“Finally Getting my Flat Tummy Back, SURGERY MARCH 6TH!! - Dothan, AL”

I am a 36 yr old mother of two (13 year old and 17 months) daughters. I was always a small girl before I had my first daughter. My skin on my stomach has never been the same. After my first pregnancy I wanted a tummy tuck, just wasn't done having kids. My second daughter I carried really low and my lower tummy is worse.

Now over 13 years later I am getting my tubes tied and a tummy tuck at the same time. I worked in surgery assisting the plastic surgeon who is preforming my tummy tuck so I am very confident of the results I will receive. I am having my second consult next week on the 1st and scheduling my surgery!!! I am so excited I have wanted this for years!! I just want my confidence back and to fit into my clothes better.

2 day PO Well Last night I slept ok. My butt got sore from sleeping in the same position. I have to figure out something. I was hurting real bad last night had to wake up and take some pain meds. Everything is ok if Im on my pain meds and muscle relaxers...Hopefully the worst is over. Everyone says after day three it gets really better. I will take some post pics soon (really swollen right now).

4 weeks PO: I started my silicone scar treatment today. I've heard allot of good things about the silicone treatment. Over all swelling has gone down allot, I still swell in the evening real bad depending on what I do during the day. Most of my swelling is between my ribs and belly button. I've lost 3.5 inches in my waist and I am down 5lbs since pre surgery!!!!!
