8 months later-feel good but not as flat as I was ...

I was always a small and thin child. At the age of 9 my parents got divorced and my Dad did the best he could but I turned to food for comfort(no one to blame but me). I have his shape-thin legs but a big tummy. I got up to about 200 lbs in college and decided at 19 it was time to go. I had one every diet in the past but nothing worked. I exercised and ate well and lost 60lbs. Met my hubbie after college and was always uncomfortable about my stomach as I literally had a spare tire that would not go no matter what I did!
2 children later and up and down with the pregnancies has only made my already disfigured stomach worse. I am 39 and it is time for me! I have maintained my weight of 145 for the past 5 years (I am 5 ft 5 inches) but can't wear jeans or have to go up sizes for clothes to not have my stomach show.
I have a loving family and healthy but need to get this fixed. I met with 3 drs and all said a tuck is the only way to go. I am booked for 11/15 and can't wait. Dr said I need an extended TT. My kids will go to my parents for 10 days while my hubbie takes care of me!
Will I be ok in a month for my hubbies' company party?
I am so scared but excited at same time!

I have to travel a month after for a business trip and I am struggling to tell kiddos or even what/if to tell them. Only my fav 5, most supportive in each life dept (work, neighbor, family and hubby) know.
Woo hoo! Removing that belly fat will be better for your health, too. No joke. I'm so glad you get to have this done. I think going to a party in a month is definitely realistic. You may be swollen still, so don't go buying any teensy dresses for the party at this point, but you should be up and around for sure.
