Ready to See my New Tummy! Tummy Tuck With MR and Vertical Scar - Atlanta, GA

I am a mother of two and have a wonderful husband but I have wanted a mommy makeover in forever but I was too chicken to do both surgeries at once. So now its my turn for a skin only tummy tuck with no muscle repair (doctors recommendation). At first, I was scared of the full scar and was only interested in getting a mini tummy tuck but later decided why not get the full and pray that my scar will heal nicely and not be so long! Yes I am terrified of scars...LOL. I work out about 5x a week and was tired of being so frustrated with my stomach not looking like the rest of my body. Not only do I want to be able to wear a two piece bikini but a two piece workout outfit and not feel self conscious about my wrinkly stomach. The joke amongst my husband and friends is that I say my stomach looks like Freddy Cougar...hey I have to laugh at something to stay sane about this stomach.
On another note I am 118 pounds and can't wait for the day however I know the hardest part for me will be not being able to workout....ugh. My doctor and husband are making me promise to stick to the 6 week rule but I am so not looking forward to that. Any other ladies who workout alot? What did you do to stay sane? LOL! I am so nervous its not even funny. 2 years ago I had a BA and was not near as nervous as I am now.... I haven't told many about this surgery mainly because I always get the girl are you crazy look. And I have to say no I am not crazy but I just know how I want my body to look. I am blessed to have two wonderful kids and the battle scars to prove it however its time for mommy to get her body back! Anyways wish me luck and thanks to all the other reviews!!

So my date is has been moved up a day! Woo-hoo!! One day closer to the flat side...LOL. I have my pre-op tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for 10:00 am on April 2 nd...I can't wait. I will have to be honest and say I did go through a period of questioning myself. I have been asking myself am I a vain person for this? I look great in clothes and then I smacked myself out of it and realized me having this surgery is not saying I am not thankful and happy for my body...but I just want my body back and I am a goddamn tiger who earned her stripes after having kids!!! I have been sticking to my healthy diet and working out because I am hoping this will make recovery a little better.
Has anyone's doctor told them to stop drinking certain shakes? I will confirm tomorrow but this is what his coordinator told me when she called to change the appointment. Otherwise, I am ready and counting down the days!
