I am a 41 year old mother of a 4 year old son and during my pregnancy I gained a lot of weight. So much so that I was left with a lot of abdominal loose skin and stretch marks. After years of trying to work out to flatten my stomach, I finally decided to go for a tummy tuck. My initial consult was scheduled for June 4, 2012. I had a lot of my initial questions answered and I left the office feeling really good about my decision to go through with the procedure. As the date approaches, I am feeling mixed emotions. Excited one day and scared the next. I invite you to share my journey and cheer me on through this process! I am looking forward to having six pack abs in the next few months.

I can relate to the excitement and then being scared! The emotions of just waiting for the surgery date are crazy:) I still have 7 weeks to go! Stay positive and keep thinking about that six pack.....I cannot even imagine myself with a flat belly:)

It's 27 days before my tummy tuck and today I scheduled my pre-op examination. It is scheduled for August 1st.
I'm still really excited about the procedure, but also a little scared. I'm praying that everything works out well and I have a quick and not very painful recovery.
