I have had three children (all vaginally) and have been thinking about a tummy tuck ever since my second child was born. I wasn't sure if I was done having kids though so I waited and now my third (and last) child is almost three so it is time! I went to my pre-op visit last week, they basically just went through any questions that I had and drew blood. At the time I didn't have that many questions but since then I keep thinking of more and more things to ask. I am going to start a list so I can ask them the day of surgery. I have been going through all of the normal emotions... fear of recovery, guilt, second guessing if I really need it. I know that these are just my nerves though. I am at my lowest weight since getting pregnant with my first son and yet my belly is a saggy, wrinkly mess. I hate it. Every time I look in the mirror I see this little roll that is always hanging over my pants. Other people keep saying that I don't need it but they don't see me naked! I am 5' 9" and 162 lbs. I have an athletic build so the number doesn't really bother me, just the sight of my belly! I have 10 days until my surgery and it is basically all I think about...

Do not feel guilty - go for it! You will be so happy you did this for yourself! I felt all the same emotions, guilt, fear, etc., but now, over a year later, do not regret my decision at all. I feel so happy when I look down & see my flat tummy in my bikini now! Good luck & let us know how your recovery goes!
