Waiting on Health INS approval on tummy tuck...Please pray for God's will. The help from Blue Cross Blue Shield will be much appreciated.

Thumbs up I did it!!!

I did it! I had my plastic surgery on 11/10. All went very well! I am sore and I have one drain. My breasts look and feel fuller and my tummy is gone! lol No more spare tire/gut! My surgeon removed 10 lbs of skin!!!
All in all I am doing good taking it slow and easy. I will post pics once the swelling is down...
BTW...I wore a pair of large sweatpants into the hospital and after surgery they almost fell off! My belly to hold them up! LOL

I LOVE IT!

Thumbs up Tummy tuck/breasts lift update

Hey Babes! I wanted to give you all an update. 1st thanks a MILLION for the good vibes, prayers and ♥ !
I am doing very well...just a little sore/tenderness but all in all not bad. I would do it again with no question. I am surprised how well I am doing, I was expecting HELL...but no not even close for me.
Hubby helped me in taking off my bandages Thurs evening so I could shower and that was such a shock to me! I mean WOW my gut/flab was gone and my boobies...well HELLO! LOL I have never not had the flat gut/tire so it was a little emotional but very cool. Actually I can't really put words into the feeling of looking into the mirror for the 1st time. My legs got weak and I had to sit down...pretty emotional, but in a great way!
I know some of you have already experienced this landmark surgery and others are looking into it. If you have any questions feel free to ask. As we all know peer support is the best medicine!
I am excited to heal and get out to buy a new pair of Levis! Gotta show off my flatness! LOL

Thanks again for all your ♥ and prayers you all ROCK!

LOVE-P
