29 WKS POST OP..LOVING MY FLAT BELLY!!!

hello everyone i am new to this site and i would also like to share my experience w all u! i am a mother of 2 beautiful children daughter 6 and son 2...both delivered via c sec! ever since i had my daughter i have always wanted to have a tummy tuck and now that both my husband and i have agreed were done w babies i am going to give myself this present!!

i am scheduled to have my surgery in 3 weeks!!=)4-3-12!! i have a small frame 4'11 and currently weigh 135....hoping to loose 5-8 pds prior to having surgery if not i wont beat myself up for it! before my first pregnancy i weighed about 120-125 so i have never been super thin i am curvy and im ok w that, i gained about 60 pds w my first preg weighing 180 or so..so i was stretched out..i looked like a meatball..lol especially being short n all anyways..did not go back to my pre preg weight i was able to loose 40 pds and was depressed about the pouch that comes along w c sections!!ugghh prior to my 2nd pregnancy i was able to loose 6 pds so i was 134 and again i gained 50 pds!! i was able to loose the weight and went back to 127 so i lost 56 pds w excercise and eating small portions.currently i weigh 134 i kinda let myself go a lil but i am determined to loosing a few pds before surgery i would like to weigh 115-120 pds thats my goal!!

overall i would just like to have my excess skin and stretch marks removed so that i can let my hubby see me naked!!lol and so that i dont have to try on 50 outfits before feeling ok with one of them!!lol i would like to have a flat tummy and my 28'' waist back!!! at first my husband didnt approve but i am doing it for myself even though ive had some feelings of selfishness i feel i do soo much for everyone else and never for myself so i will try not to think that way!!

i had my pre op with my doc on tues 3-13-12 was a lil nervous but being w her and talking to her made me feel 100x's better so i know im in good hands...i am an ultrasound tech and will take 2 weeks off wk so im hoping thats enough time...my first c sec was ok but my 2nd was like whatever i was walking that same day and cooking 3 days after so my doc said c sec are worst since they tear ur skin layers, ur abd muscles and your uterus..as opposed to a tummy tuck only MR and that bigo scar..i m going to stay positive and hope to heal well and fast!!one day at a time...any suggestions as to what to do prior to surgery?is it ok to do a cleanse prior to surgery?i still have to do labwork and pick up my meds..oh n=by the way i am getting full tummy tuck with muscle repair lipo of the flanks upper abd included and im also getting micro body contouring (which is a sort of lipo treatment with laser jets it has less trauma,bruising and they tighten skin and faster healing time)on my lateral back for the bra roll,my jiggly arms and my neck!!i have a fat face!!lol theyre also going to give me free velashape treatments to use anywhere id like which is awesome!!my husban d will be taking care of me hes taking a week off wk so im ill be ok!!i keep reading stories on here that are very motivating and really all the information on here is super helpful i hope the information i give will help someone in the end!but now i need to start making a list of all the things on here that i might find useful!thx to all for ur reviews and pictures!god bless!!I WILL POST PIXS UP OF MY PRE OP BELLY AS SOON AS I GET A CHANCE BUT WARNING IS ADVISED MAY NOT BE APPEALING!!LOL
