Hi Ladies,





Well....here is my story! I am 5'7" and currently weigh 135 lbs! I am about 5 lbs from my goal weight. I am mother of two boys 7 & 9. Both were pretty big babies, my last one weighing in at over 9 lbs! Which in turn has left me with saggy skin and stretch marks all over my stomach. I also put on quite a few pounds and at my Six week post baby check I was 190 lbs! I have worked very hard over the past years to get this weight off and like I mentioned before I am only 5 lbs away from my goal weight!! YAY!! Finally! It only took 7 years! I have never liked my stomach but now I HATE it! I have been thinking of getting a tummy tuck and implants for the last few years but just recently decided that I needed to do this for me! I have my first appointment on Thursday 12/01 and I am excited and nervous! Here are my concerns any help would be appreciated:





*Feeling like I wont wake up from surgery..I have never been put under!


* Infection and more importantly Blood Clots





I am sure these are all concerns of everyone but I just need to try to get over it! Also I am trying to get this scheduled for the first week in Jan. Is that enough time to get all the appointments I need? I am taking my kids to FL in mid Feb and I don't know if this is enough time to heal before I fly? Ya know the whole blood clot thing again? Well I am so excited to find this site it has been so great reading all of your posts! I will be back to let you all know how my consult goes on Thursday!

Hooray! Very excited that you get to do this. My babes were both more than 9 pounds, too. Ouch! And also, stretch city.

Traveling that soon after a TT/BA is pushing it, but some doctors say it's a-ok. Here's more info on that.

Thank you for posting your story on RealSelf. Keep us updated! :0)

Hi! I was worried about the breast lift scar, also... but after looking at some after pics here and elsewhere, I've decided it's worth it. They fade to something so light. Much better than an unmarred droop :) I look forward to hearing about your journey!

I am getting so nervous! I am only 11 days away! It is all happening so fast. So I am wondering a few things.. What kind of bras have you ladies found helpful after your surgery? Does PS give you one or do you need to buy one? How do I know what size to buy? Any other helpful hints as I get ready for this!! Thank you ladies!!!!

When I had my consult, the NP said to buy one that snaps in front. The one she showed me had about 10 snaps in front...said I can get it at Wal-Mart for a reasonable price.

Can you post some before pics? Love to see the transformations.

oh and I DO think pre made meals has been the BIGGEST thing I have done that will help later. just double your dinners for the next week or how ever many days you have and then freeze them...

I will tell you look at mom_me here on realself. there are some others too. but she has been SUCH a blessing. look at her scars.. One thing to remember is FOLLOW DIRECTIONS from YOUR PS.. you chose this PS for a reason so just be confident with his or her directions. I too had BIG babies and totally understand.. I have been put under for me no big deal. You wake up wondering when it's going to start but your already done! I was told do not buy bras before hand because no matter what they wont fit later. So dont waste the money. You will be able to go get fitted later. But again ask your PS.. I will say mine has answered about 50 emails.. I figured for the money if they wont answer my email then they must not be that interested in MY concerns.. I was given the whole sports bra after info from other ladies. one that hooks in the front. QUESTION?? will you have help at home? and ask ANY question you need I will do all I can to help, and I am SURE others will as well.
