Tummy Tuck next Wednesday!

Thanks for posting this information. I carried twins full term, both more than 7 pounds (each!) and 20 inches (each!) I also need a tummy tuck. I would love to find out how you found your surgeon and any advice you may have. I am so excited for you!

Wow!! You totally deserve a "mommy makeover"! That's amazing! Well, I live in Calgary & did my research by looking for local plastic surgeons in the area & then narrowing down by doing more research in to what other people had said about their results and experience. I think the website is ratemds.com or somethign like that. My surgeon is in practice with his father who really brough the tummy tuck and boob job to Canada haha. They both have an amazing reputation & I liked all of his credentials. I can't lie, my consultation wasn't warm, friendly, supportive, and reassuring & I found the nurses were there just for the business. I left the consultation with a booked appointment but feeling a little blue. So, right now I'm going off of just what I've read from other people & relying on his skill & reputation rather than personality...a bit sad I must admit. My recomendation would be to have a consultation with a couple of surgeons, take a look at their books with before and afters, and see which one would be a better fit for you!!!

Hey again everyone! Surprisingly, I'm feeling really great! The muscle repair is what makes me a bit uncomfortable, but overall, it's super enjoying just laying on the couch hehe. I just got a small peak at my results while i was laying horizontal at the hospital & it looked strange, like my stomach had caved it. I was reassured that this is normal because of the tight binder. I'm going to dare to take a shower tonight & get a better look & maybe take a new photo for the blog.

I ended up having to stay the night at the hospital because I kept fainting! They were trying to get me to get up to use the washroom before I could go, and I was feeling really good, but I'd start the process of getting & I'd just go black & my skin was turing ghost white! My poor boyfriend, I think that scared him a lot & the nurses & doctor didn't want to send me home like that for him. It was probably good because he needed & deserved to get in some rest before taking care of me. I haven't been able to sleep more than 15mins-1hour at a time. Somehow, I feel like I have good energy. It's strange not having an appetite at all though. I've been trying to get myself to drink lots of juice, crackers and fruit just to make sure the meds don't get me feeling bad.

Anyways...that's the report for now...I smell really bad haha, kinda nervous about the shower, but overall, it's just a really surreal experience laying here!! Yah!!!
