I am 38 year old,165 pound and 5'5. I am a mother of 2 wonderful kids, age 13 and 10. I bounced right back with the first, the second was not so kind. I gained 50 pounds and a huge belly that I can not get rid of. I have lost 40 pounds in the last 18 months and still could stand to lose 20 more. I have a close friend who works at the PS office as a nurse, and they gave me a great deal, and I love the PS so I booked as soon as I saved the money. My husband told me that when I got the weight off, we would spring for a tummy tuck, and I held him to that! I have had a few surgeries on my stomach so I think I am prepared for the pain and the recovery. I have taken 2 weeks off work and can work half days if I need after that. I am not such a fan of working out, but if I am going to spend this kind of money on my body, I will make sure that I keep it looking great! I am trying to talk husband into an elliptical and I am starting a workout regime to get a few more pounds off before the surgery. I am not ready to put up pictures yet, but I am working up to it, the review is the first step. Hopefully pictures are next

I added pictures. I am telling myself that these will help me after the TT to see what has changed, but I really don't want to look at them ever again

Wow, I can't believe how similar we are. I'm also in metro Atlanta, I'm 39 and I gained approx 50 when I was pregnant with our son (only child). I have extensive diastasis and he said he would have a hard time making my stomach look sunken inward. I said, we're in business because I'm not eclectic

Oops! That didn't make a lick of sense! We had a power surge and my computer went berserk! LOL It was supposed to say that since I have such extensive diastasis (from what he could tell just by examining me) that he wont be able to give me that concave, sunken in, six-pack look I'm hoping for. I told him, We are in business because I wasn't expecting those things. I just wanted people to quit asking when my baby is due.Anyway, I'm scheduled for 2/28. Keep us posted on you! :-)

Pre-op is tomorrow! I am scared and excited all in one. I hope to lose a little more weight before my surgery, 22 days to go. I would like 10-15 pounds, but 10 might be more reasonable. I think the pre-op will give me a boast to get my diet and exercise going again. Wish me luck!

I had my pre op yesterday and feel like weight has been lifted. I have really been stressing about the pictures and paperwork and just finalizing this entire procedure. I went in right on time and they made me feel comfortable and calm. Lol. I am happy to report that he will be flipping me over to do lipo on my lower back so I will have smooth results all around. The ps and the nurses really seem to be excited about my results and they think I will be very happy. They said I will lose tons of inches and need to buy all new clothes. I think they are excited because I have really thin arms and legs so all the weight is in the areas he will be lipo-ing and removing with TT. Now I need to get everything I need together so I'm totally prepared and I can just worry about healing. Everything else can work itself out.
