I had surgery Thursday, a tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, and a tiny bit of liposuction...

yesterday i felt ok, today i feel worse, sad. i hope this is worth it. the pain is tolerable and im trying not to take too much pain medication because it makes me a bit nauseous..

i get my garments removed monday..im a little afraid to see what it all looks like. the dr. removed 4lbs of skin from my stomach..im afraid it will look the same..

im usually very positive but i could use some encouragement..i think it might be the pain meds making me sad

Hey pretty!! I'm sorry you are feeling rough. The anesthesia really kicks your butt as does the narcotic pain meds. It takes a while to get out of your system. You will not look the same. If they could take my fat shar pei belly and make it flat, you will look awesome!!! You looked awesome in clothes before, I can only imagine how wonderful you'll look! Try to relax, get a funny movie and remember this too shall pass.

Hope you are feeling awesome soon!!

When was the last time you lost 4 lbs in one day? Of course you will look great! I am up in January for tummy and arms. Have to go a few spots at a time due to $$$$. Next will be thighs and boobies. You are sooooo going to love the new, tight you! Enjoy.

I'm still pre-plastics, but from what I've observed it seems that many people go through a rough patch in the first few days after surgery. Hang in there!

I'm sorry you're feeling bad. I haven't had PS, but I have had surgery and got the blues. I think that's normal, but it goes away, and you'll be Rockin and Rollin your new bod soon! Rest up!

Aw, I hope you're feeling better today. My recovery was not easy, either, but the good news is that you should bounce back fairly quickly. If you can get through the first week it does get a lot better day by day.

And yes, it should be totally worth it. I have no regrets at all.

Four pounds is a lot to come off your stomach. In addition, he would have tightened the muscles and given you a new shape. I bet your tummy is really flat under there, wait until you see!

Hang in there.

Hugs girl.. it will be worth it in the end.. I had been off line and without a phone for too damn long- I hadn't realized you'd had surgery already.. I am sure you are going to look fabulous and love life in the islands.. and are going to rock the beach girl..

I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

Ok first let me say that yes it will be worth it eventually. I had all the same procedures you had and was disappointed for some time even questioned if I should have done it at all some people heal slower and well it took exactly two years for me to feel normal miles not to hurt etc but I did get there and am so glad and happy with the results now so hang in thee it really does get better hope you heal faster than I did cheers to the new you
