I have three children. I had my last child over 9 years ago. All were delivered by C-section. I later had a hysterectomy as well as an open abdominal surgery another year later. I currently have the c-section/hysterectomy scar as well as a scar going vertically from that scar up to and through my bb. If the scars are not bad enough, I have extreme stretch marks! My weight flexuated with all my pregnancies but I am currently at a good weight, and just can't get rid of the excess skin with out surgery.

Well, had my pre-op today, blood pressure was great! Blood work done.
I was surprised that I was given 4 prescriptions to have filled for after the surgery- 2 for pain- both oxycotin and oxycodone. That is a lot of pain meds : l . They also gave me one for antibiotics and one that is a blood thinner to take everyday for 7 days after the surgery. ( I had a DVT after c-section in 2003).
The surgery date can't come quick enough now!!! :)

Hey! I had to wait 4 days until I got a peak at how I looked. But I slept basically for those 4 days. Are you so excited???? Your surgery is soon!!Â
November 16, 2012
yes, so very excited- even more so when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror with all that darn skin!! I'm so ready for this! :)

LOL... I know. All surgeons are different. No worries, that first week goes by very fast and you'll probably sleep through most of it. I'm so excited for you!!!! A lot of the girls on here have used Dr. Vaughn and he does amazing work. I know you will be happy with your results. ;-)

:) Yes, they already prescribed me enough pain meds to make an elephant sleep for a week, so I am sure I won't remember much of the first week! :)

Time for a beautiful new tummy. Â The 27th is approaching fast so get ready. Â
