I am 24 years old, and a mother of 2. I am going in for a T/T April, 16th. I am very confident in my doctor. He takes his time in explaining everything to me. When ever I have any questions I email him, and get a reply back within 24 hours. His staff has been so helpful also. They are so nice, and by my second visit to his office they already knew, and remembered my name. I have heard such good things about this doctor, and thats why I have been willing to drive 3 hours to go see him.

I m charging my camera right now, and will post before photo's later on today.

It's April 8th, and 8 days till my surgery. I am getting very nervous as my surgery date gets closer and closer. I have been on you tube looking at before and after tummy tuck surgeries. I've seen alot of good results. A hand ful of bad ones, but more good then bad. Looking at all these videos is making me think; "what do I want out of this surgery." I'm a very realistic person. I'm not hoping for some miracle. But I really am hopeing for a few things. One of the things is a low tummy tuck scar. I'm 24, and I want to look good in my low rise jeans. ;) And second I want a flat tummy. Thats all. I'm not worried about my stretch marks. They don't bother me at all. I honestly would not mind a flat tummy, and stretch marks for days. No one but my husband is going to see me naked anyways. And thats really all I want. Going back to how nervous I am...I'm very nervous because I don't know what to expect after the surgery. Like, the pain, and what will my body be going through.  Okay, Okay that is the end of my rant.

Good luck and check out the Mommy makeover section. there are other people who have had TTs and they post what is going on with them (i.e. swelling, dicomfort, etc.). We will be having surgery around the same time...I'm having mine on April 19th :o)

Its 5 days till my surgery, and I'm getting more and more excited. I went to the store and got a few things. Please let me know if I need to get a few more things. I got a few books, a few button up dresses, and sweat pants. A pair of slippers, a bunch og gatorade to keep mu electrolites up, and keep me hydraited. I also got low rise undies so I dont irritate my scar. And a bikini bottom. My doc told me to wear a bikini bottom to my surgery so he knows how low I want my scar. Is there anything else that I should get?

Books are great, but I couldn't read after my TT mostly because of the drugs, and not being able to concentrate, make sure you have movies to watch! Also, depending on where your sleeping, recliner V.S. bed, make sure you have ample amounts of plump pillows! Make sure that you change your sheets that morning so if you are sleeping in your bed you won't have to fuss with wanted nice clean sheets after your surgery. Don't forget to have lots of pre-cut fresh veggies and fruits if you can tolerate them, they are packed full of necessary antioxidants that your body will love you for in recovery! Snacks, healthy snack, when you take your pain meds you will need to have a little snack so your tummy doesn't upset. Bending over is a huge problem after surgery, so make sure to have slip on shoes ... face wipes to wash your face, anything to prevent you from having to lean any further forward than you have to, your back will hurt enough. After your surgery, try standing up as straight as possible as soon as possible, it will be uncomfortable, but it will be good for you. GOOD LCUK!!!!
