WORTH IT
Hello ladies, Well I have been reading all your amazing stories for some time now and it has helped so thought I would share. Im a mom to two amazing children, oldest will be 6 in may and my youngest will be 3 June. Im currently 5'5 154 (although in my eyes I feel a lot heavier). Im going to have tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo of the flanks on April 25. I am a ball of emotions! I thought I would be okay till the day of my tummy tuck but I purchased a hospital bed today (also supplement, cough drops, etc that I found on the April 2013 forum) and it made me want to back out . I feel a tummy tuck is all I think about and I spend most my free time looking at photos and stories on realself. I can't wait till I see what the skinny me looks like. 10 days and nervously counting!! Any advice is appreciated :-)

5 days and few hours left till my TT. I get butterfly thinking about it. Worried more of what could go wrong as my two kiddos count on me for everything! My husband is taking Thursday and Friday off from work. So he'll be with me four days than its back to work. It will be my 34 month old daughter and me (that sounds scary)!! I'm a only child and my mother passed in 2010 so I don't really have family close to help. I have only told my aunt about my surgery and all the other family members will stay in the dark. I picked up my prescription this morning and thank goodness my husband has good insurance for us. I have read about some women paying almost $100 for their prescription with insurance. My total was $15 for the three prescriptions. I have had a few messages wondering why I purchased the hospital bed. Guess I really didnt think to write about it before but My home is two story's and I feel it would be best not to climb all my stairs to lay in bed. I do have a recliner and a couch that reclines but I just want to be able to somewhat rest. So my husband and I have moved our china cabinet and parked my bed in our dinning room. Which it bothers me being there as I like things to be in their place! I plan on using the hospital bed for 2 weeks then I selling it. So lady if your in the charlotte lake Norman area, look for it on Criagslist in May. It will be cheap to get it out my house!! Anyways I have rambled enough! Stay strong to all on the flat side and good luck to those of us that are still waiting!

WOW 5 days!!! I am going to be reading and learning alot about the process from you if you choose to keep your review updated. Do you plan on posting pics at all? I was wondering if insurance would pic up the labs and meds...do you know what they are looking at in the blood work?
April 19, 2013
I do plan on keeping realself updated :) maybe ill learn a few tricks to help others. I had to have labs and so far I haven't recieved a bill for it. Fingers crossed my insurance will cover most if not all! With my labs, I had two test. Glucose test and something else lol. That might sounds bad but I don't remember the name the nurse said. Do you have to have lab work done? Ill post pictures Soon. Not sure if I can do it off my iPhone. Take care
April 19, 2013
YaY! Can't wait to see the pics! Esp the afters! At the consult the ps said I would have to have lab work done but at the time I wasn't thinking anything of it so I didn't ask.

Just looked at your before pics and our builds are very similar. I am not having lipo cause I feel like my ribcage is so big that is would look funny if I had no lovehandles to equal out the silouette! LOL!

NcTuckMom2 - you are beautiful now :) and I am extremely interested in following your progress - so, please be sure to keep us posted with your comments and photos. I am also jealous as you are getting yours done in a few days and I still have to wait 5 months (scheduling around work, etc. was not easy). I feel like we are very similar built so, another reason very anxious to see your results. BTW, I think the hospital bed was a great idea -- maybe your husband can be your sexy nurse ? wink~wink Best of luck on surgery and happy healing - flat tummy for you is on the way !!!!!

Myturn4_flat you are too sweet!!!! You made my day! Sept. will be here before you know it. It's great you found a time that fit your needs. So excited for you to have the stomach you have always wanted!! I certainly know how it feels to find time. I've been waiting and going to consultations since late August of last year and I thought I would never find the right time to have it done. My husband being a sexy nurse would be wonderful thanks for the idea ;-) I'm going follow your story as well. Can't wait to see the new flat tummy!

NcTuckMom2April 24, 2013
Oh my GoSH!!! That's how I feel lol. Am I really going to do this tomorrow or am I going to be a CRAZY women and hide!?! My surgery time is 12:30 have to be there at 11:30 but still waiting on the conformation call that I am supposed to recieve! I have everything lined up and car pack. It feels like im going on a vacation. Suppose being put to sleep for three hours (no interruptions) is a nice vacation for this mommy! I'm praying everything goes smooth with no complications! Although I started my period Tuesday, the nurse said it should be okay to still move forward with the surgery. How embarrassing this is going to be!!! Monday, I started my Botanical kit that my surgeon gave me. It's two pills three times a day three days prior to surgery. The kit includes Arnica that ill take after the surgery. My husband jokes that I have swallowed a bottle of stool softeners but since the birth of my 2nd child, things only move every three or five days. I'm trying not to be one of those that back up and bloat from constipation. BUT I do have milk a magnesia by my hospital bed along with the bottle of stool softeners that I have swallowed lol! I purchased compression socks from target last night and my house about had a fell over when he saw its was $21 for one pair. When my husband get nervous he makes jokes about things and I've gotten used to it after 10 years but I would just like some positive comments from him. I feel I'm going at this alone... My husband won't be able to walk in or sit with me before surgey because he'll have our kids with him. With non of my friends knowing, I haven't been able to talk to anyone but my great realself TT sisters!!! Im very Thankful for you guys!!!!! Flat side.. Here I come!!
