Having a tummy tuck , and breast lift on August 11th! After losing almost 160 pounds I feel this is the next step in my journey! But, I'm scared of the pain! I know it only improves after the first couple of days, but dang I'm nervous!
I'm fortunate that I work at the surgery center, and am getting a 20% discount (this is nice!!). Makes the total cost, for both surgeries just over $8000.00, that I don't think is too bad! Of course insurance isn't paying! I was hoping for a rash some where that would qualify me for insurance payment, but no such luck! Thankfully my husband considers this to be part of the process too! Plus, other surgeries will be necessary (butt/thighs, and arms too!) after these!
Any advice is appreciated for making it through the post op period! Will the pain deter me from having the other surgeries? I'm curious about any experiences!
Tia!!

Congratulations on a successful weight loss. I don't have any personal experience with the lifts and tucks but friends have said it's worth it even though there was pain.0

Yay! I'm envious. I still have a little way to go and need to spend some time stabilizing but I'd love to have my stomach done. I can feel my six pack under there!
...and boobs. They are a sad state of affairs.1
