WORTH IT$7,500

I'm a married, 37 year old mom of 5, and as the title says, I'm the Mom of quads. My skin was so stretched out so quickly, I see no other way to get out of wearing these "granny panties" for the rest of my life. So ready to be able to wear semi-fitted shirts, tucked in if I want to, with normal panties! Scared of recovery, but I figure at least I won't be changing diapers and washing bottles while recovering like last time : ) The quads are almost 5 and my oldest is almost 10.

Good luck! Multiples do a number on you don't they? I have two sets of twins and am ready to get my TT Nov 14th. Here's wishing all of a speedy and easy recovery.

Getting closer everyday, and have told a few more people. Forgot to put my stats, I'm 5'2 and usually around 118 lbs. My sister (a pain mgmt. nurse) is coming to help me for the first 5 days and she's had a TT herself a year ago so I'm so grateful for that. Praying for a safe surgery and quick recovery so I can get back to driving and helping with the kids. Dreading the sleeping in a recliner thing and hoping to be somewhat back to normal by Christmas, which is only 3.5 weeks after surgery! Is that unrealistic? Just don't want to be hunched over shuffling around for all the family activities on Christmas eve and day. Also, my recovery after the quads' csection was awful. My incision opened up (think in part to me throwing up soon after in recovery) and my husband and friend had to pack my wound for over a month...sorry, tmi! It was so gross, hope NOTHING like that happens again. Anyway, good luck to all of you coming up soon! I enjoy reading all about you, though don't have time to get on and post much. 25 more days!

Wow quads!! You are one busy lady. You will be able to ditch the granny panties soon and exchange them for some sexy VS panties. You will love shopping for them!

How nice that your sister is a PM nurse and able to help you out. Her having been through this whole process will also be a big help. It doesn't get any better than that.

The first week is the worst and then you turn the first corner at about two weeks PO. By Christmas you will still be sore and swollen but you should be fine. Go slow and rest as often as you need. Don't push yourself to the point of exhaustion - which is what most of us moms do! I know it's in our blood to do so. Just be extra good to yourself the first six weeks PO and you will do well.

Please keep us up to date on your entire journey.

Wow, quads! I'm sure you here that all the time. I have 4 kids. An 11 yr old, 7 year old twins & a 5 year old. They did a number on my tummy too! Good Luck on your surgery! I'm doing mine on Nov. 10. :)

I had a breast reduction when I was 18 and had a similar thing happen where my incision opened up. After a month of trying to heal it, I ended up having a second surgery. Fortunately, my c-sections went off without a hitch. I think it was just bad luck. I don't think you have anything to worry about. You're going to have a great result. Can't wait to see! Thanks for showing us your pre-ops. I need to enlist my hubby to take some for me too.

Wow, time flies. I've been reading all your stories and they're so encouraging to me. 11 days left to go for me. It's Saturday and my preop appointment is Monday! getting more excited and nervous by the day. I've told a few more close friends and most have been very supportive. Still feeling like I'm going to be imposing on people and I don't like that. Hoping that i can drive within a week or so? Got a couple of the kids things that I'll have to miss ( Christmas musical and probably parade, gymnastics, dance) I guess they'll forgive me? I have not told the kids. At age 9 and 4, not sure how much they'd understand and I don't want to scare them. Thinking of not telling them until it's over. Thinking of all you tts coming up this week and those of you recovering!

You are going to look amazing..you have these little skinny legs so once you lose the extra skin you are gonna have one hot bod!!

You can do it! Anyone who can get through carrying quads and delivering them can get through this...every surgery is different, dont be scared by your c-section experience..so excited for you.
