“Sceduled for March 10 - Orlando, FL”

I have had 5 different abdominal surgeries including two c sections. I am tired of everyone even my mother sayin I look just fine, its just my stomach. I am tired of trying to work it off, cuz its not going anywhere.

I called to make an appotment for the procedure today and the only day available is in two weeks. So I took it, and I put down my deposit. Now I am scared to death. I have wanted it for so long that now I feel overwhelmed. I am actually thinking of how many people could eat off the money I am spending on making myself look better. I am glad I only have less than two weeks to do this because i see I will drive myself crazy!

Hi March ladies,
Woke up this morning with what I think is a gum infection. Im waiting for the MD office to open to find out if I can take antibiotics. Does anyone know if I can take antibiotics? I am a nervous wreck!

March 11, I cant believe it is over and I made it. My fear of not coming home to my family was great and now I see totally unfounded. The anesthician told me five second of discomfort and then I would fall asleep. Next thing I am in my car going home. My hubby has been great and I slept reclined in my bed last night. I got up every two hours or so to pee and my vajjay is a little swollen( don't know why). Today is not so bad. I am eating light. I get a little naseaous but I am not throwing up so thats good. I walked around the house abit, but that just made me tired. I find that i will be watching tv and pass out for like ten to twenty minutes without even trying. Over all I dont think its a bad experience so far.

Day 6. I am moving around so much better. I hope to have the drains emoved tomorrow. I posted some pics of my drains, I hate them. Also, even though I got to # 2 on Sunday, I still have not gone for seconds. Has this happened to anyone else? I cannot wait to see my tummy tomorrow!I also posted pics of my flatter profile! I know it will only get better in time.

Ok, so I got one of the drains out! whoooohoooooo! Now that was a feeling that I have not yet been able to describe. Feeling that thing coming out of your insides is kinda......weird! Oh well I feel great and will get the next one out next week!

First off I cannot find my post op pics that i posted before on here. Second, although I am feeling good, I am concerned about the end of my scar. I looks like I have a piece of skin hanging out and the holes where my drain is looks particularly ugly. I posted pics. Does this go away? I have post op appt on Wed but I am driving myself crazy looking at them!

I was feeling a little good today, so I decided to do laundry and cook dinner.....wrong move! Now I am swollen like a manatee. I looked at the calendar and was truly surprsed to see that it has only been 18 days aince my surgery. tomorrow I will rlax and not do anything.My scar feels so tight and I also made the mistake of stepping on the scale. Another bad move. :-)

Today I am three days shy of being at the one month point since my tt. I am feeling good after my scare of the scar separation. I am going to see my PS tomorrow and hope he will tell me its ok to start walking at least. My body is craving exercise. I posted new pics of my progress so far. My opening seem to be doing well.

Hello all. So today I went to see my PS. He removed the stiches areoung my navel and from my side where they were really bothering me. I told him I felt a little mishappen and he said it was swelling and for me not to worry. Problem is, I do look misshappen, it was my first time in the waist nipper but still, I am going to post a pic and you guys tell me what you think!
