i have always struggled with my weight my entire life even before i had 3 gorgeous kids i had a fat belly. this time last year i weighed around 10 or so and in a size 12 i am down to 140 and down to a size 8 at times that is tight i have always gone up and down like a yoyo but can never seem to lose the belly no matter how hard i work out so i have waited for my children to grow up and decided it is time for me to do something that i have always wanted to do i worked hard for this and i can't wait for the big day to get here.

OMG I only have 12 days left it is flying by I am trying to keep myself busy so I don't go stir crazy thinking about it. LOL. I think I have everything that I need for afterwards I have extra gauze pads and dressing I bought the product scarprin to help my scar heal faster. I filled my pain meds already and I am going this week to stock up on some good things to eat for afterwards to make it easier on everyone in my house. If there is anything else that anyone can think of that I may need please feel free to comment I am just so excited that it is finally almost here.

Ok ladies my big day is tomorrow my stomach has been doing cartwheels all morning I am so ecstatic and can't wait to do this and see my results this has been a long time coming and I am so glad I have my husband by my side he is more nervous then I am but he is so sweet and I know he will do his very best to take care of me over the next week or so. I will definitely keep everyone updated and I will post post-op pics after my surgery feeling anxious about how my results will turn out but I have seen some really amazing results on this site and I am hoping I have the same results.
