I am schelduled for a full TT with repair of hernia and lipo of the flanks on October 28th, 2011. I have had two kids, my youngest is 3 1/2 years old. Last one was a c-section. I am 5'11" and 155 pounds. Not very large but tired of looking preganant all the time.

All the paperwork is now finalized, just waiting. I know that everything will go fine and that the 28th is just around the corner. I do my labs on the 24th. I am very confident in my surgeons abilities. He has been doing this for 17 years and I have saw hundreds of before and after pictures that he has done but I am still a little nervous, but I guess that's normal. Just hoping for a smooth and speedy recovery! This website has been so helpful for me. I am from a small southern town where plastic surgery is taboo so to say. I am glad that I have found a awesome support group to help encourage me!!

Ok so friday I started taking Chromagen Forte Caplets. My surgeon gave these high power iron tablets to me because after my c-section I became anemic and it took over 2 years of iron pills to bring my iron levels back up so hopefully taking these 2 times a day three weeks before my surgery and three months after will prevent that from happenning to me again. The only problem is iron pills wreck havoc on my tummy!! One day severally consipated, the next can't stop going. But I understand that it's for the best :) Two weeks from today will be my pre-op and lab work and two weeks from friday will be my actual surgery. My sister is getting married on the 22nd so bridal shower this saturday, wedding the saturday after then surgery the friday after so I know the time will fly by. I was schelduled for last friday the 7th but I have to be the maid of honor so I picked the 28th, which is best all around because I will have hubby, sister and both parents around to help with me and the kids all the weekend and week after to help with me not having to do anything but focus on myself and recovering.
