On the flat tummy side!

Hi! I am 43 years-old and scheduled for a Mommy Make Over on March 19th. I have 5 kids ranging in ages from 24 to 11. I have wanted a BA since I was 18 and had recently thought about proceeding. I went to a seminar at a local PS office to get more information. They discussed the make over at the seminar and it made a lot of sense. I have never been over weight but love the idea of having tighter abs. My last two children were c-sections. Since that time I have had a small pooch that overlaps my scar. It made a lot of sense to be under anesthesia once with one recovery. I am scheduled for TT, Flank Lipo, and BA. I am really nervous about recovery. My job involves several days that I am on my feet a lot. I am not sure if two weeks will be enough. I look forward to getting to know everyone better.

I was looking at the calendar today and noted that this is the last full week of Feburary and that March will be here next week. Less than a month until surgery. Yikes! Ironically I am not super nervous, today It depends on the day and it comes and goes

My pre op appointment is two weeks from Friday. The closer it gets the more I worry if I have made the right decision. I hope that my results will be as fantastic as everyone's on here.

Well time to go watch some TV and relax before heading to bed. Busy day at work tomorrow!

I had my pre-op appointment today. My PS was awesome and spent a lot of time explaining things to me and answering my questions. I decided to go with moderate plus saline implants - 400 cc under the muscle. I was given 3 scripts - Percocet, Flexeril, and a Scopolamine Patch to apply the day of surgery. I will not have a pain pump. The sutures that are placed are dissolvable. I will follow up with the PS the day after surgery. I will have 2 drains. The dreaded pictures were taken. I think that was the worst part of the whole appointment. I think the second worst part was all the paperwork. I felt like I was signing my life away with all the contents that I had to initial and sign.

After my appointment, I went out and bought the two sports bras that I need to take to my 1st post op appointment. I also purchased sweatpants and a sweat jacket to wear to the hospital and after.

I feel much better about my decision after my appointment today. I am still really nervous but I think I am in excellant hands. I still have a ton of things to do in the next week so at least I will be busy and not have too much time to think. Still really nervous though.

Nine days and counting. Is that anything like 19 kids and counting .
