I have been looking at this site and I love it!!! I'm so excited to get this done...Now is sit and wait.. My Pre Op appt is May 10...Can't wait. I'm Trying to hit my WW hard but dont know what I'm doing wrong. Can seem to get to 159.... I'm 5'4 and weight 160. I have been doing zumba 2 times a week and exercising other days, not to mention cleaning the house working a full time job and playing with the kids...I just would like to get as close to 149 as I can before... My PS said that it was ok to do the tummy tuck even though I'm not excatly where I want to be.. I sure hope so...JUNE 10 Hurry up!!!!

Well, I made it....I had a rough day after surgrey with vomoiting alot. My Doc did't release me until 11 that night...But woke up this morning and I'm doing great...o by the way pre op for surgrey thay had to stick me 3 times before anyone could get it...Then Yesterday afternoon my vein busted and the dr wanted me still have an iv so got stuck 2 more times...At that point i was so over the whole thing...I hate IVs period! But like i saud today is going great..Have my follow up tomorrow at 12:30...he also during surgrey found that i had a hernia so he fix that and now insurance might pay for some of the cost...that would be great. Surgrey was 7 hrs long and he took off 5 lbs..yay

Congratulations! Yes you will feel wonderful having all of the extra skin removed. It is nice that you are able to do this for yourself...and have a husband who supports you.
Keep us up to date on your journey :)
Good Luck :))
Dont stress about posting pictures. We have all posted our muffin tops to the world and all look the same prior to surgery...no shame! Your new body is right around the corner.
Soon girl!!
Thanks so much for posting your story and photos on RealSelf. Not much longer to go! May is just whizzing by. Will be thinking of you as the big day nears!
We will all be thinking about you and sending good thoughts your way tomorrow. Update us as soon as you are able.
You are looking good:) Thank you for posting the pictures.
But you do need to rest and slow down.
Slow down, girl. Enjoy this time to sit back. You don't want to mess up your healing by doing too much right now, believe me.
You're looking great!
