DO it and Dont regret it!!

I'm here just like all of you, unhappy of my flabby belly, I work out 2 hrs a day for 5 days a week, I lost 30 pounds since last year. I'm 5'3 currently 155 pounds and dropping, goal is to be 135lbs. I'm doing a challenge at the gym so far I feel stronger daily,I have my first consult Thursday with Dr. Ira Rex in Fallriver MA. My fears are pain, scar and healing time, I have a wedding to attend to in May and hope to heal before then. But I have to be realistic, not to mention wedding is in Turks and Caicos and I have two busy kids I have to care for but I have family to help and a boyfriend who is somewhat supportive lol. Well I hope to keep you girls posted on my plans.

Well, went to two consultations today. I really like my second consultation with the dr in Fall River, I studied his web page and found lots of great pictures. Well he was thorough and easy to talk with also said I can call him anytime. His price was cheaper than the first dr. He made me feel real comfortable, I'm a nurse and bed side manners means a lot to me. Well I'll have to have one more consultation before I decide.

Im nervous, still not sure if I can live with the scar for the rest of my life. I know most people heal well and even forgot that they had surgery, I know I will too. Its just anxiety that makes me feel this way. I know I deserve this. My kids are 9 and 7 and i help take care of my 10 yo niece. I usually drive them to school daily and prepare dinner every night, and do all the house work. I'm worried my kids would demand so much from me that Ill feel awful. My friends are very good and so is my boyfriend. I guess I have to just let go and let someone do the work for once. I dont feel guilty about doing something for myself, I am the kind of person to do it for everyone. So having this surgery is something I been obsess about but never did anything about it. I work out everyday at the gym, I use to weigh 210lbs max after my kids were born, then was 185 just last January and lost more over the past year, I'm down to 155 now and I continue to feel stronger and slim, but no matter how much exercise I will never lose the flab on my belly. Yesterday I had to think hard and I also have to consider if its worth the expense to do this. Will it make me a happier person , you know when you look good you feel good!! Well hope to share more with you ladies. Please send me positive energy and thoughts.
