I am 38 years old with two boys (9&8 & having both by Emergency C-section)& over the last 2 years I have worked very hard on improving my diet & fitness level for my health & as a role model for my boys on the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The 1 area that has not improved at all has been my tummy (especially right around my belly button). I finally went & saw quite a few plastic surgeons & finally decided to take the plunge. It has been very discouraging to workout as hard as I do & still see my very unattractive tummy that sticks out. We also moved to Florida recently which really prompted my desire to get back in a bikini again. Wish me luck :)

The nerves are really setting in!! With the holidays so close I'm starting to re-think this! And as fate would have it, we were just offered today the opportunity to take a vacation to Disney at such a great price its criminal but I'll only be 10 days out from surgery so we had to pass! So now I feel really guilty for not only spending the money on my own insecurities & vanity but also for taking away a potential fun vacation for the family. I told them to go with out me (we live 7 hours away) but I guess thats not in the cards! grrr I was so excited 2 weeks ago, I think I just need to read some other experiences & hopefully I'll get out of this rut! Ive wanted it for so long & now that its almost here I'm acting crazy!! lol

Congrats on making the decision lisee! Your befores look great so I'll bet you'll get excellent results! Working out hard and not seeing the results in the tummy area is exactly why I am getting a tt too! I have a similar shape but I'm 5'7" and 150 lbs but that darn belly area just won't budge. My tt is scheduled for Jan 9th and I can't wait!!

Have you done some research on this site for recommended things to buy pre-op? Garments, scar care, renting a recliner, etc? Look around in the forums and the Q & A sections - tons of info! Good luck and I'm looking forward to following your journey! The 8th will be here before you know it. :)

Your 26 day pics were very inspirational! Especially how you had the before & after pics together for comparison. How are you feeling pain wise now?
