Quoted message said:So, that's what I decided to do. I had the surgery on Sept. 24th. The lipo
part wasn't so bad (although you stay sore for quite some time) and the
tummy tuck part wasn't particularly painful either, although you end up
with a big ole incision, but wow does the muscle repair hurt. I had about
3500ccs of fat removed with the lipo and I'm not sure how much got scooped
out for the abdominoplasty, but I'm guessing several lbs.
Congrats, Martha.
Recommendation: Be careful NOT to gain it back. If you do begin to gain
weight again, you will find that the fat will accumulate in
non-liposuctioned areas of your body (back of neck, back, arms....). If you
think you were disproportioned before, gain 30 lbs and see where it goes.
EEK!!!!
If you do decide to become pregnant, try to gain no more than the doctor's
recommendation. Otherwise, you will have gone through all of what you had
for nothing.
