Finally a Flat and Smooth Tummy Coming! - Arlington, TX

I've gone through all the mixed emotions and doubts of getting a makeover. I've considered the cost, the risk and the time of recovery. I went to a 3 different doctors before narrowing down. I narrowed down to Dr. Nakamura for a couple of reasons, he is close to me. He offers a discount for getting multiple procedures, he is able to do the full tummy tuck, lipo, and breast lift and implants all at once. Not to mention I know someone who has had work done from him before. Oh I saw came on here to real self and saw really good reviews about him. I had my first consult with him in December, I took time to think about it. I went back to see him this week, and paid my deposit and scheduled for July 11.

I have 8 weeks to go and I'm very excited. I am trying to gather any information that may be helpful. I am wondering how necessary is a recliner? Do I buy bra's before hand? How long will it be before I can carry my toddler? Do I need to wear a surgical girdle and for how long and from where?
I will post pics as we get closer to the time. Just a little about myself, I have 4 children all vertical C-sections. My oldest is 17 and my youngest 14 months.

I am counting the weeks which are going by too slow if you ask me. I have 7 more weeks. I have found myself working out lately since I read that I need to be in good shapes since I will not be able to work out for a bit afterwards and that I will need my leg muscles since I will not be able to use my ab's.
