Hi im belle im a newbie on here :) i have 2 beautiful children, i had them both quite close together so ended up with excess and wrinkly skin so that made me feel really uncomfortable and i lost all my confidence although i do feel so guilt ridden i decided i had to take the plunge and do something what would make me happy with my body and not looking in the mirror everyday feeling down. im oh so excited but so scared of everything about the whole procedure. im getting it done at the riverside hospital in london with transform they are really good so far. Has anyone else had there tt done here? I have my pre op there end of september.

He is a very quiet man but he answered all the questions i needed to ask, he was honest and straight down to the point and thats what i liked about him. You will be in very safe hands with Dr chantatasak, im very pleased with my results so far!

Sounds like you and I will be recovering together. My TT is scheduled for the 15th. As for the guilt, just think of all the things you do everyday in order to take care of your family. I am sure that you have sacrificed your time, your money, and especially your body. Having this surgery is something just for you to help you to feel good about yourself. Don't let the guilt get to you, because you more than deserve this.

Yes, I have two children, both of which are grown. I understand the fear of something happening. Even when they are grown you still worry about not being around for them. My children are 21 and 18, so I still need to be around for a while. Hopefully one day to at least see grandchildren......even though I really hope that is several years in the future. LOL Still too young for grandchildren at this point. LOL I understand about the smoking part as well. It sounds like you and I are going through that together too. I don't know what is worse at this point.....the anticipation of the surgery or the no smoking. It's hard either way you go, but like you said, it will be better for our health AND our pocket book. I am on day 3 with no smoking. The cravings are not as bad today, but still getting to me at time. What have you found to be helpful with the cravings?

gulp 20 days to go, thinking to myself what the hell am i doing? butterflies and bad tummy ache at the mo. Ive quit smoking for 2 days now at least i did it sooner than later but i wasnt really a heavy smoker anyway. I just keep pushing through i keep saying to myself i am a woman im strong i can do this! Im not scared of dying i say if it was meant to be then it was meant to be i believe when your time is up thats it, the most thing im scared of that is ill never see my children again. I know god knows i have the greatest purpose in life of being a wonderful mum to my beautiful children, i love them dearly. pre op tomorrow one more step ahead!!

Hi Donna i have only just seen your post sorry for taking so long to reply, i will keep you posted so dont worry, im such a nervous wreck when it comes to operations its my worst nightmare but as its an elective one it made it a lot scarier for me, i had my ups and downs ever since booking the op, its all ive thought about and talked about, i have been driving my partner nuts! But the last couple of weeks ive been quite calm maybe i have just got used to the idea. Dont worry hun you will have enough time to reflect on the reasons why you are going through with this, its normal to feel anxious! my surgeon apparently is a boobie god so hopefully he can live up to being a tummy tuck god too hehe. all the best of luck xx

Hi Ladies, well just 4 days to go. I just keep looking at my saggy tummy thinking you will be gone soon! As for how i feel i actually dont feel too bad i wasnt as scared as i was about a month ago, obviously still worried and anxious i have no idea if all those feelings will come back all at once on the day. Im taking 30c of arnica a week before for bruising hopefully that will minimise the brusing alot. So weds il be going in at 9.30 to check in then will have to wait around until they call me in, i have to stay in for 2 nights so i have all my hospital bag bag packed, all i need to do know is the housework before the big day! I wish i could post before and after pictures but my laptop is broken so having to use my phone but i will post some when its working. Fingers crossed for me best of luck for up and coming flat siders! :-)

Please be sure to have your phone with you so you can let me know how you are doing. Mine is scheduled for Monday at 12:45. Nervous and excited, but not nearly as scared as I was a month ago. I feel like I know what to expect thanks to this site.
