I am 31 and have 2 kids. (ages 10 and 5). I have been wanting a tummy tuck since my son was born 10 years ago. I am 5ft 5in tall and weigh 118 lbs. I am not having any muscle repair done and no lipo. It is only skin removal. Iam doing this to help with my self esteem. I am very self consious about how I appear. I wear oversized clothes to help hide my loose skin.
After going to my preop appointment it was decided that I am going to have a fully TT but no lipo and no anticipated muscle repair. If it is determined that I need muscle repair once they start my procedure then they will go ahead and do it. I am excted and super scared at the same time. I have waited a long time for this but still nervous about the scarring.

1 1/2 weeks to go until my surgery. I am getting more and more nervous each day. I spoke to my manager at work today (she doesnt know the type of surgery I am getting just that I am having surgery in general). I was given the OK to alter the dress code for me while I recover. Instead of business casual, I can wear yoga pants while I still have the drainage tubes in. That was a relief. I am planning on returning to work after 1 week. Since I wont have lipo or muscle repair, my dr thinks I should be ok to come back to work after that short time. I work in accounting so I sit all day anyways. It is not a physically demanding job by any means. I have the countdown going on now. Its a good thing that my husband is so helpful around the house and with the kids normally. Since I wont be able to help out for a bit.

I am 1 1/2 weeks away from the surgery and getting more and more nervous. The first time I had surgery was 5 years ago when I had my tubes tied and that wasnt major surgery, they didnt even cut me open for it. This is much more serious. I am excited to finally have a flat tummy again. I was always in shape and slim. Once my son was born I gave up on the workouts. Ididnt see the point when no matter what i did, I would always have this stomach. I am hoping that this will be the kick in the pants I need to get in shape again. It has been 10 years since I have worked out seriously. Even with all the postives that will come of the surgery, i am still super crazy nervous/scared. I really hope that the scar is super low. and that it is fairly straight. I have seen some scars that are high up and not at all straight. looks like a child made the incision.
