Tummy Tuck W/Liposuction of the Flanks - Chicago, IL

So!! I am NOT one of those mommies blessed with those amazing "oh look at me i fit in a size 4 and i had my baby an hour ago" genes:) (shake my fist at those mommies) After having two babies (one is 8, the other 19 months) my body just never really recovered. I gained 50 pounds with my first baby and was able to lose some of the weight and then with baby 2 i gained another 50 pounds and have only lost half. My main problem area is my stomach; with both pregnancies i looked like I was carrying triplets even though it was only one baby:( Needless to say, my stomach just did not like that and went on sagging strike....ugh!!! I am only 33 and have the body of a 85 year old and I have finally mustered up the courage to do something about it. My tummy tuck is scheduled for June 18th. I am all sorts of scared and excited and just pray that everything turns out okay. My number one fear out of all of this is that something happens to me in surgery...I trust my surgeon 100% but there is always something that CAN go wrong during surgery. I try to not think about it too much and I spend a lot of time on this site reading all of your success stories and they really help keep me motivated to get this done. Anywho, I will be posting pictures of what my not so wonderful tummy looks like now and will make sure to update this periodically. Let the count down begin...T-Minus 43 days!
