I'm so nervous, and excited at the same time. I have my tummy tuck in 12 days :) I have done so much research on tummy tucks, so I know I need to have realistic expectations. I may not come out of surgery looking like a model, but I KNOW I won't have this UGLY stomach that I carry around now. I can't wait till I can post some before and after photos.

I can't believe that in a week I will be having my surgery! With each day I get more and more excited, and nervous too. (the nervous part is just because it's a surgery). I went and got my scripts filled today, I have to admit that giving myself a shot in the stomach for the 10 days following surgery scares me ..I keep thinking it's gonna hurt in a place that will already be hurting! Well I'm going to just enjoy this
Thanksgiving and I hope you all do the same too...

well I only have a few days left before my TT yea!!!!! I got a lot of things done this weekend such as most of my Christmas shopping, grocerys bought and house cleaned. I work tomorrow then I am off till January. I will spend Tuesday catching up on laundry, and getting everything ready for my overnight stay at hospital, and making sure everything is where I need it when I get home. I'm a little worried about how I'm going to sleep once Im home. I don't have a recliner, but I do have a chair with ottoman, I think I will try to sleep in because sleeping with my husband is out of question! When I had my whole colon removed in 2010, he hit me in my stomache in his sleep....thank God it was as high as it was so he didn't get my incision! Any suggestions on sleeping would be appreciated!

well if you are gonna use a couch or chair make sure you have lots of pillows, lol, I rented an electric hospital bed, worked great for me as I did have trouble getting in and out of bed, didn't sleep in bed for quite a long time, well if you can make it thru your colon being removed you can do this, I had part of mine removed due to colon cancer, but it was just a resection, not a full removal, best of luck to you, you will hurt, keep on top of your meds and listen to your doc !

Thank you! the feedback from other people who have already been through it is SO helpful! I had never thought of renting a hospital bed, that's a great idea! I did think about renting a recliner but, I don't know I think I will try the chair first....I'm glad you mentioned something about measuring myself I had not thought of that either!!! The before and after pics will be up I promise!
