My Tummy Tuck Journey.... - Dallas, TX....

I am a 37 yr. old married mother of 6 children....I have 4 girls ages 19...17...15...an 12....an I have 2 boys ages 14 an 9. My first 2 children were born by C-section so my tummy was really messed up from having so many kids! I was still looking like I was about 9 months pregnant lol!!! I would always have someone come up to me and ask me how many months I was or what I was having....I even had a lady come up to me an rub my belly asking me how far along I was...and that was very depressing. I've been wanting to have a TT for years but couldn't afford it....but on March 13th 2012 I had it done and I am so glad I did!!!! Yes there's alot of pain involved but I jus keep telling myself that it's all gonna be worth it in the end! I'm truly loving my flat tummy now even with the swelling!!!! I jus hate laughing...coughing because it really hurts and I haven't sneezed yet and hoping that I don't have to anytime soon!!! I am 6 days post op and I'm getting ready to go to my PS for a check up and I'm hoping to get my drains removed because they're very uncomfortable and they get in my way but I don't wanna rush it.....But for anyone who is thinking about having a TT go ahead and get it done because ur worth it and having it done is worth it also!!!!! Good luck!!!!

I went to see my PS yesterday, and I was hoping to get both drains removed but he only removed the left one and he said that I might get the other one removed on Friday! I was so nervous about getting it removed because I've heard different ladies say that it was very painful and others say that it was just a weird feeling....I only felt just a lil sting and then it just felt like a worm or something squirming inside lol!!! My PS said that everything looked great and that I am going to love my new tummy when it's all healed up....I still have a lil bruising from the Lipo that I had done on my lovehandles....I can't wait to see the NEW ME after I'm all healed.....soooooo excited!!!!!!!

I went to c my PS on friday and I thought that I was gonna get my last drain removed but instead I found out that my drain site was infected so he put me on some antibiotics. Hopefully I'll get it removed sometime this week because it's so uncomfortable and gets in my way! I went through a depression stage a few days this week an I'm only 11 days post op an I'm wondering will I ever be the same again....I'm so impatient lol!!!!
