I have been addicted to this wonderful web site since I started my tummy tuck journey the beginning of October 2014. I am a 34 yr old mother of two my youngest is 17 months. I will be getting married to my long turn bf this spring! I have wanted a tummy tuck since my first child, which was 15 years ago. I never thought I would be able to do it but I have been blessed. I am so happy and scared at the same time, I have so many emotions. Overall I want my surgery and recovery to run as smoothly as possible. I am 5ft and 150 lbs. I was 115 before children but I think I was too skinny and my breast were too big. My ideal wght is about 135, I don't want to loose my curves and I don't want to be skinny. I am getting a full tummy tuck with lipo of the flanks. My ps said he doesn't recommend muscle repair because it wouldn't be worth the pain. This is the only thing that concerns me, if I'm getting this done I want it done right and to my satisfaction. I wonder if there is anyone who had full tt and lipo without mr. I would love for my waste to be about a size 24 and my stomach to be really flat, with no love handles of back roll..lol I am counting down the days, 10 more and by the grace of God I will be on the flat side!!! If anyone can offer some advice I would really appreciate it.

Hello everyone!! I hope you all are doing well and if you're in the Midwest I hope you're keeping warm! I have been so busy with school, kids, preparing for the holidays, and trying to make sure I'm ready for Monday (my big day). I am a NERVOUS wreck!! It seems like I'm running out of time and I haven't finished half the things I need to get done. I went to pick up the last of my meds and my ps prescribed my celebrex..It was a freakin 214.00! I left it at the pharmacy because I had no idea it was that much. Is this something that you all took, or is it there a substitute? I know its a pain med but I also have percocet, valium, and was told to take 81mg of aspirin. Is the celebrex really necessary or can I take ibprofen? I'm a little sad that I won't be able to hold my 1 year old and I won't be able to sleep in my bed. PLEASE keep me in your prayers, I have ONE more day before I'm on the flatside and I can't focus on much on anything else. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
