Three Kids in 3 Years and Ready for the Op - Brisbane, Australia

My husband and I married in 2006, I got pregnant straight away with our first child , when our daughter was only three months old I got pregnant with my second daughter. I was still carrying extra weight from my first pregnancy and continued to gain over 30kg with my second. I lost all the weight plus more after my second and then accidently fell pregnant when she was 9 months old! I kept up my running during the third pregnancy and only gained 18kg although it has taken me nearky a year to get it off. My stomach was wrecked after my third as he was a largish baby (9pd) and I am only very small.

In my opinion I needed a tummy tuck before kids as I was VERY overweight as a child/teen and the skin just stretched and never went back to normal. Stretch marks are not too bad, most of them are below my belly button with about half an inch above the belly button.

I am a self confessed gym junkie and have worked extremely hard to get the fittest Ive been for this surgery, using a personal trainer two times a week and running every other day. I am at my goal weight of 63kg and I am 5'5, i am not interested in being a skinny minnie, I am happy at that weight, my belly is the part that has bothered me my whole life.

So my surgery is sceduled for Wdnesday the 20th April. Unfortunatly I have to travel there without my family as we have a business and three young kids so my husband will stay home with them. I will have my brother with me for the surgery day.

So I am hoping tht the days of picking clothes to hide my belly are gone. Im also kinda over being asked whether I am pregant!!!!!. My aim is to keep updating this. Also I had three natural labours so I have no idea what this pain will be like as I have not had a csection.
