Tummy Tuck with MR, Lipo on Flanks, Lower Back - Dallas, TX

I am a mother of three beautiful young kids ranging from 5,3,and 2. I had always worked hard to be a size 2 back in the days but it is getting difficult with the life with small kids! I have been thinking about this procedures for years now but I couldn't bear the thought of having this long scar across my body. I've tried to work out after each pregnancy but realized that no matter what I do and how much i lose, my abs muscles will never be the same, and the loose skin will always going to be there. I'm at peace with my decision to having this procedure done hoping to get back to my pre-pregnancy body! I'm still young enough (32) to enjoy sexy clothes and darn it I deserve it!! :)

I'm still back and forth on decision to lipo on my inner and outer thighs but I'm just afraid that the recovery time will be longer or more difficult. I need to recover fast and get back to my routine with work, family and kids! We are not having any help from anybody else since most of our family members live out of state. I'm terrify and oh so nervous!! I've read and done alot of reading but the 'what-ifs' are still inside my head! I love my surgeon's personality and his before and after pictures are amazing! I can't believe I only have 3 more weeks before having this done!! Ahhh...what did you ladies do to calm down your nerve beside valium?:) Will post before pictures soon.

Today I've mailed out all my payments to pay for the procedure in full! So there is no turning back! I've also decided on having my inner and outer thighs done as well. For some reasons, I'm not too scare any more but not excited either. I have had three c-sections with three kids so I kind of know what to expect after the surgery. I just hope it will go well and the pain will not be more than a c-section pain since I did so well with those! I remember at my last c-section, the nurse was so surprise at how well I did since I just 'swung out of bed' only a couple of hours after the surgery. I kind of nervous of the lipo more than the tummy tuck itself! I guess in my mind that the tummy tuck with muscle repair is the MUST HAVE, and the lipo is more like 'the icing on the cake' so I feel a bit guilty for having that. What if I'm not happy with the lipo? What if I ended up having saggy skin on my thighs? What if my surgeon did not take out either fat and I went through the pain for nothing?! hahah...I know these thoughts are just silly but I can't help but thinking about the what-ifs!..
I already picked up the solution to shower with the day before and on the morning of surgery, gauge pads, advils (can't find tylenol anywhere!) since there was a recall for it. I will be taking an early thanksgiving vacation this week and won't come back until next week. Once I get home, I will only have one week left before the surgery!! Yikes...

So I accidentally deleted my previous post!! I have 2 more days to go and I'm still 'numb' and don't know how I'm feeling...We are not telling anyone about this procedure so bless his heart, my husband will be handling 3 kids, work and me all by himself for at least one week. Gotta love that man since he's so supportive and has been so kind with this whole process. He understands that I'm doing this for me and that I've given up my body for 3 kids and I deserve to get it all back!! He was asking me about our summer vacation and was excited that I'll be okay by the summer....Ahhh...I don't think it hits me yet eventhough the hospital called me yesterday to confirm my registration. Dr's office said that they will call in for my medication tomorrow and I've been showering with Hibiglens...but still..not hitting me that I'm going through with it and that I will be having my skinny tummy by this weekend! :)
