Tummy Tuck Extra Skin Removal Thin and Fit

48 hours until I get a surgery I've wanted for 11 years! I gained 85lbs during pregnant with my daughter. A lot of it was excess fluid and she was a monster water, so I lost 60lbs in 2 months post c-section birth. The insecurities ive had surrounding my extra skin have been a struggle, getting easier as I've gotten older. In my 20s it was paralyzing and I was/am a single mom!
I work out a lot and am very fit, but as any major weight loss; skin is left over. People were always shocked that I wanted one, but plastic surgery isn't about what other people think! I'm doing this for me!
I'm very nervous about the recovery. I have two kids, one is older so that's good and my mom is around. It's just weird to think of not driving for 2 weeks and being very un-functional for that period AND not being able to workout for like 4 weeks!
I do trust my surgeon 100%. He did my breasts last year and I am very grateful he told me to do the procedures separately. I couldn't imagine being completely useless from neck to knees!
I'm worried about the scar, what my belly button will look like etc. overall though I'm PSYCHED! I've wanted this for over a decade. It actually seems surreal. I'll keep posting about my recovery. Doesn't seem like I need to prepare too much besides loose granny panty underwear, loose clothes in general. I have all my scripts. I admit I am not as nervous since this isn't my first procedure ever, but I know it'll be an emotional journey!

I am feeling really good. The Dr used experol which seems to actually be working. I went to the Dr today. He changed my gauze and i can't believe how awesome it looks! I have a flat stomach with no extra skin.. Amazing! Today is definitely a bit more painful than yesterday. All in all though, I am extremely happy I went through this!
I can't stand up straight yet, but that's ok. I'll post pics tomorrow when I'm changing my gauze.

I'm feeling very good, surprisingly so. My scar is big, which I expected. I guess I was hoping it would look smoother? I know it's hard to tell right now. I'm just going with it and not worrying about it (yet lol)..

I've added some pics. My back is starting to hurt from being hunched with over. I will say that I'm not as slouched over as much as I thought I would be.
