WORTH IT$11,500
My girls are 14 and 12. I have been wanting to do this surgery for over 10 years. Finally at the point in our lives where we can afford it and I don't have to feel to guilty (even though I still do). I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Trying to put it out of my head a little bit so I don't obsess over it too much.
Found this site a few weeks ago and have been going on it a lot and reading other ladies experience. Thanks so much for sharing your stories for us who haven't gone through it yet. I would rather hear all the details instead of just a sugar coated version. Makes me understand what I am getting myself into.
I do have pics of what I look like now. Just have to get them off my phone.
Anyone else scheduled to have theirs around the same time?
Looking forward to chatting with others about their experinces and becoming who we really are underneath all the extra stuff :)

Love the fact that I can post pics so I can have an easy reference of what I looked like pre-surgery. Once I post these they will be deleted off my phone. :)

It looks like things are going well for you in your healing process. I have a few months yet so I'm really trying to put it in the back of my mind. Not doing very well at that. I've been dreaming about it ugh...

Yes I had a few strange dreams too. I've been saying for years 'one day I'm going to get a tummy tuck' but it didn't really seem real until I handed the money over and then it was just this surreal time until I stood getting the lines drawn on me. Then I woke up in recovery and the healing crisis began. Only just a few days ago when I was really feeling safe again, I realised I that I had achieved that life long dream. You will be there soon too.

I know it is a ways off but best of luck on your surgery and preparing for it. If you haven't "met" Kimmers25 on here yet she is the community manager and has all kinds of good and interesting information as well as having a great sense of humor.

3 months from today I will be beginning my recovery journey to my body that I have been missing for over 14 years. I only made the surgery date a couple of weeks ago but feel that I truly made it in my head over 10 years ago. Now I wait and the waiting is driving me crazy. I am even dreaming about it now and wake up disappointed that it isn't done yet. Any one else do that? So now I wait.....trying to remind myself that it'll be here before I know it. Thanks ladies for all the updates. It makes me truly understand what I am getting myself into.

That's a good idea to buy items here and there. Good luck with your surgery as well sounds like we are going to be recovery buddies.

The wait is hard especially since you have been planning it for years! I got so anxious before my procedure. Not because of the actual surgery part but just because of the wait. It will be worth it to feel better about yourself!

Your time is coming! Until then, prepare, prepare, prepare! Mentally and physically.
