Well ladies; I have finally gotten up enough courage to schedule my tummy tuck surgery (4/3/12). I have done an extensive amount of research and found a doctor I am pretty confident with. I have had two consultations but I am still nervous as hell(LOL).

I am a 35yr. old married AA woman with 3 children ranging in ages from a teen to a toddler; and boy have they all done a number on this body. I bounced back after the first one but my last two were C-sections and I have been unable to tighten up my belly or get back to my pre pregancy weight of 150lbs.

I am 5'8" and currently 174lbs and I just want to be beautiful again! My husband thinks I don't need to change a thing but I don't like what I see when I look in the mirror. So I've saved up enough money and have decided to finally do something special for myself.

Well I showed up 20 minutes early for my pre-op only to be told I had been left off the schedule but it would only take a few minutes to get everything together and I would still be seen. Now my mind is running a hundred miles a minute. On started to wonder if that is a sign that I should not go through with this...or am I letting fear get the best of me???

Omg! I'm freaking out! Now the anesthestist won't be available on the 3rd of April so my surgery has been rescheduled for the 5th. Which totally throws off my plan to have my tt done while the kids were on Easter break and away at a relatives house...idk It's like one sign too many...I'm starting to second guess this thing... :(

Wow, we have the same body type. I am currently weighing in at 174. My date is may 3rd and I am also having lipo on my inner and outer thighs and flanks. I am so excited and nervous. Can't wait to hear about your results. Let's keep in touch. Wishing you all the success with your surgery :-)

Aw, don't second guess yourself! You said in your heading your are finally doing something for you so continue ahead with that plan! I will admit I would be pissed about both of those scheduling issues you have had to deal with. Don't these people realize the stress this causes???? Try to move forward. Vent here as much as possible, but keep your eye on the prize! Your future flat tummy! My surgery is April 2nd. Will keep in touch with you!
