Peppyrose - United Kingdom

Hi I am 52 and scheduled for surgery. I have never had weight problem until 3 years ago I had hysterectomy. I put on 3 stones. During that time I lost 3 friends in cancer, lost mum and mum in law as well. This should not be the reason of putting on weight and am ashamed but what to do I felt lost and depressed without these people in my life. I have lost one stone.

My stomach is big and saggy. I dont mind the weight gain in other parts of my body but not stomach so have decided to go for tummy tuck, nothing seems to fit and am fed up of looking constantly pregnant when am not. Hubby will not support me and my decision and I feel very much alone. I will have to do this all alone. I am scared nervous and worried. This site is very helpful and hope I will get courage and moral support from all other TTtuckers.

Hi everyone! Today has been difficult and busy day, cleaned the house,went shopping for travel size toiletries and few other things. Packed my little bag as I have to stay 2 nights in hospital.

Hi everyone! Today 8th day post op and I feel better and happy and little more energetic than past few days where I got tired without doing much. Sat on a chair next to the tub bent my head over the tub and washed my hair, dried it put light makeup on and felt lady like! ( body was just wipe down job). Although I cant see my new BB or Stomach as it is plstered and binder on but I can definetly see the flatness of the stomach ! I am really happy and cant wait for the plasters to come off on tuesday. feel few sharp twinges may be just healing process. Hope everyone who is going through this journey are feeling better and will remember all in my prayers....
