Nurseamy's tummy tuck/Lipo/Mastopexy

[wombat712 2]

Nurseamy - your tummy is FANTASTIC!!! Just beautiful :confused:

I'm back on the fence about PS. I know I want it and I know I could see great results from my yucky tummy - and God knows the "twins" need lifting in a MAJOR way!

Hmmm, maybe I should start sharing all y'alls success pictures w/ DH and he'd be more willing to get me some PS!!!! :hurray:

Hey Amy, I am a little slow lol. I have been following your progress on makemeheal.com and it never occured to me this was you. Like I said, I am a little slow. I posted over their how great you look and wanted to second that here. Great results. Good to know there are other Lap Banders over there. I know there is me, Nina, LJM and you. Congrats

Amy,

Nurseamy,

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU LOOK FABULOUS! I'm going in for my TT, breast lift & Lipo on the outter thighs on Wednesday. I'm so excited. Not looking forward to the pain & being bent over, but no pain no gain right! Thanks for posting your pictures & giving the updates.

Okay, NurseAmy...we're ready for an update here! You know me...I am watching with extreme interest. I didn't know that about Adams' bellybuttons. I did notice that my co-worker's was a little red, though looked completely normal, and I wondered if she might have stitches inside. She's looking fantastic (though she was used to wear more "floppy" tops to hide her belly and now she says she looks in the mirror and she feels a little too "boobalicious" (now that she has a perfect hourglass!)...I really laughed because she looks so GREAT!)). How is the scar doing? Does he do really pretty work like they say?

[nurseamy 2]

Have you checked out my pictures on my make me heal link???? I am waiting to take anymore scar pictures.He said I have 3 layers of dissolvable sutures so it will flatten out but it freaks be out!! Plus my recovery has been a litte "backwards" I now feel like crap ,all my Lipo areas were numb for so long I can now feel them and It is very hard to stand up straight.It just feels weird,tight,and very uncomftorable.I am in the what the hell did I do stage!!! I am going on vacation monday..hopefully relaxing so hopefully I will feel better next week. I will update picture then.My bellybutton is looking ALOT better!!Take Care!

You know I don't like these bad reports about the Lipo. I'm finally standing up straight and the lipo's not hurthing that bad. I guess I'll get prepared just in case. Have fun on your trip.

yeah, karey, im concerned about the Lipo too.. nina said it was the most painful part and i've had very minimal pain there (wondering if they even did it - if it werent for the bruising i'd really wonder)...

the only discomfort i have is the intense itching now. as in wake me up at 3am and itch so horribly i wanna keel over...

if it weren't for the itching, i'd be about 98% back to 'normal'... been working on my walking, drove alone today (had DH with me yesterday) and went shopping.

how are you feeling today Karey?

amy - have a fabulous, relaxing vacation!

Amy - I just looked at your pics on MMH and our 'ridge' is very similar . . . And, my legs are really sore where the Lipo was done too.

And, I was 'up' 3 pounds today when I weighed - I am hoping it is from having been 'up' for several days in a row. There is no way I've eaten enough to gain 3 pounds in the last few days . . . :smile2:

That makes me feel better that our "ridge" is similiar because I like your Drs explaination for the ridge.Because I do not think mine is because of swelling(I was down to 136 today:ohmy:)I am just going to try and not worry for a while ..atleast a week .LOL I told my husband if the margaritas do not make me feel better on vacation then I am just giving in and taking my pain med during the day,because I do not want to be miserable the whole vacation.I do not take my pain med during the day just at night but I am miserable during the day with the "stiffness feeling" I have read so many post that everyone was off thier pain meds so soon .I feel like a druggy needing them on week 3 :sad: I cried to my husband yesterday(who did not want me to do this) "Why did I do this" and he said just be patient and you will be so happy! I was so suprised by his response but am trying to keep that in mind!!!!

Amy,

so sorry your feeling down. glad you got such a great reaction from your DH though!!

and dont worry about who's on or off their pain meds, everyone's journey is unique... you had a heck of a lot of work done. enjoy your vacation!
