A NSV post tummy tuck and lipo!

So I originally wanted to do my tummy, lipo and have a boob job. After my consult, I decided that my girls were good enough, especially in a good bra and I didn't want to spend the extra 11,000 for new boobs. So about a month ago I had my lipo and extended tummy tuck......and I can't tell you how many people have asked me if I got new boobs! I just returned to work yesterday and about 5 people commented on that and axed me.......too funny.
What I think happened is since my middle is smaller, my boobs look bigger and better! Never even considered that would happen...but it works for me and I saved a bunch of money!!!

What a great unexpected benefit. How was it returning back to work? I hope all went well, and it was easier than you expected.

Hi!

Going back to work has been ok. So far I have only done 1/2 days to get back into it. I need to come home and nap after. The problem is my back...when I get tired, it really hurts from all the lipo I had. But I am doing ok...thanks for asking!
It is just too funny aBout all of the boob questions I am getting...I guess I didn't need a boob job after all! But considering how much pain I was in...I am so happy I didn't!

I returned to work on Thursday, sooner than I had planned. My company changed short term disability carriers in January and my PS was no longer covered. This was a big surprise as I am in the HR department and did my research. Needless to say, I need my income and back to work I go.

I worked from home last week and was back in office yesterday. Today was tough. I'm getting some tummy swelling and my abdominal muscles were super sore by the end of the day today. I bowed out of a business dinner and came home to my Percocet.

I'm sorry I don't have any advice, but I can commiserate with you. I hope you see improvements with your back pain soon!

I used to say I knew my diet was working when my boobies stuck out past my belly!! That is too funny people are noticing that!!

What a bonus!!! Oh, meant to tell you--I definitely still have pain from my lipo. I also had back lipo from my LBL scar to my waist and maybe a little higher. I cringe when my kids throw their arms around me to hug me because if they squeeze too tight it really, really hurts. Not so much just sitting, but for sure to the touch. It has gotten better, but is still tender. I'm sure mine is an issue of delayed healing from my iron issues, so I'm excited to see how I do with that improved.

Take care!

That's a great nsv without the scars or pain.

I have noticed that even though I got a reduction, I look bigger. Maybe because they are in a new location for me. Yesterday I was trying to brush off whatever was on my breast on my t-shirt,
only to realize it was my nipple! It's never been up there before. :)
