The countdown begins, on January 8th I'll be having a tummy tuck done after contemplating it since the birth of my daughter 7 years ago. Luckily, I didn't because I went on to have our son almost 3 years ago. Now that my family is complete, it's time! I had two c-sections due to the weight of my babies both 10+ pounds. Prior to pregnancy, I loved my body! I always had beautiful abs and quite honestly had no idea my stomach could ever look like this after pregnancy. I went to 2 separate doctors for consultations. I spoke to them about both a tummy tuck and some sort of breast aug. I felt the first doctor was telling me what I wanted to hear and when he told me 600ccs would be the perfect size for me I decided to seek another opinion. My stomach is my #1 priority and although I would like a little more volume in my breasts, they don't look half bad in a push-up bra. I waited over a year to choose a second doctor to consult with. I felt she had a much better understanding of what I was looking for. In the end, I'm just having the tummy tuck done. I'm a little nervous about recovery since my son is fairly attached to me. I will have someone with me for the first 5 days. I bounced back fairly quickly from the c-sections, hoping that's somewhat of an indicator. Wish me luck!

Before Pics- Wednesday is the big day!
Ok. Took some before photos. Nerves have settled a bit but I'm sure tomorrow night I won't be able to sleep. Hoping for a fairly decent recovery and awesome results. My biggest fear is an ugly belly button!

You look great and will look amazing after the tt! I know how you feel about the attachment with your son, my 1 year old is my shadow. I am now 4 days post op and snuggle with him as much as I can, which isn't much since he's a wiggly little thing. I also bounced back from c-section fairly quickly but this is a whole other beast, so take good care of yourself and let it happen naturally and gently. Your body is the best indicator, good luck and sending you positive thoughts!

Thanks for the comments. That's what I was worried about, "a whole different beast"! Initials thoughts, are you happy you went through with it?

I ♥ your username :) Good luck on the 8th! You'll be so happy when all is said and done!

So far I am. When I said that about being a different beast, I meant that, the pain you feel is all over versus centralized where the c-section was. I had lipo on back and hips along with the tt so the pain is around my entire torso. The tummy section feels extremely tight, as in can't laugh, cough, sneeze, blow your nose, etc. without awful sharp pain. It's similar to the c-section in that you cant get up/sit down and do certain movements by yourself. I have heard of other women who thought that c-sections are worse, I think it's totally a personal preference. I love my results so far, I was second guessing myself until I saw what I looked like, then it felt worth it. I am just impatient when it comes to recovering. Don't let that scare you off. It's all temporary!!

No lipo here, although I'm concerned I put on a little weight since my original consultation and might benefit from it. I'm a spring/summer runner and my weight fluctuates. I've heard it's a deep pain, lots of back pain. Everyone is different, hoping for the best. Good luck in your recovery!

Nerves are at ease!
Later today I'll get the phone call as to what time this is all going down. I'm such a planner, hoping everything falls into place. I'm planning on my husband just dropping me off and coming back to see me in recovery, is that an ok plan? Hope I can sleep tonight!

Congrats! Your gonna have GREAT results. When I got my breast reduction, my hubby took me up into the surgery center office drop off spot, gave his phone number for calling to pick up later, I hugged him and saw him again at pick up. Gonna do the same when I do my TT. Best wishes for a safe and speedy surgery.
