I'm so excited about my tummy tuck!!! After having two c-sections, I can't wait to see what I will look like after tomorrow. My son is 8 yrs old and my daughter in now 6yrs. I have been considering this procedure for about two years now. Though I know its not a weight lost procedure. It will be life changing in so many ways!

Today makes one week! I feel great, swollen but I feel great. Got up sent the kids off to school, and then went for a ride with my hubby. The garment my PS gave me really helped with the swelling and my comfort level like he said it would. I am now standing straight up as I walk around. Tonight I will go through my vitamin cabinet to see which vitamins can help with the swelling.

How are you feeling? Starting to get back into the swing of things?
JerseySana 12 Sep 2012
Hi thanks for asking! I am getting back in the swing of things at a very fast pace I think only because I"m back at work( I sit at my desk) and moving around alot. By 3 o'clock I'm done. Most ladies on here are still in the bed and hurting alot. I have my moments but I'm doing a lot with no problem. I'm back in my bed with lots of pillows of course, I cook light dishes ( I cant eat out for too long), and run around. Then at the end of the day I grab some hot tea and relax.

I cant wait to wear a dress to work or evening out, without worrying about my front butt being bigger then my actual behind.
