Wow! I can't believe my surgery date is here. I am super excited and nervous all at the same time! My band has been super tight today. I guess my nerves have really tightened it. Wish me luck!

Wow! Congratulations to you too! What will u be having done if u don't mind me asking?

Well I am having a lot done as i need it :)

body lift, 360 abdominoplasty and my arms .. brachyplasty

I wanted to do as much as possible in one surgery and not have to go through a lot of different surgeries .. i know it will be a hard recovery .. nothing is impossible tho:)

Good luck to you! you will look amazing!! I'll be in surgery about 5 hours. For the TT I'll have the hip to hip horizontal incision AND a vertical incision to improve my upper stomach. It's kind of freaky isn't it!!!!

I was a self pay. $15500.00 thus far. I did end up staying overnight in the hopital because the surgery ended up taking 6 hours!!! My sister works in the surgical practice so my ps went above and beyond to give me the best result. I ended up agreeing to a vertical incision so he could shape my upper abdomen as well and tighten the muscles there as well as the lower. I'm only 30 hours post op and can see an awesome reslt. Wow! I'm speechless!!!!

By the way....he took 8+ pounds 31/2 in the br and 41/2 lbs in the abdomen!! Woo Hoo. I guess when the swelling goes down I'll be at 100 pounds lost!! yea me!!

I just cant believe how soon they kick you out. I was on for five days! I just wouldnt ge tht recouperation at home, decent meals cooked for me and a lomg spell of oing nothing but recovering.

Your doing great !

When I had my tummy tuck and extra skin removed from my chest... 14 lbs removed from tummy and 2 lbs from each "manboobiie"... no real pain... lots and swelling and a ton of bruising !!

Take it won day at a time.

The end results are wonderful !!

I ended up with a vertical incision too, mainly because of the same problem i needed a repair to the ab muscles i am always happy to have a neat scar rather than a wierd shaped looking abdomen .. glad u are recovering well :)
