8 month UPDATE! 30th B-day Celebration!! - Indianapolis, IN

I am 29 (turning 30 in May) I have 4 kids. 8, 6, 5 and 3. My 5 and 3 year olds were over 10 pounds. I had a c-section with my 1st and he was my smallest baby. I have a ton of stretch marks as you can imagine from 4 kids and 2 being 10+. I am 5'9 and weigh 185.
I had my first consult today. LOVED the doctor. He recommened either an extended tummy tuck or standard TT. I am not sure why. He said the results are only somewhat better with the extended. It eliminates what would be puckering on your sides, but standard done with lipo would do the same. I am not a fan of the all around scar and I do have a tattoo that would be cut in half and I am attached to the tattoo (it is angel fish that I got when my husband and I got engaged because they mate for life, corny I know, but I LOVE them) He also said that drains were an option that he would decide on during surgery if I would need them or not. How should I feel about that? I mean, I am under the impression drains are a good thing? I could be wrong about that though. Help me out on that one!!
So anyhoo, planning on the surgery date of March 28th when the kids are on spring break and they can be sent away for the week.
I am excited and scared. Thank you for letting me lurk here for the past couple of weeks too, you all have been sooo helpful! Look forward to sharing my journey with you and reading about all of yours! :)
And sorry about my horrible pics. Only for realself eyes only! I had to hurry and delete them from the camera so they couldn't go anywhere else! :)

Glad I did!!!!
I think your results are truly remarkable! If I am even remotely close to your results I will be THRILLED! I have really appreciated reading along in your journey. You don't realize how much it helps people out. I hope to be an inspiration for people too! :) So Thanks!!
The first week was the hardest, being 8 days post op today was my best day yet. I feel so much better. I only had 1 nap today :)
After I took my shower a few ago, I really feel great. Tomorrow I plan to go and get a new binder(wear and tear) lol.
I really need a pedicure and fill in. My daughter and I will put that on our to do list for the AM.
Hang in there and get ready for your big day!!!
I finally found your post Daffy had to tell me how to get to it..haha i'm so computer savy as you will see with my typing...
you look so much like a friend of mine here. don't worry about your pics just take a look around we're not in [RS bleep]...but they should have a section for the "THEREALGIRLS" not that I would make the centerfold on that one either..this is more fun than [RS bleep] anyway we can actually talk how many of them will chat with you? my little girls birthday is the day after your surgery so that's a good time to be having it.. your tummy doesn't look that bad to me just relax and have a good time....:-)
