I've dreamed about having a tummy tuck for YEARS! I'm a 31 year old with 3 previous C - sections ... I lost over 120 lbs after my last daughter and my stomachs brutal :( So I've decided to go for it. I started the process a year ago with Dr.Tumi in Barrie On. HE IS AMAZING! Very understanding and listens well. Now my tummy tuck is this Thursday and I'm soooooooooo nervous! I will post before and afters :)

I've done it!! YAY!!! Dr. Tumi was excellent, a real honor to have him as my surgeon. He was confident and polite :) Not just a excellent surgeon just a very nice person all in all!
The pain so far is NO WHERE like I had pictured from others blog entries. The nurses here in RVH are just lovely. Drugs make you sleepy and these air beds are hard to sleep on as every 5 minutes or less it kicks on and fills with air (not much sleeping tonight lol )

The surgery was 2.5 hours in length which included some lipo on my love handles

Car ride was long (we live an hour away) but I made it.. I'm snuggled into bed.
I was happily suprised that Dr. Tumi put a request in for a nurse to come to my home and check the drainage bags and change the dressings.
I'm just very tired.. i haven't taken a whole lot of pain pills, I don't much like taking them unless needed. I go in and out of sleep. I have major bruising on my sides from the lipo I guess. I've been up walking since last night (just walking to and from the bathroom) it really helps!
I will take some more pictures tomorrow :)
