Surgery Date 5/9 - RE-surgery date 5/22. Hell, but still worth it!

I am 36 and have two children. My first left with me with stretch marks ALL over the bottom portion of my tummy. My second was 10 pounds, 3 ounces, and that really did me in. The stretch marks reached past my belly button after that one, and I developed a 'lump' above my belly button (so you can't even see it). I work out consistently and eat right, but there is no way to lose that loose skin (or the stretch marks!) I had my breasts enlarged in 2008 (also wrecked from my darling babies, lol), and I wanted to do the tummy tuck then, but thought the recovery would be too much. I am a confident woman, but my tummy is a HUGE insecurity for me. It was one thing when I was married, but being divorced now...uh, it's just not cool. I need to do this for ME and am so excited. My muscles are awesome, so I won't be having those tightened, just a normal tummy tuck. I am a BIG BABY when it comes to pain and pain pills make me sick, so this should be interesting!
