New Body Here I Come!!

Hello,

I am a 28yr old who has 3 beautiful children ages 9,7,4. I am a small town girl who has always been active and love to do outdoor activities. When I was 15 I had an ovarian cyst removed that was an emergency opperation due to the fact that it was the size of a basketball! This left me with the beggining of a pouch on my 5'2 small boned frame. After birth control and left me with more weight added I got pregnant and added even more! With each child I gained a min of 20lbs. So by the time I hit 25 I was up to 250lbs. I knew i was depressed and I hated my body but my wake up call wasnt until my mother passed away from an inherited genetic dissorder that i realized I beter get a handle on this if i wanted to live past 46.

So when my husband joined the military i decided I wanted him to come home to a new and improved me for a new and improved life. After 7 months of training in 2009 he came home to a wife that had lost 100lbs (all naturaly,no surgery or procedures) and felt great about herself! But even after losing all that weight I didnt feel as if I was happy with how I looked. I still have a huge amount of skin that hangs down and pockets of fat that i just cant reach with my diet and exercise. This is where I decided to look into a tummy tuck.

My husband was deployed to Iraq in sept 2010 and will be returning sometime this sept so he will yet again see a different wife when he returns. My surgery is scheduled for Aug 2nd. (tomarrow!!) at 10 am. Now I am totally freaking out right this moment even as I write this but I know that I will be so much happier to not have a huge flap of skin that flopps around whenever I do any exercise or run or anything. (I call it the click tongue, like on the move "click") lol.... anyways I plan on taking some before pics later today and I will definatly post some after as well.. I am so excited! The only part I am truely worried about is having the genetic dissorder that my mother had. It is a connective tissue dissorder which leaves me bruising very very easily and affects all connective tissue. I havent had a problem with any of my other abdominal surgeries before ( the cyst removal, c-section, hernia repair) but this is a huge thing for me to undergo. The surgeon assures me that if I have healed ok from the other surgeries that I should do fine with this one as long as I follow his instructions to a T.

So in short, New body here I come!!!
