I am a 24 years old & after losing just over 9stones in weight I have decided to have a tummytuck! I carry all the loose skin on my tummy and it disgusts me:( surgery is scheduled for 21s May, I am so excited, but terrified at the same time. I know this is what I want to do & I dont want my hideous tummy holding me back my whole life! Id love to speak with someone who has has this done for a bit of moral support:) my family & friends are great, except they don't really understand how I feel. Will post some before pics when I get a wave of confidence!
thanks girls :) [RS bleep]

I am scheduled for my TT with Lipo on May 25 th.I am excited but nervous as well.I Feel like this tummy is holding me back from enjoying my life.My husbands family has a lake house and we spend almost the whole summer there.I am so uncomfortable with my body that it sickens me.I feel like I am gonna be free...How do you feel about the scar?i just hope it is covered by a bikini ...I really want to parade around in my bikini!

That is exactly how I feel, Its like even when I am covered up,i can still feel it all there...hanging..it makes me sick! We are going to feel amazing afterwards I am sure:D I've thought little about the scar really,I figured that although its going to be big, my tummy is going to look normal. I know in time it will fade as well. I joke with my friends that we are having a "belly top party" after my op! hahaha, I just wanna run along the beach in a bikini with my daughter with having to "hold" my skin, actually I'd like to run up the stairs without holding it so it does not make that horrible flapping noise! Have you been given any tips on things to buy for in hospital or at home?

yes..just yesterday I bought a bed buddy.It is a long slender ice pack but is covered with cloth.I heard the tummy is numb a lot of times after surgery and ice can burn your skin.So I thought this joule be perfect.I also bought Milk of Magnesia for obvious reason!!hahah..Oh and I bought Hibiclens.I got this at Target.My ps advised me to shower Nd wash with this very good the night before.Cuts down on bacteria on the skin.What about you?
