Hi everyone! After weeks of overwhelming research and headaches I finally found a PS I'm thrilled with and am scheduled for surgery April 6th!!!! I'm excited and down right terrified. Terrified because like a moron I repeatedly watch TT YouTube videos and trust me when I say they are horrendous looking, and I work in healthcare. So I'm scheduled for a full tummy tuck with muscle repair. My surgeon says I have about 3 inches of muscle separation. Also a breast augmentation. I'm going big but I'm Italian and have the large Italian boobs complements of my Nonna! Well deflated boobs now. We decided on 750cc as of now. We are hoping to avoid a lift by using a larger implant to fill the space. I originally had a 40 DDD bust so the size is not a factor for me. I prefer it. Any advice about either procedure would be greatly appreciated. Anything....maybe what you feel was necessary to have at home to help with recovery? Any tips or tricks. I know it's going to be painful. "I think I'm going to die" (see already prepared) I've had 3 c-sections and of course VSG so my stomach has been through it! She's also taking out all 3 of my c-sections scars. I'm not worried about the TT scar. I can't believe it's time for all of this already! Thank you for any and all help you can provide!

@@bayougirlmrsc Lol! You're too funny! I'm going to do it I'm just scared! Ugh! Why must beauty hurt!! I did NOT enjoy those c-sections btw!!! I will gladly take pain over another kid though!!!! DONE!

@@Elode Think of it this way. After you had those c section you had three beautiful children, but was left with an ugly tummy. This Time you'll come out of this with an amazing set of boobs and killer stomach.

I've changed my surgery date to April 4th so two days sooner, it works better with my husbands schedule. That will give me a full month of recovery and then I took a new position at work starting March! Game on!!!!

@@Elode You are going to Rock this girl .....

@@bayougirlmrsc I hope so, Im praying over it!

@@Elode You'll be fine! The first couple of weeks are a little rough, but that passes quickly. That's a blip on the radar of your life. It's really worth it. You just can't predict how much pain you'll have, or how you'll feel about it. You might be one of those people who find that it's not that bad. The good news is that you can get relief from it. Even at the worst, most painful days, it was very tolerable when I was still.

When you get to the hospital, look around and try to take in and remember everything. I did not do this for my tummy tuck, but I did it for my second stage plastic surgery and it was amazing. It was such a surreal experience! It was such a big moment in my life and I wanted to remember all of it. I wrote about my plastic surgery day if you want to read it and prepare yourself. Good luck!!!
