I have finally set a date. I have so many emotions. I want to do this for me. Years in the gym, still not able to achieve that sculpted body that I desire. I met with my doctor. He explained after pregnancy and a c-section, loose skin and weak muscles are very common. I am excited. Just two months to go before I my scheduled tummy tuck. I have only seen one doctor. He was amazing. I guess I should probably get another consult just to be sure. I wonder if this is normal to feel confident with the first doctor.

After much contemplation I had the surgery.

I am in a lot of pain but it is doable. I am still in shock that I actually completed the procedure. I am soooo thankful to my boyfriend-my personal nurse. He has been a real trooper. 
In the past I have suffered from chronic low back pain. After speaking with my doctor, Dr. Shifrin, he explained the repair should strengthen my core and help my back. Besides that I get a new body!

Shifrin Doll TT with Lipo and Repair

Today is day 5 since the TT and Lipo. My pain level has decreased significantly. I have been on an emotional rollercoaster. This was huge for me. I consider myself to be spiritual; therefore I grappled with the entire theology of catering to the flesh. I am okay now. I dont think God loves me any less because of this. This is definitely a process-physically, spiritually, and mentally. I appreciate Dr. Shifrin kindness. He was supportive. I think he knew I was nervous. Lol. I also appreciate his honesty. I was contemplating a BBL. He told me I did not need it. This doctor definitely is not doing it for the money. He made me feel like he cares. It was worth every penny.
