I am a 33 year old mother of a beautiful 5 year old girl. ...I have never really had a flat stomach. ...so I am interested in getting a tummy tuck with some lipo by my bra fat...
I am currently looking for a PS to help me...I have had several consults and I still have not made a decision...I want to make the right decision...there is a lot of money on the line and I want to make sure it's done correctly and I have been waiting a long time to have a flat belly...this is an important decision
Can't believe it's going to happen
I cannot believe in exactly one month from now I will be getting my surgery....I feel so anxious. ...I have been trying to get cosmetic surgery since I was in my 20s (due to the fact that I never had a flat stomach)...but you have to wait until it's God's time for you. ..I will try to post some pictures tomorrow. ...
looking at myself in the mirror
Today after my shower.. I did something I have never done before. ..I looked at myself in the mirror. ...I usually take my shower.....and go straight to my room and lotion myself in there....but today I looked at myself. ...I guess because I know as 4/4 ..it's going to be different. .

Pre-Op. .Appt
Well...I went for my Pre-Op appt..today went well...I can't believe it...The time is approaching so fast
Nerves/Acid Reflex

Penny and Dr.Schaffer
I was telling Penny..how much we love her on RS....and as usual. .she never fails...today she was sweet as pie....she has got to be the sweetest nurse on staff. ..Although we had to wait a hour in a half to see him because Dr.Schaffer had an emergency surgery. ..He came in good spirit even cracking a joke and made me laugh. ...He is a good PS....
Exparel
ANYONE that is planning on doing a TT...PLEASE invest in the Exparel. ..it is a great investment. ...I am now winging myself off the pain medication and muscle relaxed. ..Tylenol since yesterday as well as today. ...I am even driving...not a lot but I drove today...it is worth the money. ..I am not in as much pain that I thought I would have been. ..and I think it's because of the experal....Please if you can't afford to get it wait until you can pay the extra for the experal. .you will thank me for it later and you will appreciate it...Thank the GOOD LORD. ..I listened to one of my fellow sisters on RS..I am glad I did
