WORTH IT$11,000

I'm turning 36 on 2/26 and I'm having a tummy tuck, lip of flanks and inner thighs done. I'm do excited and very nervous all at the same time. I have 3 daughters, 18, 14 and 10. I was married for 14 years to my high school sweetheart who I meet at 15 and needless to say It will be a year 3/9 that we have been divorced and 3 years in May we have been separated. I've wanted to get a Tummy Tuck done for about 5 years now cause my body has not been the same since Ive had my kids but never really could find the courage to do it. Well ladies it's been a long and rough road but I am grateful to say I'm slowly finding myself again and and made the decision to go for it and get my tummy tuck done. I figured with the new beginning of my new life I may as well have a new body to go along with it. I'll try to post pictures so you can see the before and after outcome once I get some help from my girls cause I'm not the greatest at uploading stuff but I'll be sure to get it done. Thanks to all you ladies for your post as well, they have truly been a motivation to me in this journey

Today I went in to see the Anethesiologist. She checked my vitals and all looks well. She gave me some information about her and her staff. I'm glad I went in to see her because she made me feel a lot better about the surgery. Tomorrow I go in to make my payment and for my last consultation before my surgery date. I'm very excited but still can't shake being nervous as well. Ladies please keep me in your prayers. 6 more days left to go before my sugary date. I'll keep you posted.

Today I went in for my last pre op appointment before the surgery. I'm so excited only 5 more days left. My doctor took my before pictures and talked to me about what I expected from the surgery and my being nervous. He and his assistant made me feel very comfortable. Still a little nervous but waiting patiently for the new me :-)

Treacy, I am so excited for you. A new body for your new life seems like a great idea. Can't wait to see the pictures. I'm so glad I have a teenager at home to help me with stuff like that also. She tries to teach me but after I mess up so many times she gently encourages me to go away and she does it herself.

Look forward to an update on your last consult before the big day.

Sending prayer, warm wishes, and positive thoughts your way!!

Treacy- good for you hun, doing this for you! It is nice to have older girls to help you after!!! My son is 11 and he says he will help, I have to be careful he was very freaked out with my surgery last year. I will be cheering you on, you are a few days before me!!
Good luck and prayers!
