“My Journey 1 Week Before Tummy Tuck - Bloomfield, NJ”

I have 4 children and all were by C-Sections. My tummy has been stretched several times due to those little brats. lol
I had my kids very young, well by the time I was 19 I had 3 and at that very young age, I was never able to again wear a bikini. I dont think I will wear a bikini but want a flat stomach without so many lines and dents.
It has taken me 4 years to make my final decision and this forum has helped me make the final definite go for it!!

I just added new pictures taken today which is 10 days post op. Though my stomach is pretty flat, I can see it still protruding some and wonder if this is what everyone talks about when they talk about swelling. Is my belly just swollen? I am hoping it will become flatter in time.
And looking at my sides, am I cut a bit farther than most or is this normal? I still have some blood on my belly button but Im just not able to scrub it off yet, I will give it time and know it will come off by it self as I shower. I just cant touch it.

I just added a picture of a girdle I ordered on ebay total cost along with shipping was I think about 23.00. It is so comfortable and has clips under the front zipper so you can make it tighter or loser by about 1/2 and inch. I bought an extra large and Im a size 12, and it is pretty snug, so you have to buy at least 2 sizes bigger. I found it very comfortable for a stage 2 garment.

This doc does this procedure practically on a daily basis. He is not the friendlyess from what others have said, but I had no problem with him, he was very sweet and kind and caring.

Last night I wore some leggings and a sweater and felt like a million bucks. It's so strange to suddenly have this new amazing body. When you lose weight its gradual so you ease into the idea of dressing better.
I was almost embarrassed to wear it- I'm used to hiding myself, not showing it off. I mean it wasn't skanky- it was simple, but it was just obvious that I'm so much smaller and I felt like I was flaunting it. Something very unfamiliar. And very WONDERFUL!!
I am so glad I found this forum or I would have been driving my family and friends nuts talking about it all the time.
Have you decided on your last pre op meal? Mine included Cheesecake Factory pumpkin cheesecake. Yum!
but I want to go in with a feeling of a flat stomach so going to make sure I dont eat too much and I want to make sure I have a good bowel movement and nothing sitting in my stomach before
I am very excited for you Gail. You are going to be so happy having a new and flat tummy. Best thing I have ever done for myself.
I look forward to reading your posts as you go through your process. You will have a wonderful support group here on RealSelf and we will all help you through.
WOW four kids...whoa! That certainly would do a number on your tummy.
Happy New Year.
I am getting pretty anxious now that I am at the count down. 6 days left and even had a dream about them marking my belly last night but no one ever came to do the surgery. LOL
i am doing some last minute things around the house and keep thinking wow, next week at this time, I will be laid up and not able to get around as I am doing now.
Hi Gail,
The count down is on! I am so excited for you..
Oh the crazy dreams are so much fun. I use to wake up in a sweat over my nutty dreams. Your mind is going a bit wild right now but you will be ok.
Don't worry about your house for 2-3 weeks; you can straighten that all out later. It will wait for you...LOL
You ave all of your help lined up for after surgery...right?
Now daffy this is funny!!!
so glad your ready to get it done! i myself was a young mom still young lol 25..i have 3 and your tummy look better then mines ..i think your outcome will be beautiful...maybe once your heeled and im heeled ill see you at the jersey shore lol
Just do not eat any Mexica food tomorrow! I made that mistake the day before surgery and my IBS kicked in the mornings of surgery. Holy HELL!
I bought a bottle of Colace stool softener, but not sure when should I start using it. And there are no directions on how often do you take it and how many pills. any ideas. I heard Senokot will make you have a bowel movement and Im not looking for that, just to have an easy one when I do. Any thoughts on that?
