I've wanted to have a tummy tuck for over 12 years...
WORTH IT$9,501
I've wanted to have a tummy tuck for over 12 years now, and I'm finally in a position where I can do this for myself. I've read and followed other TT patients on here for years and I'm glad that I'll get the chance to share my own story. I'll get my before pictures posted in the next few days, and I look forward to sharing my journey.

One week until my procedure...
I've finally posted my current/before pictures and I'm so ready for my TT. My procedure is scheduled for next Tuesday, October 22, and its my understanding that it will take anywhere from 3-4 hours. My doctors office also sent me a list of items to purchase and have on hand, which I plan to shop for those items this weekend. I was also told to stop taking any type of herbal supplements, which is a bummer, because one of my herbal supplements was used to help regulate my digestive system. In order to make sure I stay regular, I've started eating dried prunes and they work great. I'm thinking I'll take a few extra prunes daily after my surgery to help with going to the bathroom, and I will probably get a stool softener as well. So far I'm pretty calm about my upcoming procedure and I'm thinking its because I've wanted to do this for soo long. I was hoping my Mom would be there for my surgery, but she hasn't been too supportive of the procedure and so my guy friend will be taking me to my surgery and staying with me a few days afterwards. No negative people are allowed around me during this timeframe. It's all about me and doing something for myself.

First thoughts... I'm so glad I did this for myself! I'm in pain, mostly my back from the liposuction, but I already see a dramatic difference in my figure. Each day the pain is less and I'm able to move around more. I was actually able to stand up straighter this morning and I emptied my own drains without my friend's help, which made me just a little sick. All-in-all, I'm happy with my procedure and definitely happy with the doctor I went with.

Im so proud for you. I picked up my prescriptions yesterday and was really surprised at all the meds. I have three different pain pills, one nausea and one antibiotic. I opened that bad and thought oh my I guess this is going to be some incredible pain. But that hopefully will only last a bit and then a lifetime to enjoy the results. Glad you mentioned the things you have been eating. Ive got some of those special k protein shakes bought and some greek yogurt and string cheese and crystal light. I need to get some of those soups and of course some bananas, grapes, strawberries, cucumbers and celery stalks to munch on. So you are sleeping on the sofa? Propped up with a bunch of pillows? Ive been dreading the recliner. Im not a recliner kinda gal on a regular day. Are you using plastic bags over your sofa because I heard the draining can be bad....really bad. Dont want to ruin my furniture. So glad you are doing well. Tomorrow is the day for me so remember me and say a prayer please. Keep me posted on your recovery. :-)

How are you doing so far? How's the pain and management of the drains? Also, how's that recliner doing. :)
