So nervous about my upcoming surgery! I have three babies to think about, but I need to do this for me! I'm so sick of hiding behind clothes and worrying about if anyone can see my disgusting belly through my clothes. Hiding it consumes me. Everyone says your fine without it, or you can exercise that in! It is not possible! I have worked out for two years and lost a ton of weight, and that tummy my friends is not going back in. My initial consult with Dr. Turkle was very good and she answered all my questions and was patient. She did my aunts tummy tuck surgery, so I know I am in good hands I had my pre-op last Friday and Allison was very helpful. Let's get this show going!

You're going to do great :-) and being nervous is totally normal! I was nervous when I had my TT, and then Dr. Turkle did two other surgeries for me.. and no nerves at all. She is great! Enjoy your day today!!

Maybe because it's elective that's why I'm so nervous! It's not something I have to do and what if something went wrong!? But I'm going to keep praying and hopefully everything will go well!

Good luck! I have heard only good things about Dr. Turkle.

Surgery Done!!
It's finally done! Woot Woot. The anesthesiologist was great and of course Dr. Turkle was too. I was extremely nervous, but the nurses were so kind and reassuring. I didn't get sick after because he put a patch behind my ear. I did get the Experal injection that was offered, and everyone at the clinic said it was totally worth it. Dr. Turkle took a pic and weighted my skin and she took off 6lbs!!! I am super drowsy from the meds, but wanted to post an update anyway :)

It was a rough night. I am walking completely hunched over! Is this normal!?
April 7, 2016
It is normal to be hunched over for a while.. your muscles were tightened and are sore. It will be like that for a while until your body adjusts. The first few weeks are rough, hang in there! It's been almost 3 years ago now for me and looking back.. it was all worth it... just rough at first. Keep us updated :-)

Congrats, welcome to the flat side. Happy healing

Thanks so much! I'm majorly hunched over.. How long before u took your binder off to see how it looks?

I saw tummy 2 days po from doctors office visit. I would say very early on because I needed to undo the snaps at the crotch area and pull up my binder to go to the washroom
