Hi everyone I'm new to this forum but have found everyones stories and experiances so positive and helpful. I like many of you have thought about getting a tummy tuck for years my first baby is now 32! I ended up having to have a c section which was fine and went on to have a further 3 children. I have always hated the look of my tummy and my stretch marks go rightup beyond my belly button! I could live with that but the skin below my c section and the loose skin I think looks hiddious, my husband has always been lovely about it however, but knows how selfconcious I am about getting undressed in front of him and my girl friends. I finally started to think seriously about getting it done last year and now that the decision is made feel very positive about it, I'm sure nearer the timethough I will be asking myself what I amdoing lol.Please keep in touch I find all your stoies so helpful and inspiring thank you.

Hi! I hope you are as excited as I am about our upcoming TT! Mine is 11 days away and I can hardly wait. I will be 60 years old this year and am so happy I am finally doing this. The more I read on here, the less anxious I am. I sat for 2 days when I found this site and absorbed everything I could. so, glad you are here, and thank you for sharing your story.

Hi no I don't have any health issues, my blood pressure was a little high just before my opp but they said that was totally normal. I'm sure you will be properly monitored all the best x

Hi everyone Can anyone tell me why some people can shower after only a couple of days, while others like myself have been told not to remove the dressings or get the area wet .I have to go back and see my ps in 7-10 days they are going to send me an appointment, I was told to sponge bath. I will find this really hard as usually shower in the morning and bath at night.My drains came out today only my second day,&-10 days seems a long time not to have my incicion checked.
