36 Yr Old Mummy of 2 Bubs. Im Booked in and Ready to Go Tummy Tuck. I'm Absolutely Petrified! - Australia, AU

I wish you the best of luck. Are you having your work done here in Australia

Congrats on your upcoming surgery hon.... Just a few more days! !

Good luck!!! Looking forward to updates.

I recently had abdominalplasty & hernia repair with mesh 10/02/13. I had rock hard abs prior to my boys whom destoyed my muscles since they were both huge. From what I can see in your pic, yours isn't near as bad as mine WAS! I'm amazed how diiferent I already look and I'm almost 4 weeks post surgical. I'm very excited to finally b out of maternity clothing after 7 years of tummy torment! Good luck, its hard but well worth it!

I underwent the same surgery last week (Tuesday 22nd October) for exact same reasons. I too got sick of being asked when I was due. So I did it. I underwent major surgery to be just left alone and to once again feel confident in being me. I'll be honest and I hope that that is what you want. So much pain. So so so much pain for the first 3 days, then it eased and I haven't had pain killers since Saturday night. I am still sleeping in an up right position with pillows under knees and I still can not stand fully up right, but I can tell you I honestly I feel it was worth it. It's hard not being there for my boys. Not being able to play with them cuddle them and chase them like they and I want. But it's going to be even better once I am better. I know that without a doubt. Make sure you have plenty of help for at least the first two weeks and you'll do great. Take loose nighties to wear in hospital and be prepared for the uncomfortableness that is the compression suit. Good luck

I *LOVE* what you said "the positive out of this negative stomach is that it held the most precious little people in my life". I honestly welled up *sniffles*. So true isn't it? We go through so much, our poor bodies get put through the ringer! You will do just fine hon. Yes it hurts but it's nothing you can't handle, you've had kids (which I think was way worse lol) Take your pain meds around the clock and rest and do not try to push yourself! The hardest part of this for me was/is having others d things for me. I am very independent and hard headed (don't tell hubby I said that ;) and having him take care of the kids, laundry and the house not being cleaned to my liking was the worst. Lol! Crazy huh? You'll do great hun, keep us updated! You can pm me anytime!! *hugs* xxxx

I have said the same thing about my belly-great job carrying two babies! Now, I'm ready to say goodbye and move on to the flat side. It's so frustrating, I can work out like crazy and still look 4 or 5 mths preggers, lol. I have great soaz (sp?) muscles, and I Swear that's from Constantly sucking my belly in!! Anyhow, I just wanted to say Good Luck on Monday. I'm glad you have help after. From what I can see of the picture, the rest of you is pretty tiny so the difference this is going to make will astound you! Keep us updated. I'm excited to follow your story. Just remember, all the hands that work on you in the hospital are doing their best to give you fantastic results. Keep reminding yourself how strong you are, and how well you healed from the c sections. You will do Great! :)

You are not alone- I am referencing my new look. I have a vision in my mind. I am sure you will start to calm down once the day arrives!
