I gained 60 pounds with each of my 3 pregnancies! I am currently 5'3 and 142 pounds. I have been left with a large amount of saggy skin on my abdomen. I have wanted a tummy tuck for 2 years now. I finally made an appointment with a plastic surgeon and had my first consultation.

He suggested a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck with lipo of the flanks in order for me get the desired look I want! All I need to do now is schedule the appointment! I am just so scared. I am worried about complications and the amount of pain that I am seeing from posts on here! I know this is what I want, I just have to do it!

I am scheduled for the 31st of this month!! Less than 2 weeks away! I'm excited and super nervous at the same time! I changed my plan at my pre-op the other day. I'm not having lipo anymore. Getting a breast lift instead!' Hope the anxiety doesn't kill me before my big day!!

Estimated total surgery time for TT, MR, BL, and hernia repair is 6-8 hours!!! This seems like a long time to be under anesthesia!!

Am I remembering correctly that your next op is this week? Wednesday? If so...wanted to say good luck and wishing you the best!!!!

Very sweet of you to remember!! Unfortunately, I had to postpone the surgery. I developed an infection under the skin at one of my scars and he had to make a small hole to drain. He thought it best to wait a little longer for it it heal and be completely infection free which I agree with!! It is healing nicely and I will have the surgery in another month or so. I didn't want to have it during the summer but I also don't want to wait til the fall!!! I will let you know when I have the date scheduled! Thank you so much for remembering me. Hope you are doing well!! On the upside, since no surgery to tomorrow, LiveNLearn and I are going shopping in Philly for a few days and I can't wait!

Oh my. Hope it wasn't too serious! Glad ya'll are being safe though. Wouldn't want anything to mess with your recovery! ....and, if you have to postpone surgery, next best thing would be shopping!! Enjoy Philly.... :)

You look great! How's your recovery been?

Clarks Summit3299 1 Mar 2013

I have a very easy revovery! One small infection at the T of the breast lift, which was never painful, just annoying!! I have been very lucky and pain free since first week!

Anewmesoon 1 Mar 2013

That's wonderful! I hope to be like you! I'm getting a TT and BL on April 12. Very similar stats to you. I gained a lot of weight before and after four pregnancies. I've lost 70 lbs over the past few years and now I'm 142lbs at 5'4. Glad it's going so well for you!
