Is there any way to help prepare myself mentally and emotionally for the Mommy Makeover recovery process?

aksummers
I have read many posts where ladies were not prepared for the emotions they experienced through the healing processes. I'm confident there is no way to avoid these emotions but is there anything I can do to prepare myself emotionally for the recovery process? What can I expect to experience mentally and emotionally?
