So Glad I DID IT! Worth It!

I wanted to put this up now instead of waiting...so I answered some of the required fields with what I am hoping for....

I am 28, 5foot 7inches, 115pounds and a mom of two children. I have an 11 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. I had my son when I was 17 and it destroyed my body. I have so much loose skin...i have to tuck it into my clothes. I met my husband 6 years ago and I always joked with him that I wanted him to just cut it and do me a huge favor. I had always spoke of getting a tummy tuck but never imagined I would get it so soon in life. My husband mentioned to me that if I stop smoking maybe we could look into the procedure. I finally did it on December 27th of 2008 and have not touched them since.

I have read all of the reviews and i am very nervous and scard. I had a breast augmentation in May of 2004 and that was not bad at all and I even had 2 drains!

I am counting down and I figured I would introduce myself and put my present picture up.

I had 2 consultations and finally ended up choosing my doc on the third try. He is the most expensive but has the best reputation and I think he will take very good care of me. The only thing that im not sure is normal is that...it seems like it done really quick with not many appointments. I went in on my consultation and he took pics and sold me on the procedure. I paid for 10% that day and they took measurements and told me to pick a day. I then called over last week and pd the rest over the phone and then today I got my rx in the mail.

SOOOOOO I just go in on the date of procedure and thats it????????

Does anyone have any advise on preparing me for the procedure???...like what to have bought before???

Well I had the surgery yesterday morning and everything seems okay so far.  I went back in to the doc today and seen it....wow....low incision and a pretty belly button!  I am so happy so far.  He said he took 7 inches of skin off my belly and it lasted about 3 hours for just a full tummy tuck.

My incision does not hurt really at all but my ads above my belly button are sooooo tight!  Its very uncomfortable and almost restricting my breathing.

I feel better every hour and will post some pics in a couple of days.
