4 weeks from today I'm back in surgery......

Thanks Antonette!
Someone suggested getting a "donut" cushion....I'm thinking I'll first try sitting on a big fluffy (super soft) pillow I have.

You are so right about attitudes playing a part.....
Thanks for the support.

Hey Ruth,

You will do great!  The transfomation will be unbelievable.  I still can't get over the new shape!

good for you for taking baby steps in your PS journery!

Can't wait for the before and afters.  Make sure you take plenty of befores and pictures during your healing.

Later,

Hi Kelli!!
Thanks for the note.  You know I'll be taking lots of pictures and for sure will let you know when they are posted.  If my butt turns out 1/2 as good as yours I'll be happy.  :-)

Thanks
Ruth

The time will be here before you know it!  The backside of the LBL should be much easier than the TT.  It was for me anyway.  Hopefully this will be a smooth recovery for you!

Hi!!
Thanks for the encouraging news.  I kind of fear the butt augmentation / lift but am sure the Dr will gives me good pain killers so I'm not panicking (yet).  I'm glad to hear it wasn't as bad as the TT.

I'm already worrying about the Inner Thighplasty (long incision) which won't happen until Feb....how pathetic is that.  LOL

Thanks for the note, I always appreciate your encouragement!
Ruth

The next 4 weeks will go faster than you think!  I have to tell you that the butt augmentation is no joke and hurt so bad, but I am hoping your pain is better than mine!!  All in all though, it was worth having a nice toosh! 

Good luck!

Hi Jessica,
How long was it before you could sit or lay down without lots of pain?  I don't mind "uncomfortable" but don't like pain!
Was getting up from the chair difficult?
I'm a side sleeper and wondering if that will be possible...

Thanks!!
Ruth

The first 4 days were the worst.  I had to sleep on my back the first 2 days, and the pain was unbearable.  As soon as I started sleeping on my sides, it got much better.  Getting up wasn't too difficult for me, and I laid down most of the time.  Make sure you have a really really cushiony pillow to sit on, and that will help a lot!

Hi Ruth
 the back part of the TT is no problem now the augmentation that is another story, I also had some lipo on my back flanks I am getting lipo on my upper abdomen  I didn't have nor want the anchor cut but above my belly button you can see some fat deposits the skin is pulled tight and I can see fat deposits so he will remove them I am going to ask him if I need lipo on my arms I go on Wednesday for my pre-op appt and that is when we go over everything that he will do. and then the a.m. of surgery he will mark me. I will be in touch

I'm sure everything will work out great.  I don't think the recovery will be brutal.  I had the front and back done together and it was relatively easy.
