I have 5 wonderful children. 3 that I had the pleasure of giving birth to. I have alot of stretch marks and belly fat that wont budge with diet or exercise. Honestly the stretchmarks are not what bothers me as much as the jiggly skin. I realize I will still have some stretchmarks and I'm okay with that. I think i'd be sad to get rid of them all, sounds crazy I know..but, I've had them for 25 years! They are from my children! Anyway...I'm excited,nervous,scared to death!!! My pre-op is August 1st. I am 5"1 and unfortunately weigh 178. Just got a definate date yesterday and started low carbing. Hoping to lose a few pounds before surgery date. Ill post pictures when I figure out how! lol Nervous about sharing before pics. My husband doesn't even see me totally naked unless by candle light and on my back!!!! I'll check back in soon! Sooooo thankful for this site!

I have to get it done "this" week!! ARRRRGH!! Oh well, it'll all be worth it! Im taking off three weeks. I do hair so I hope that will be enough time. If I have to I'll take more time off but hopefully 3 will be enough. I have taken pics...I'll try to post them......oooh not good...but after will be great!

Well....I went to my pre-op visit Wednesday. Thank God they sent me for bloodwork at the lab they use and it was alot cheaper than my regular doctor was going to charge. My lab work is done! Now to have meds filled and play the waiting game! He did say to stop the no carbs diet! Ouch! I really wanted to lose a few more pounds. I feel like a blimp!! Lord I pray Im not too overweight for my results to be wonderful! I could surely stand to lose 15 or so more pounds! Say a prayer for me ladies!

9 days to go!!! Oh my! Im dreaming those crazy dreams yall speak of! Im regretting not working harder to get the extra 20 lbs off! Everywhere I read says losing 15-20 lbs after a TT is okay and can be good. Lord I hope its true! Ive waited so long for this. I want everything to look great! Well, I dropped my prescriptions off at the pharmacy today and picked up a few things I need....Checked out and got all the way home and realized I forgot to pick up my meds!! Yeppers!! That'd be me!! I have a very busy week ahead at work so it will fly by! I can't believe its almost here and it is truly going to happen! THANK YOU JESUS!!! Ill check in again soon! :)

Hello friends, Have you forgotten about me?? I keep posting and checking back but no answers or comments. :( I am itching soooo bad underneath my garment there is foam and its giving me the mad itch!!!! Its post op day #4. Ive always had a pretty high tolerance for pain but......grrrrrr. I still can only walk to bathroom and back and I give out. I walked to kitchen this morning and my back starts aching and wont let me go farther. Is all this normal? Im getting a shower today so ill get to really get a look at my tummy. Im alittle afraid.

OMG I have written this 3 times now!! It wont submit! Last try! Maybe i'm added too many pics at a time! Anyways......I am 2 weeks post op and feeling a little more normal every day! Still lots of swelling. Still not standing completely straight. My lower tummy and lady part is still swollen and hard as a rock!! Thats very uncomfortable. My navel isnt great but PS says its still early. Still alot of stretch marks.Was just hoping they'd be BELOW my belly button. OH well. I definately have an hourglass shape like I used to have. Maybe too much. Posting pics. Oh and it was very much worth it!
