Tummy Tuck with Lipo to Upper Abdomen, Flanks and Inner Thighs - Matthews, NC

I have loved going through this website and following all you lovely, brave ladies on your amazing journey to the Flat Side. I have been debating whether or not to start my own story on here. Mainly because I was so nervous to post my "before" pictures. I can't believe I have posted them.... ugh! I can't even stand to look at myself in the mirror let alone share them with the world. But I have received so much information and tips that I wanted to contribute, so here I go!

My surgery is scheduled for Monday morning. I have been so excited for the last two months, but am now starting to get nervous. I have down so much reading about what to expect, tips and preparation, but I still feel so unprepared.

Since the pictures didn't upload last time, I'm going to try again. Hopefully they will work this time.
I know I should already be sleeping, but I can't get my mind to stop pacing. Trying to prepare things ahead of time for my husband to make it easy as possible for him. I keep reading and re-reading the pre-op and post-op instructions, praying that I haven't forgotten anything. I took the Volume (sp?) over an hour ago. I wish it would have just knocked me out. Did anyone else have problems with the Volume not working? Did their doctors recommend anything else?

Thanks for the support and I'm looking forward to joining you all on the Flat Side soon!

Sorry it has taken so long to update, I have been sleeping most of the day. Pain has been pretty tough, but I'm keeping up on the pain meds, which helps. I still can't believe what I see when I look in the mirror. It doesn't rain look like me at all. That's all I can write now, my eyes are staying to get blurry.
