Full Tummy Tuck Along with Fibroid Removal ,Age 35 - Boston, MA

So, over the past few months, I've been going back and forth to the doctors and recently met w a surgeon to remove 2 huge fibroid tumors that are causing me to be uncomfortable and anemic. Before I met w her, my mind started turning...thinking if I needed to go under the knife..I wondered if it would be possible to do a tummy tuck at the same time. I have a horizontal scar from a previous myomectomy when I was 17 and a bikini line c section scar..they have healed well, however my stomach has a lot of stretch marks as well as a saggy pouch. I asked her if they can do that..and she said yes. So I went ahead w meeting w the plastic surgeon. I am currently about 20lbs overweight..So, it's not like The timing is perfect, but I can't put off this surgery for much longer. I'm 5'8 currently 170. My belly due to the fibroids is the size of a 4-5 month pregnancy so it's hard to tell what's fat or bloat from the tumors..needless to say I'm totally uncomfortable. I met w the Plastic surgeon 10/31...he said that I would benefit greatly and this combined surgery is done often..I am super super excited to have both surgeries for many reasons! He said that I will get a small discount because they are combined...so it will be about 1000.00 less..roughly about 9,000.00 ! Yikes, but honestly I know it's going to be well worth it. I will post pics soon!

As I take these pictures, I'm actually starting to become thankful for these huge fibroids! I would not be seeking a tummy tuck now if it was not for them..and Im feeling blessed! I started today being totally conscious of my eating habits, no more chocolates...I drank tons of water through the day and walked the beach tonight...I have a new goal of getting healthy and fit again..! I'm still waiting for them to call me w a date! I'm hoping to go in asap, but if they offer me a date mid December I may just hold off until after the holidays...but I don't know!

Went to Zumba last night..( I'm going to miss not going after my procedure for about 4 weeks...that was one of my questions I had for him..How soon can I go back to Zumba?) unfortunately I've eaten a few cookies here and there..but for the most part my eating has been better. Something I've been wondering is if I have another baby in the next couple years. Now, Im a single mother, not in a relationship at the moment...I always wanted another baby, however when my most recent relationship ended a few months ago...( we were together 6 years) I started looking at things...Im 35...I've been blessed already once w a great boy who just turned 9. I'm open to it another baby( Id love it), but since I have no current plans w another person..it would be silly not to do something like this. Who knows..this might help me be confident enough to actually want to date again. Lots of thoughts..I want to post some pictures of me in clothes..most people think I look fine...Im almost 5'8 and I've always been about to carry my extra weight w out looking really big.. Update soon
