I'm a 32 year old mother of 3 and have never been able to get my flat tummy back! I am scheduled for full tummy tuck with lipo of flanks for September and really scared. I had 3 c-sections so I'm hoping that the pain is similar. I think what I'm afraid of the most is complications arising from an elective procedure. I have no health problems nor family history of any bleeding disorders and did fine for my sections but I am still worried. So please only words of advice and encouragement! Lol I will post pics soon!

Hello! I'm in the same boat as you. I'm scheduled for June 16th, two weeks from today, and I've been freaking out about it since I scheduled it a month ago. There's a term called analysis paralysis that means analyzing a situation to the point of not going through with, or almost backing out of a decision. I think that's a category you and I and bunch of other ladies here fall under. We look so deeply into the procedure, after the procedure, possible complications and stories from people who had a negative experience that we overlook the fact that there's a higher chance of dying or being seriously, permanently injured in a car accident driving to surgery than there is with the actual surgery. I was so wrapped up in finding out every bit of negative, possible scenarios that I had to step away from RS for a bit. I'm still terrified, but I'm trying to be logical and positive about it. You'll be just fine and I bet you're going to absolutely love your results! :-D

We'll thanks so much cause you totally made me look at it differently! I will need to stop analyzing everything if this is something I want! Good luck and best wishes for a great recovery!

I am like an emotional rollercoaster! one day I want to cancel my surgery and the next im ok until today when I just so happen to read a review from someone who seems just like me...worried about blood clots....and everything she said is exactly how I think. everyone assured her that its so rare and the nurse said in her 12 years working she has never had a patient get one. well what do you know this lady ends up with one in her lungs and is now on blood thinners and driving herself crazy worrying if she will be around to see her kids grow up! I just feel like maybe I read this as a sign to not do it. I hate my belly but im just very unsure now!

I felt 100% how you are feeling right now. IN FACT, I cancelled my surgery the night before while at my pre-op appointment! The surgeon convinced me otherwise and I am SO GLAD I DID IT! Go read my Review. I am 7 months out now and couldn't be happier. If you want to talk, message me. You will be just fine :-)

WOW!! It helps to know im definitely not the only one to feel this way! I still am undecided but im also upset cause I know how much this belly affects my day to day life! Thanks so much for your comment!

I have 2 year old twins, and the absolute toughest part for me was NOT being able to lift them (or anything over 10 lbs) for four weeks. So I had to have help lined up (my mom, her friends, etc.) when my husband had to go back to work. It was a huge pain in the ass, but that four weeks FLEW by! Yes, you use your tummy for SO much (I couldn't even believe how much my ABs were engaged when I drove for the first time after the surgery) but like I said, the time goes by SO fast and you get back to your daily life sooner than you think. Honestly, the first month is the toughest. Then it gets so much easier! ☺
