I am scheduled for a full tummy tuck and breast augmentation on May 26. I have contemplated having this done for over a year. I lost about 35 pounds and have worked out regularly. I had two c-sections, and have the "pooch" that comes with that. I have excess skin, but not a whole lot. My boyfriend says I don't need it. I just want to be able to wear slim fitting clothing without the belly "pooch". Since scheduling surgery, I am second guessing myself. Wondering if I should spend all this money, and now I have been reading about the long recovery process. I had no problems recovering from my c-sections, and I guess I was thinking the tummy tuck recovery would be similar. It sounds like it is going to be much worse. I am for some reason worried about the "loss of belly button". I saw a picture on this site...and it is awful!! How often does that happen, does anyone know? I guess it is natural to second guess, and worry. Especially since most people say there is nothing wrong with my tummy. I will try to post a picture so you can see.
