Since I had my 9 lb son in December 2008, I've pretty much known that having a tummy tuck would be the only option to get my stomach back into place. Now my dream is finally about to become a reality! I'm nervous, anxious, but most of all: EXCITED!!!

I have tried many different procedures to avoid having to have something so invasive. Laser lipo, pulsed light skin tightening, moderately invasive liposculpting, personal trainers, crazy diets, you name it!

I am 23, 5'7", and weigh 170 (although it may not show because I have a lot of muscle).

That's sweet of you, I try to keep myself in shape despite my stomach issue. Lol my son was my little turkey. Lipo to the hips will also be a part of my surgery. I'm praying for the best!

Tummy tuck, lipo and breast reduction, but he would like me to lose 20 pds first.

You will do great, the waiting for your dat is the hardest. Keep busy, eat clean, monitor what suplements/ vitamins you are using, omit alcohol.

Thank you! For the most part I keep a clean diet (besides my cheat meal), and workout 3-5 times a week. Now that it's so close to my procedure time, I can only take my multi.

As far as my procedure, I will also be having liposuction to my hip area, to avoid any "dog ears" from the tuck itself.

2 weeks from today is the big day! It's crazy how much I cannot get this out of my head. All I can think about is finally getting the procedure done. Kinda like having a child, the whole process is a "hurry up and wait" type of thing.
Due to the prerequisites for surgery, now all I can take are my multivitamins, which is confusing my body a bit. No preworkout, CLA, Green Tea, probiotic, or fish oil...it sucks! I know it will be well worth it in the long run though.

Dahlia, your "pre" body is gorgeous (except for that laxness in the tummy - no fault of yours). I really look forward to seeing your results. Brave girl! I hope it goes well for you :-)

The past couple of weeks should have been full of excitement and happy jitters from my upcoming procedure, but unfortunately that's not the case.
My grandmother passed, so my son and I have had to drive back and forth from Houston to New Orleans a few times. Attended the funeral yesterday, but due to work I had to come back earlier thank I would've liked. Didn't get home last night until almost 1am, and got right back up at 7 for work.
Thank God for the week I will be off!! That way I can get some much needed rest, I'm physically and emotionally drained.
