Hello, I'm 34yo and have 3 kids, my youngest is almost 10 and I've had my ugly tummy for quite a while. I wanted to do this for over 2 years, so this has been very thought out. My sister had a tt a little over a year ago and looks amazing. I will be going to the same doctor she used. My amazing husband has taken time off work and I'm so happy he's a firefighter cuz he has been showing me ways he will lift me and I have to put very little effort into it. I've done all my homework and looked up so much info. I am 5 days away and have my "freak out" moments where I get scared, but mostly excited. I can't wait to be on the "flat side"!!! I know swelling is a big deal, and from everything I've read the best thing is lots and lots and lots of fluids and good compression garments. I'm super scared of constipation, but plan on taking some MiraLAX during recovery.... yikes, beware of the C monster!! I also know that emotions are a big deal and I'm gonna feel frustrated and cry baby at times, but thanks to this site I know it will pass and I know it will be worth it. I've paid in full, got all my perscriptions filled so basically I'm on the roller coaster, there's no getting off...and it's going up up up... I'm waiting for the big drop and its Ahhhhh scary, exciting, Oh Em Geee... this is happening!! I think after it's all said and done my biggest thing is going to do everything possible to have a normal looking belly button, so if anyone has some amazing tips on how to babysit the bella, please share :)

Todays the day!!! Its 5 am, I have to be at the surgery center at 6 so gonna take shower and head over. Thonught I wouldn't sleep, but slept well. Right now I feel calm and at peace, maybe cuz I've accepted this morning, hope nerves don't kick in too bad once I get there. Ready to be on the flatside and have no more anticipation. Let's do this!!
