ORIGINAL POST

I had been wanting a Tummy Tuck since I gave birth...

WORTH IT$6,300

I had been wanting a Tummy Tuck since I gave birth to my first child at the age of 19. Now it has been four years and one more son later it's time to give a gift to myself. My boys are 4 and 10 months presently. Their father and my high school sweet heart has been nothing but supportive with my decision, although he loves my regardless if I have the surgery or not.

I decided to have the surgery because I am young and shouldnt have to walk around ashame of my stomach. I gained 40 pounds with my first child and lost majority of it. I currntly love my size; however, my stomach isn't cute. My doctor informed me it was necessary for me to have the surgery due to the excess skin. In addition to the tummy tuck I am going to have lipo of my flanks. The nurse suggested I purchase the pain pump for an extra $300 on top of the $6300 surgical fee so I did. What is your input?

I am schedule of surgery on December 15th I must admit I am a little nervous. I filled my prescription today. I am wondering where can I purchase a compression garment from?

I will post picture the night before and will update everyone with my recovery process. Is there any tips you can give me?

A lot of ladies swear by the pain pump. I think you'll be glad to have it. Here's a thread in the forum about compression garments.

Please come back and let us know how you're doing!

Less then a week away!!! Ladies I am super nervous... I can't believe it. I keep thinking to myself what I'm I doing? However, I know I am doing something for myself which I haven't done in forever. Since becoming a mom my children come first; however, it's now time to treat mommy!!!

I am a little nervous about the pain although I have the pain pump. I pray my surgery doesn't interfer with my kids Christmas. My boy friend had been so supportive of me especially as the time nears. This weekend is Christmas pictures with the family. It should take my mind off of everything. In addition, I have to go grocery shopping for my recovery period. Is their any suggestions? Must need items?

Thanks ladies :)

I would advise you to take off 3 weeks for the recovery period. 2 weeks is just taking chances, you get so tired easily, you might be feeling great in 2 weeks but do take the extra week for relaxing a bit more at home.

ONLY 3 DAYS AWAY :o!!! I can't believe it. This weekend I spent a lot of quality time with my family b/c I know I am not going to be myself after Thursday. I really enjoyed the time we had. I am so excited to see my results. I haven't had a flat tummy since high school I can't wait.

I started doing squats again this weekend to help tone and shape my butt lol. My doctor said after my tummy tuck you will be able to notice my round buns lol. So I have been trying to tone them up.

Almost time!!! :)
