I am so excited that I have scheduled my surgery. I have been reading all the posts here and taking notes to ask my doctor. I went about 8 years ago for a consult but decided to wait, due to financial reasons. I am so excited and hope that I can get the results I want. When I was 2 I was involved in an accident and they did exploratory surgery on me. The doctor cut me from my breast bone to my pelvic bone. I have a horrible scar and after two pregnancies it only got worse. I am hoping with the tummy tuck and the scar revision I won't think of my stomach as another "being", which is how I look at it now. I can't wait to get rid of this ugly thing that is supposed to be my stomach. I breast fed both of my kids and they are super healthy. But, my breasts only look good in a bra. I like my breasts but they are "lazy" without the bra and lack volume. I would forgo the breast lift and augmentation but I am afraid I will regret it and I might as well do it all now! I work out alot and I am very active. I don't really care about my size but I want to be firm and don't want mushy parts that hang over my clothing. I hope that the pain and downtime I suffer is worth it in the end. I can tell from the other posts that I will need to wait several months to see the results from my surgery.

This is it
When I was pregnant my babies stayed on one side of my stomach because of my scar. It caused one side of my stomach to stretch and hang more than the other. I have lived with this scar since I can remember and it only got worse after pregnancy. I can't wait to have a real belly button. I haven't ever really had much of one. Anything has to be better looking than this.

Lipo?
I emailed my doctor's office and asked if my procedure included lipo? They said yes, he usually does lipo around your sides to even out your curves after the TT. Has anyone paid for extra lipo? If so, do you think it was worth it? I'm getting excited and nervous. I am so busy between now and my surgery. I'm kind of looking forward to being "down" for awhile.
