I have been thinking about having a tummy tuck for the last three years but was always too nervous to make the appointment for surgery. I will be 40 this year and decided that Im not going to put it off any longer. I've decided that this will be a gift to myself this year and have scheduled my surgery for the end of September! I can't even believe that I finally put the deposit down and scheduled the surgery date! It feels so real now....kinda scary and exciting at the same time. I've been following a lot of your ladies journeys and feel very inspired by so many of you. It is a great feeling to know that my thoughts and anxieties about doing this are very normal. About myself, I am a mom of two. I'm 5'7" and my weight has fluctuated between 140-155lbs. Both my pregnancies were normal, but bothbabies were about ten lbs. I went up to 19 with the first pregnancy and 210 with the second. This left me with loose skin on my belly which has always bothered me. A few years back I decided to see if I could make a difference on my own and went down to 133 lbs. I was happy with the way my body looked but it was still hard to hide the lose skin on my belly. Before surgery I would like to get down to 140 which means I need to loose about fifteen lbs in the next 2 1/2 months. I will post pre op pics soon. I have to download them on my computer because I guess I can't download them onto my proflie from my tablet. I am very grateful to all of u for posting your experiences. I will post pics soon.

so its been a while since i last posted but the anxiety is sure starting to kick in big time now!!!!!!! This week is my preop and I cant believe the time is so close! i guess from what ive read from you ladies on here that this feeling is normal.....i feel like I cant think of anything else. My biggest fear is the anesthesia.....fear of the unknown. If i didnt have small children it wouldnt b so intense but Im always thinking im deciding to put myself at risk when my children still really need me. It doesnt help that i finally told my mom last week and she seemed ok that day then called me a few days later and expressed the same exact fear im having which definetly doesnt help! On a better note, I did have an appointment with my general doctor for clearance and she did put me at ease (slightly) telling me that i am considered very low risk since I have nor have had any medical issues. She talked to me about how everyday life is full of risks and unknowns. She also told me to imagine the amount of people that have general anesthesia every day including small children. So anyway my husband keeps telling me Ill b fine. He will be home with me for six days after surgery. I was thinking about hiring a nurse for the first 24-48 hours. Has anyone done this? was it helpful? Take care for today. Ill post after my preop this week and upload some preop pics soon.

Wow i cant belive its just under a week for my tummy transformation to begin. Im still feeling anxious but also excited. I spent today shopping for supplies and tomm I will get my prescriptions filled and look for a toilet seat riser. Was hoping to find one at cvs or target but no luck at either place. I guess i have to go to a more specialized store. For prescriptions I have percocet and something for nausea (zofran i think). I have also asked for a couple of my friends to come help me for the first week the times my husband is working. Another exciting event is that I was able to meet one of the ladies I met through this site! I couldnt believe when I found out that we live in the same town! It was great to c her results over three months post op so I know what I have to look forward to!!!!!

51 year old mama planning a tummy tuck!

Hi everyone! I posted my reviews on my liposuction and breast that transfer on here in the past couple of years. And while I'm happy with the breast fat transfer, it gave me a cup increase in size from a B to a C cup, I was left with saggy, deflated skin from the liposuction and just plain distended tummy fro...
