“25 Year Old Mother of 3 Kido's "Awaiting" Full T/T W/ Tightening of my Abdominal Muscles - Nashville, TN”

I am a 25 year old mother of three and is happily married to my children father, who doesn't agree on the procedure but he wants me to be happy within myself. In the mist of three kids 8,6,& 9months i had three C-sections too. My first child really didn't effect me i just put on a few pounds,the second one is WHEN i start to see a BIG CHANGE in my body,& the 3rd one just really did damage"FLABBERY STOMACH" and i hate it!! It just frustrates me when i can't wear what i want when i want[remind you that i was very small 98lbs before my pregnancy]now i'm 153 and 5foot2. I've pretty much done all that i can do on the diet pills and workouts[poor results].

So i've reseached on endless surgeons and made appts the first surgeon just wasn't for me:( i didn't like nuthin about his before n after photos,but the second one seems like a match for me...Yayy! She's a very very nice well spoken woman[And i love her personality]"so funny". Her nurse are very helpful& supportive of your decision so wit that being said i had my consultation yesterday & my op vistit all in one and scheduled my surgery date for less than two weeks Yayy... I join this community b/c i had some doubts about it but now that i've read a lot of you all's stories it helped me out alot... Thanks for makin me feel good about my decision CAN"T WAIT to post pic.

O.K so i went through with the procedure yesterday morning about 8:30 and was out of recovery by 10:08. I'm doin pretty good at this time jus keeping my med in my system on time and walking around the house like i'm suppose to be, not so much as painful but jus feel a little tired i guess don't get me wrong there is mild pain but it's nuthin you couldn't handle. I haven't been able to take my binder off but i can still see a little results kind of flat but swollen, i just can't wait to take it off.

Ok so i've missed a couple of days on the review but,everythings been goin just fine!! I was pretty much nervious about takin a bath my 1st and 2nd day so i took good old sponge baths which made me feel very well refreshed and relaxed with med afterwards. I been keeping up on my fruits,water,protein shakes,and stool softners so hopefully everythings going well so far. So finally i took my binder off on the 3rd day(gotta lil light headed)but,afterwards it was well worth it,took a shower and my whole body felted brand new ha ha ha... My only concern now is constipation!! I haven't had a movement since before surgery:( Hopefully i'll have one before my post op tuesday. Kind of excited about standing straight on the 4th day that's a good thang but, i have some moments when i will lean forwards b/c of standing to long other than that i'm good:) Hope you all enjoy the pictures.

My drains were taken out on the 1st which was my 1 week op post and they changed the tape on my scar and i jus feel so much better Whewww! My 2nd week op post is the 8th and hopefully she tell me "that it's ok to go back to work". I think i'm ready, will be posting more pic soon.
