WORTH IT$7,725
I had 2 children (3 and 10 years old) via c-section and I'm left with an "apron" of skin on my tummy. I recently lost 20 lbs of baby weight but I'm still 5 to 15 lbs over my ideal weight. I scheduled a TT but I'm feeling scared of anesthesia and the risks involved. But I'm also excited because I never thought I would be able to have an attractive tummy again.
My PS is board certified and belongs to multiple plastic surgery societies. And I've seen lots of his work, which looks great. But surgery is two weeks away and I'm trying not to think about all the bad things that could happen. This website has been a source of comfort for me. Any advice on what to expect in the coming weeks is greatly appreciated!

I had my pre-op appointment today. My PS and nurse really set me at ease. I'm now slighty more excited than I am afraid (the opposite of what I was before). so far I'm happy with my choice of PS. He's done some really good work, he's very knowledgeable, and his first priority seems to be the patient's health and attractive results. Surgery is scheduled for next week and I feel that I am in good hands.

Thanks so much for the tips, Kimmers. I'm still nervous but all the advice from you and examples from all the realselfers have been a great help to me. It's funny seeing the way the I'm feeling expressed on someone else's blog/review. It makes what I'm feeling seem much more normal.

Just dropped the kids off at my in-laws. They'll stay for two weeks. After that, hopefully my tubes will be gone. I'm missing them already. My surgery is in 4 days. A sort of calm is beginning to settle over me. One reassuring thought that i have is that I'm more likely to die in a car crash while driving to the surgery center than I am to die during surgery. I don't know why that comforts me. But that also is a source of comfort when flying in an airplane. The odds are, I'll be fine. If i have a skilled person flying the plane or operating on me, them I'm probably safer than I am when I'm driving (which is something I do daily and without a second thought). Please pray for me or send positive thoughts my way on Thursday!
Welcome to the site:)
Get yourself ready for the new sexy tummy because it will arrive shortly:)
They will take good care of you in the OR so no worries. You will drift off into happy land quickly and the next thing you know you will be waking up in recovery. The time seems to go so fast and it is all a bit strange. I remember looking at the clock as they were putting me under and it was 8:17 am. The next thing I remember is looking at the clock and it was 3:00 pm. Darn lost an entire day.LOL
Only think about the positive and the beautiful new tummy that you are about to receive. The pain is all temporary and will end so stay strong and focus on the prize.
