WORTH IT$7,500
Hi everyone! I love this realself community, it has really helped me get over the guilt of spending this money on myself and the anxiety of getting my tummy tuck.
I am 40 yrs old and have three children ages 20,19,11. After My first two pregnancies I went back to my very thin self with no problem but my last pregnancy I kept more of the weight and of course since i was older now my kangaroo pouch never disappeared! So now i have decided to do my tummy tuck and feel human again!! I have had Breast Augmentation over 14 yrs ago and it was the BEST thing i ever did so I am hoping i feel the same about this!
My surgery is scheduled for May 12th. I will post before and after pics once I have some. Wish me luck and I will be posting more once there is something for me to post. Thanks again for all of you sharing your experiences here on realself.

okay i thought maybe i should give my stats, I am 5'3" and 129 pounds. I have been trying to lose some extra weight though before my surgery so still working out 5 times a week for one hour each day. So hard to lose weight ever since I turned 35 years old. It seems as if I work out and just not gain weight but can't lose it. I eat pretty healthy too so its hard to understand why i can't lose this belly, SO a tummy tuck it is!!!! I am getting a full tummy tuck with lipo on my hips and flanks. Very Excited!!!! ")

Just like with your Breast Augmentation, you will LOVE your body after your Tummy Tuck! I am eight days post-op and already super thrilled with my results...and that's even with being swollen. Nobody will tell you it's easy, because it's not...but I think most women will tell you it's worth it and they would do it again if they had to. Best of Luck on your Tummy Tuck journey!! *hugs*

Thanks for the wishes on my tummy tuck adventure! You were lucky you got breast, butt and tummy done! your ahead of me, I better start catching up. LOL ;) Glad to see your doing well and that your so happy with your results. Do you know how many post op appointments your going to be having? It seems like some ppl keep seeing their doctors for months after and others only until the one month mark. Not sure how many we should be having? well keep your updates coming so i can see how your progressing!!

I guess every PS is different...mine is a bit obsessive. I saw him three times just in the first week post-op, and I have to go back this Friday. My PS sees his patients periodically for a year.
The breasts and Tummy Tuck were for me...the booty was more for my husband than anything. ;) LoL

Hi newtummy4bee- Hang in there! I know and understand how hard it is to NOT think about anything else than our TT's!! May 12th will come fast for us, as we are on the same day, girl! I'm looking forward to following you on your journey to bikini-land! Can't wait to hear about your pre-op, as mine is on May 4th. I had a bit of a "road bump" on my journey. I fractured my hand last week. :( The good news is that I didn't need surgery, and that I can wear a splint. We are going on vacation next week, and the only thing I can think about is "will this affect my surgery?" I'll be exactly 5 1/2 weeks into the healing of my fracture, on the day of my TT. And come hell or high water, I am gonna have it!!
Good luck to you!! May 12th will be here before we know it!

So sorry to hear of your fractured hand!!! =( Hopefully it heals quickly so that you can use your arms to help you get up. I know what you mean about not wanting to reschedule or even think of having to wait for another time to have your tt. I would hate it if I had to reschedule, hopefully nothing comes up that would make me have to. I will be posting some before pics soon and I will definately write you on the night that i go to my pre-op. So excited!! Thanks again for sharing your journey along with me on our tummy tuck adventure!! =)

Well happy to hear your getting it all done at one time. I can say from experience that you will love your new breast!!! I have never regretted getting mine and I have had mine 14 yrs now and still love them!! I do have to add though that for the first couple weeks they feel so heavy on your chest like if an elephant was sitting on it. =) But just keep reminding yourself that it will get better and they will get softer. In the beginning they feel so hard and high but around six months later they will feel more natural. Cant wait to see your results!! Good luck and I will check up on you during our recovery!
