I am excited to lose this extra flab around my belly and start celebrating this body that created four wonderful children!
I'm tired of hiding behind loose blouses, sweatshirts and jackets. I often shy away from family outings and photos because I'm insecure about my stomach area. In most of my clothes I look as though I'm still pregnant. I have dreamed about getting a TT for about 10 years.
After meeting with Dr. Galiano I feel confident that I am ready to embark on this journey. I have had two C-sections and a breast augmentation so I would like to think I have a good tolerance for pain.
I'm excited and scared silly for my upcoming surgery, not just for the pain but also for the final results. I have seen great results and some that are less than stellar. So ladies....to be continued...

Tomorrow is the big day!!!
Ok so this is crazy that I'm actually posting these pics of myself but I want to share my journey with you all! Crossing fingers that there's a bikini in my future.
I'm 5'2 and 142lbs. I wish I could have lost 10 more lbs before this but I'm just over the big belly.

So my surgery was at 6am and took about 3 hrs. I was in the recovery room for about an hour and half. I'll know the exact time the surgery took and how much fat/skin he removed next Thursday.
After surgery the hubby drove me an hour to a hotel closer to home, we live 3 hrs away. Seriously that was a brutal car ride! Of course we had a few questions for Dr. Galiano and he called back within minutes, also the nurses called to check on me the first and second day. I will say the 2hr drive the next day was no where near as bad as I thought.
As for the pain, I thought it was pretty bad the first day and night but manageable with pain meds. I've had 2 c-sections so the incision area burns a little when I try to get up much like it did following the c-sections. However this TT is much more manageable than I thought. Actually the lipo on my back and flanks seems to be the worst. My back is aching from being hunched over too. Ughhh and the having to go pee every hour thing is annoying! Also gas pains have started, this sucks. But here are some post op pics for you to see.
