Just over 3 weeks!
So I've just over 3 weeks until my surgery and it's fully hit me (as paid in full Friday) that I'm actually having this done!
Am I nervous? Hell yeah!.....but the relief of finally being confident in myself and body again after so many years is keeping me from being too scared. I know it's gonna hurt, but what's a few weeks of discomfort to a lifetime of feeling fab?
Am not getting a recliner (I haven't the space) but has anyone used pillow wedges? What's people's thoughts?
I also had my pre op last week, meet the surgeon again (who is confident he can get good results).......now just have the agonising wait!! :-)

You'll be absolutely fine and won't regret it! I'm 5 weeks post op now and soooo glad I did it!
In terms of pain, I had prepared for the worst - I had a bad delivery/ emergency c-section last year so was expecting similar or worse pain but I was pleasantly surprised. I haven't really experienced any pain - just discomfort. My advice would b to make sure you keep on top on pain killers and rest... don't over do it, let your body heal.
I didn't buy/hire a recliner, I just used normal pillows. The reclining bed in hospital was a god send and was needed for the 3 nights I was in. However once at home I just used 4 pillows behind me propping me up and 3 pillows under my knees. Sleeping isn't the most comfortable I must admit but you'll get used to it. You may experience some back pain as a result of your rigid posture and sleeping position but again, keep on top of pain meds to help.
Good luck!!! If you have any more question, ask away! :-)

Thanks! Your pictures look amazing! I'm so excited to see what mine looks like after!
I'm in for 2 nights and have already started stocking up on pillows!
I've also prepared myself for the worst, I've never had a c-section so can't compare it to that, but will definitely stay ahead with the pain meds.....my ps also advices this :-)
Am sure I'll be full of questions nearer the time! X

Hi luv i am just at the stage of trying to choose a surgeon and frankly its proving tricky! As im sure you know! How many did you see and what made you finally decide on the one your are going with! Would really apreciate your advice! Many thanks and wishing you a speedy recovery. I live in Reading so would be great to have the details of your surgeon if thats ok? Em

Hi there i have just been reading xour post re choosing a surgeon. I had my extended tt 5 weeks ago. When i decided to go ahead with the procedure, l was concerned who to go to. I spoke to my gp to get his recommendation. The man he told me about has been great, i live in nuneaton warks and if you lived in my area i would recommend him. You need to trust whoever does your op. I hope this is useful info for you and good luck to you

We can certainly encourage each other. I'm getting a boob job with my full tummy tuck as well!
I have a recliner chair and slept in it the first night out of hospital, it made things easier for me. Use lots of pillows to help support you in bed
Good luck and god bless.
