I made it!! I had my tt with muscle repair and lipo of the flanks yesterday. I feel pretty good got up to go to the bathroom by my self. I def would recommend the pain pump. It really helps a lot. I just have a lot of soreness and some burning. I also feel itchy all over. Did any of you get itchy? Can't wait till more time goes by. Happy healing:)_

Hi kimmers! Im getting excited,but so many thoughts r going through my head. Like what if I don't wake up, why am I putting myself on this long road to recovery. I even thought of backing out, but I know I have to do this for myself.

The pain is all temporary and you can do this!  You carried and delivered  three children so you can definitely do this.  

In my book the tummy tuck recovery was much easier than the 29 hours of back labor and c-section I went through.

I too was pregnant all out in front and at 32 years old am embarrassed of my body. I actually get depressed when swimsuit season is near since I can only wear a one piece. Do you have any recommendations for me as far as doctors? I live in the area also and would love to have the surgery performed at the new Elmhurst hospital.

Hi HM80! I know how you feel. I dread when the warm weather hits. Im so looking forward to wearing a two piece this year! I have a doctor I really like. Her name is Alexandrina Saulis. She is in Hinsdale.Her # is (630)920-9404. I love the fact that the hospital is Elmhurst. Ive heard lots of good things about it. Hope this helps! keep me posted:)
