Anxiously Awaiting TT for Birthday Present - Shreveport

I am a 32 year old mom of two healthy, beautiful kids (5 & 3). They did leave me with a less desirable tummy and stretch marks. I have lost all my baby weight plus a little extra. i have been wanting a tummy tuck for 2 years, but i also wanted to make sure that we weren't going to have anymore children. Three weeks ago my husband had a vasectomy and hopefully by Jan 1st, I will have a new belly and a bladder lift. I have a very physical job and lift boxes, but the PS and urologist i chose both said that I should be able to go back to work 6 weeks after surgery. My birthday is the end of December, so a TT is my Christmas/birthday/Valentines/Easter/Anniversay gift for the next 5 years :-) My husband is very supportive about me having this surgery. He is happy with my body but he knows I'm not and he wants me to be happy.
So, my journey will soon begin and I am sooo very excited! This web site has helped me alot. To read about all these ladies and the experiences (the pain, the beautiful bellies, the support) has helped me make my decision.

Hi Angela, what a nice present to yourself. You will be very glad you did it.
Having a supportive hubby is also extremely helpful. I couldn't have done it without mine! He was my nurse 24/7 for the first week post op. I think I wore the poor man out though! I was a bit like getting up with a new born five times a night. He did that too when our son was a baby but it has been 18 years so he was out of practice.
Will you be posting before and after pictures? It is fun to see the changes as you heal.

Hi all! It has been quite awhile since I have...

ANNNDDD...5 YEARS LATER....
A little bit about me, I am a whopping 5 ft 3 in. tall. I currently weigh 150. My goal for March is 140. 7 weeks to lose 10 pounds. I CAN DO THIS!! I love to exercise. I love to run and am currently training for the Disney Princess Glass Slipper Challenge next month. I love to lift weights, I love to challenge my body to perform at its fullest potential. And my body does not match all the working out and sweat i have poured out of it. I have a job that I absolutely love. My hubby is so supportive of this. He knows I'm doing this for me. He knows how uncomfortable I am with my belly. I am an apple shape, my PS pinched my legs and my arms and said "no fat". I silently agreed. Then he started tugging, pulling, and pinching my tiger stripped belly and said, "You're gonna love me when I'm done." Well, let me tell ya'll, i have seen pictures of ladies he has operated on and he is an artist! I cannot wait to see what this fella can do! I'm glad I am training for a run, that way most of my focus will be on that instead of the bundle of nerves that I am having when I think about my TT. Not so much a bad nervous, but a nervous-excited-anticipating-giddy feeling that I can't explain. Well, off to read some stories of the ladies that have already had surgery and are looking ahmazing! Please keep posting ladies. Any helpful tips are greatly appreciated. Pre and post op. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for sharing with US. :) I'm glad you get to do this for yourself. Please, please keep us updated on your tummy tuck journey. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Will you have lots of help with your kids while you're recovering?
