2nd Visit to PS - Getting there but still a way to go! - Scotland, SD

Im due to have a tummy tuck on the 9th Jan 2013, through the NHS. Im very excited but also very nervous and worried about getting it done, Ive had 2 operations in 2 yrs one was a laparotomy back in 2011, I was then diagnosed with crohns disease, I kept getting infections in my wounds which left me with alot of keloid scar tissue, my scar runs from my bikini line right up to just below my boobs. the scaring is thick and raised and not very pleasant to look at and makes me feel very paranoid about what I wear, unfortunately the operation resulted in a unbilical hernia, which was repaired back in March this year, while they were opertating on me they found a further 3 hernias, again my wounds did not heal properly which led to another infection and more thickeniing of the scars, the man concern is that I have a pouch/overhang due to my stomach muscles not working anymore :-( If I dont get this sorted out, by the time im 50 I have been told that my overhang will stretch and drag down to my knees....... making my health on top of my crohns even worse. I will add photos this week :-) if I have the guts lol....
