After birthing 5 kids (last two were 9 pounds) my stomach is in need of repair! I'm 5'6 and 145 pounds, so not terribly overweight, but my stomach sticks out like I'm 3 months pregnant and I hate it! It's so hard to find cloths that fit my skinny legs and my waist, and I usually wear my shirts too big to try and hide the gut.. So finally I have saved enough to get my tummy tuck!! Yayyy! When I went for my consult the PT said that I only needed a mini because I didn't have enough lose skin for a full, so I'm hoping to get the results I want. It's now 2 weeks til surgery and I'm starting to get nervous about recovery, I have 10 days off after, but I am a server and work on my feet, so hoping that it will be enough time. I absolutely can't wait to look normal again!!

Not much longer! One thing I will suggest to anyone having the surgery done, if you don't already have a seat in your shower then I would invest in one! I wasn't going to get one bc I knew I'd probably never need it again but I ended up ordering one from amazon for $20 and I'm so glad I did bc I almost pass out every time I get in the shower! I don't know if its from removing my dressing and seeing more of the war area or just not the act of the compression garment being off leaving me feeling like a noodle! JMI it was well worth it. :)

It's finally here! Night before surgery and I'm feeling excited and nervous at the same time. I just got off the phone with the nurse at the clinic going over last Minuit instructions, I can't believe after all the saving, planning and talking that it is finally going to happen.. Cute new summer cloths here I come!! Lol I will post pics as soon as possible:-) wish me luck!
I think it's pretty amazing that after 5 kids you don't have more skin:) Mine never bounced back like that..LOL
You will love the results.
