Tomorrow is the big day. I am feeling nervous and excited all in one. Lately I have been "Nesting" if you know what I mean.
So a little about me is that I am a 32 yr young mom of 3 boys. 11yr old twins and an almost 3 yr old. All were delivered vaginally. I used to be so proud that I didn't have to have a C-sec with the twins but now I will be having an even longer scar. My best feature has always been my long torso (I am 5'10.5" and 160lbs). Not sure what else to write. I will be posting pics when I can.

Had my surgery. I haven't been able to look yet as I have tubes and a girdle. He did give me a pain pump which I feel is a life saver, have only had to take a few muscle relaxers for the tightness. I also have to walk around for a few min every few hours to prevent DVT in conjunction with some machine that is strapped to each calf that tightens and releases. I don't remember seeing my Dr after surgery but the nurses said I did have a year in my ab muscles and that my waist is so tiny like Barbie, whoa, lol. I see Dr in a few days for a post off and hopefully a peek

Your body type is just like mine. Same height/weight. I have 2 kids and also felt so proud not to have the c-section scar. Took me years to come to terms with being more content with a TT scar vs this sag bag that sits on my lap. Very happy for you. Look forward to seeing your flat side pics. I just started my research.

Ugh it sucks having to do it but I prefer a bikini over hiding in a one piece any day. Will try and get pics soon, nothing but 3 drains and tight girdle right now hiding everything

Are you in a lot of pain? I hear the pain is comparable to a c section but never having had one its hard to relate to.

Not much pain at all but it could be because he has me hooked to a pain med drip. I do get tightening in the chest and tummy so I take muscle relaxers. I am able to go to the bathroom by myself, get up and down in the recliner. Such a nice change from when I had my first boob job 2 years ago. The only part I can't stomach is draining my fluid bulbs so the hubs get that fun part. I can't believe how well I am doing. Have you decided to get it done? I wish I could show you more pics, will post after post-op on Monday

I flip flop on is it worth the risk and money :(. I've spent HOURS on realself feels like any free moment im reading and viewing pics. But it's helping to sway my decision towards doing it. I'm running thru my mind my work/personal calendar trying to pick the perfect timeframe if I get to do it this summer. I need to find a few docs and schedule consults. Your pain pump sounds like a God send! :)

Last night was a little bit hard for me, tried to cry but even that hurt. I doubled up on pain meds and then was back to normal, before then I was only taking 1 pill each time. I can't believe at how much I have been sleeping. It's a good thing I suppose, helps the days fly by. I see my Dr Monday afternoon. Hoping he will remove drains and bandages so I can peek. Hoping my BB looks decent. Will take a new pic Monday
