midriff

8 days po - feeling great! Hopefully my drains come out tomorrow. :-)

I've been following your journey! You are an inspiration! How much weight did you lose after your TT?

You are welcome :-)

My dear friend! It is absolutely natural to be anxious! We all were. If you only knew the morbid thoughts that I lived with for weeks prior to surgery. I even wrote a note in my journal to my husband and kids in case I died. When the doc asked me, during pre-op, if I had any questions, I told him that I have two small kids and I don't want to die - to which he said, 'that is ridiculous, I will not even entertain that possibility.' And it is true - you will wake up from the surgery and it will probably all feel like a dream (it did to me). About the vital organs: if you do more reading on abdominoplasty, you will find out that this type of surgery does not get anywhere near your internal organs. It's all about skin, muscle and fat. Your surgeon will not see your organs!! - be at ease about that. Time will fly and soon you will be like me and the others - weeks into your recovery and happy you did it. Stay positive and keep your eyes on the prize!! :-)

Oh, that is good to know!

He is very good! I think we made a great choice.
