Ok did you ever hear the saying be careful what you wish for it just may come true? Well I have been wising for a tummy tuck for the past few years and the day has finally come and I'm scared out of my mind. I am not afraid of the pain I'm afraid of not waking up or getting an infection. I don't know why I am all of a sudden freaking out but just am. I decided to go for it all,TT, lipo, breast lift and let's not forget breadt augmentation, 5,5 hour surgery. I always thought after I got my lap band and lost the weight I would be content. However after losing 75 lbs I now how sagging breasts that were basically deflated and all this extra skin. I have exercised throughout my entire journey but nothing works. If anyone has some words of wisdom, tips or if you can say a prayer for a stranger I would greatly appreciate it!

I wish you a very happy, successful, outcome.

I pray your medical team takes great care

of you.

I am envious. : )

Wow, this is so exciting! Scary for you, I understand, but exciting too! Everything will be fine. You earned this, and you've waited so long, so just have faith and take a deep breath! You will feel amazing in a few weeks after the swelling has gone down and you are feeling comfortable. People have these procedures all the time, and you will be okay. Try to focus on what life will be like when all the bandages come off and you resume your normal activities. Won't it be fun to look in the mirror and see your new shape! Good luck, and keep us posted!

Remember you are doing this for you! You have some a phenomenol job in losing the weight. U will have more confidence and look really good! After my surgery and weight loss of 150, I am surely getting a TT and butt augmentation ...

I have my breast lift tomorrow Saturday 23rd March, i have had all the other surgies and believe me they were not as bad as you imagine them to be. I am 58 yrs old and had masses of skin to be cut away as i had lost over 237lbs, but it looks and feels fantastic, this is one thing you will not regret. It is easy to look back after surgery with rose tinted specs on, take lots of before photos and then keep looking back at them, all this body changing skews our perceptions a little so keep the before and after pics close at hand. Cosmetic surgery has an emotional rollercoaster too so be prepared for a few tearful days but on the whole be be prepared for a new lease of life .. good luck for your surgery.. let us know how you are doing. I will be so glad to get rid of my sagging breats too, i dont need the augmentation just the darn things lited and skin removed

The good thing about long surgeries is that we dont know they are long, only the relatives waiting for us do my first surgery was 11 hours long, my second was 7 hours, this is a planned 4 hour, you will be fine

Well I made it through my surgery it was 8 hours but what a fantastic job my surgeon has done, unfortunately I developed a haematoma and had to rushed back into surgery for another 2 hours , bleed is fixed now and just in hospital recovering . Had transfusions today because of loss of blood, but overall am doing well.These things happen I hope your surgery went well ! I am due home in the next few days yay lol

My blood pressure was very low 80/40 along with my hb levels so another transfusion today drains should be out tomorrow .tuesday.

I had a feeling that my last surgery would be the worst, oh well it happens. Am in full compression garments so everything should settle down soon... What an adventure this has all been !!!!

Hi how did your surgery went? How do you feel now? My TT was on March 21, and today the first day I am feeling back to normal.
