Tummy Tuck Journey, Canberra Australia

I'm just starting on my tummy tuck journey. I've had three babies, all of them were around 10lbs/4.5kgs and that did some damage to my tummy. I hate it. It's disgusting. I really really need to get rid of it and the only way to do that is surgery.

If you look at me with clothes on you probably wouldn't even think that I'm hiding a big saggy baggy flap of stomach flesh in my pants. But I am. And its gross.

I have 2 weeks and 6 days until my first appointment with a plastic surgeon and then 4 days after that I'm seeing another surgeon. Am looking at having the procedure done in Feb, March or April 2014.

I've uploaded some pics of me clothed and unclothed. First time I've ever showed anyone (outside my immediately family) what i'm hiding everyday... Kinda feel a little sick now.

Not much to update. Just excited!! This time in two weeks I will have had my first consult with a PS. Can't stop reading/thinking/breathing/living all things tummy tuck related! Trying really hard to not bombard my hubby with my thoughts. And it has only been 6 days since my first post on here and I'm waiting for the days to pass by so I can write another post. sigh.

Another 6 days have passed. And I have 6 days until 1st consult.... Man these days seem to be going ssoooooo ssslllloooooooooowww. New day, same story. Can't stop searching this site. I'm on it more than FB!!!

I am feeling a bit more motivated again to get back into running. Well, its more of a walk and I break out into a jog, then walk, then jog, then walk then I jog the rest of the way home. Have started walking with a friend a few days per week. Its nice. On the days we don't walk together, I do my usual track: Up the street, up the path, up the hill, around the fire trail on the hill, down the hill, down the path, down the street and home again. Did it with my daughter (8yrs) yesterday IN THE RAIN! That's how motivated I am right now. And she kept up with me pretty well too...!

I paid for my second consult and received the receipt in the mail yesterday. It was a little exciting to see the envelope with the surgeons name on it. Makes it a bit more real.

Debating whether or not to look into borrowing my parents recliner or just tough it out with my lounge and bed. Other TT'ers have said a TT is not as bad as having a C-section, some say its worse! I've have 2 C-sections so I kind of know a little bit what to expect?? Maybe...?? Sigh.

One of the gentlemen who work on my floor got stuck in the lift the other day. I've sworn to never use the lift again. So far I've stuck with it!! (Yeah ok, I'm only on the 4th floor...) But it's 103 steps... that's better than the lift!! :)
