2 year post op tummy tuck

Hey everyone I thought I would share a little about myself and my reasons for deciding to get a tummy tuck. I'm a single mommy of 2 awesome kidos. I was blessed to have a boy and a girl. But as many of you women know pregnancy can take a major toll on our bodies. Already being the chubby child growing up I always had to work extra hard to keep slim. And even then my abs never looked the way I wish. With my first child I but on 60 + pounds. Very Depressing!!!!:( My son was just about 8 months old when I found out I was pregnant again this time with my girl.I was'nt able to really lose the baby weight till my daugther was about 6 mos old. And then I lost another 150 pounds. "My kids father" :)

Being over weight and losing my figure made me sad, depressed, and even bitter.Now that I have some what of my figure back I am now faced with sagging skin. Not Cute!!! I always new that at some point I would get a tummy tuck. My kids are older now and very self independent. It's mommy time now. I want my body back and some self esteem. I want to look in the mirror and be happy, not depressed. I want to feel on the outside like I feel in the inside. I want to feel confident in my clothes. I just want to feel attractive again. It's been such a long time since I've loved myself.

The unfourtunate part of this journey is I dont have a lot of supporters out there. Most in my family dont agree with me getting plastics. So I have choosen to not tell them when my surgery is. My bestfriend and mother will be with me. I'm less than 2 weeks away and already super nervous!!!! I will not let the negative people around me change my mind on this. I know that this is what I want. And I deserve it!!! I will keep posting updates and later post pictures of this whole process. Thank you to those who have read my blog. Johanna

8 days left and I'm getting all I need my prescriptions filled, my multi vitamins, and last will be grocery shopping. I have no clue on what I should get. I don't know if I will even have an appetite after the surgery. Everytime I think of the surgery I get more and more nervous. And I can't believe its actually gonna happen. My next update will be the night before my surgery.

Wow less than 24 hours left for me to go under the knife! I'm really scared, and very emotional. I can't believe its really happening. I've been cleaning my house like crazy. I got my recliner delivered yesterday. I've gonna grocery shopping. I got my wipes since according to my plastic surgeon I wont be able to shower. He said my drains will remain in for a week at least maybe longer. Man the thought of not showering. Ugh! And to make matters worse my monthly is due anytime now. I'm due at the surgery center at 7:30 am. My surgery is at 9:30 am. Wish me luck everyone!
