A fantastic difference. Fills me with hope if I get lucky with funding for how good things could work out for the rest of us.

Thank you for your kind words. I hope u do manage to get funding but I know it's a postcode lottery for it. You have really helped me through

Mutual support works both way Hun thank you. As for my funding I assume I won't get it then if I do it's fantastic of I don't I'm mentally if not emotionally prepared. No doubt it will still be a great disappointment if I don't but for me assuming the worst is better than rosey dreams. Lol

I'm very much the same I think like that to lol. Just read ur post on another thread and I totally see ur point of being scared and putting ur family through things. I was exactly the same. Even right up till my day of surgery I had doubts. Ur husband sounds like a fantastic man! And as for wanting it for vanity reasons (I know ur reffering to urself no obe else) I'm sure there will be other reasons to and if not after all u have achieved do u not deserve it??
My reasons were vanity and I had skin conditions rash and my belly button was closed over causing it to sweat and smell not to sweet lol x

Thank you. Yeah I know deep down it's not vanity & yep my belly button isn't pleasant not my old appendix scar that's gets red & soar & infected regularly. Because that side goes in because of the scar & the other hangs down & the belly folds over my hysterectomy scar & folds in on its self to it is something that is more than vanity but I can't help thinking that's what others will think of me having it done. Just the way my mind works. A touch of my mental health & self image challenges. I'm in a whole at the moment so self doubts, tiredness etc etc take over & go round & round. I'll get there just feeling sorry for myself. Lol

I have been catching up on posts. Glad everything is going well. I haven't been around in ages because I started my surgery journey in October. I had a breast up lift and implants and arm reduction. Now I am two weeks post tummy tuck and thigh lift. The recovery is feeling like it's never going to end. The pain is mostly gone. It's just a bloody Seroma that's annoying me at the moment. But, never mind it will be worth it this summer.

Wow!! u are so brave to have all that surgery in so little time. I still don't feel 100 % after my tummy tuck and that was in August. I had a seroma after my tummy tuck. Hope ur feeling better soon x

I have to say it has been quite a wild ride. I don't think I would necessarily recommend four procedures in two months. But, I suppose at least it's all over with. My boobs and arms were mostly low pain and no issues. Even my thighs which I thought would have been a nightmare have not been so bad. But, my tt and the bloody leaky seroma are a nuisance. I had 600 mls drained off the other day. It has slowed now. But, it is definitely a huge op to put your body through. I have four year old twins as well which makes resting nearly impossible. lol

Wow just been thinking and it's over a year for my tt now. How times flies! Hope anyone out there waiting for or thinking of a tt has thought long and hard about it. I wouldn't say I regret my decision but my stomach still isn't right now. Here's some pics of now.

You still look amazing you have done so well Becky xx

Thanks Chris. U have been a fantastic support for me throughout it all u really have!
Hopefully I will get an appointment with the surgeon through soon and I can ask him why I'm not back to "normal" lol xx
