I said ok 180. I would be thrilled at 180. I've always wanted to be 180 and I don't even know why. Now I'm 142 how that happened I have no clue.

I've decided once I'm healed I'm going to hit the workouts and give Kim K a run for her money!!! Lol!

@@PissiChrissi I'm 5'8 and my starting weight was 267 lbs.

@@PissiChrissi inbox me

Double post.

@@Babbs I inboxed you. So yes TT without the MR. I'm not sure how that correlates with a panniclectomy. I'm not sure how exactly that procedure is performed.

@@Babbs I went in for a full tummy tuck but once she got under the skin she realized I didn't need the MR part so she didn't do that part of the procedure. It's rare that that happens. I guess I'm considered "lucky" because it made the process far less painful and my recovery is practically over as far as any pain. I will show you my boobs! Inbox!

@@WLSResources/ClothingExch This particular drain is placed between the layer of skin and stomach muscles they dissected to catch and fluid that could accurate between the layers.

I would show you guys my lift because she did an amazing job with it, it took her the longest to do but I don't think I'm allowed to show that much on here.

@@jane13 I am!!

Day 3 before and after! I'm completely off the pain pills and in my own bed!! I'm extremely swollen all the way down my legs but the results are absolutely amazing to me! I still can't believe it. I have curves and definition already even with all the swelling. I wanted curvy! I took her a picture and told her I wanted curves not just flat. She did exactly what I asked for and made my curves!! Think belly dancer. I'm going to be working on those legs once I'm healed!

@@VSGAnn2014 It's defiantly a personal decision to make. It wasn't an easy one for me either. I'm so glad I did it now but it was extremely stressful. I wouldn't want to go through that whole stress induced waiting for surgery day process again. If I have anything else done I will be more happy about it because it will be something I'm excited about. I don't fear any other plastics like I feared this tummy tuck.

@@cdsjjotn Thank you!

I would also like to point out yet again that I didn't have to have muscle repair so my recovery is much faster and less painful because of that. If you have to have muscle repair its going to more than likely hurt a lot more. Just remember that!

@@Babbs I think whatever you decide just know it's a life changer! Almost like the sleeve but immediate results which is still hard to wrap my head around. I have a flat stomach! I have never had a flat stomach! Granted I'm more swollen today but still AND my precious little belly button! It just makes me smile when I look at it. It's so flipping cute!

@@Daisee68 I hope so! She says she wants to be a anesthesiologist. Even better lol!!

@@Babbs Well since she didn't have to do muscle repair after all that's what I have. Plus my lift. I had to do mine separate to have the best results. Trying to do them together with my thin sagging skin could be disastrous. I kinda like my new lifted ones. I'm surprised they turned out so well I didn't think I would have anything but I look like I have little implants in there. Everything is lifted and in the perfect areas. It's like I have teenager boobs again lol! I will wait for everything to heal before I decide for positive on what I'm going to do. The breast took her the longest time. 2 1/2 hours for my breast and 1 1/2 hours for my tummy.

@@PissiChrissi lol! You certainly could!

@@Daisee68 Yay congratulations! I'm 17 months post op but have been at a steady weight for months. I couldn't wait any longer either. I'm sure you will have wonderful results! Just find a good reputable surgeon. Do all your research. I just got done with my shower. I took my time this time and didn't run all over. My daughter was with me the whole time she's 15. I sat with the binder off for awhile before I got on my shower chair and my daughter practically sat at the back of the shower with me. She refused to leave me in there alone. She's been such a blessing and taking excellent care of me. She makes sure I have my meds, food, rubs oil on my belly and cleans my belly button for me. She even drains my JP drain and writes it down. My husband is great too but she's just better at this. I can't wait to see how your appointment goes!

@@Daisee68 yeah, that was a tad traumatizing for all parties involved. He got me back to my chair and got me settled back in. I took a pain pill and went to sleep. Next time I'm taking my daughter with me.

I have a weird hiccup-burp thing I do when my stomach is full. It's a combo of them both at the same time.

I am thrilled. I did have a episode earlier though. I decided I wanted to have a shower so I took my binder off and was heading to the shower. I stared getting light headed so I yelled for my husband and the next thing I knew I fainted and was laying on the floor. Naked. Scared my husband to death. I won't be taking a shower today. That kinda hurt but I'm more worried about being naked on the dirty floor. Now I really want to sanitize myself but I'll just wait it out and sponge off.
