I am 27 years old, and have a beautiful little girl ( 3 ) but she came a quite a cost to my body, as I am sure you all know. After marathon running for years in the military, and the birth of my angel my prolapsed bladder finally did me in. The state of my tummy wasn't a pretty sight, the loose saggy skin and the strech marks made me feel horrible about my body. So after 3 years of waiting I am going through with my tummy tuck.

April 4th 2011 can't get here fast enough. I will post pics soon :D

Any advice from you wonderful and brave women who have gone before me whould be amazing.

Well everone it is Tummy Tuck Eve and I feel like a kid on Christmas eve. I am so excited I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight :) I just can't believe after 3 years of planning for this, that my time is finally here!

Well the 4th of May makes it 4 weeks post op. I am a bit sore but nothing like I was scared it would be. I am getting around quite well and almost standing up straight now. Oh and I can drive :) My lower lumbar area of the spine is very sore, though I think this will go away as soon as I can stand correctly again. I can't wait to see the full result.

I went to many of the local doctors here in TN and Dr. Lucas is just amazing!! I would recommend him to anyone looking for an overall great surgery process.
