WORTH IT$6,000

I am a 36 year old mother of 22 month old twins. I honestly still look as though I am 6 months pregnant and have had comments stating such. "Oh, bless your heart, you're having another" or "Now I know you aren't in line for a beer". That's my favorite one because it's quite obvious I'm not pregnant if I am drinking alcohol. Plus, I really can't wear a T-shirt during the summer months and with it arriving soon...well, I want to wear a T-shirt!!!

Regardless, I have waited almost two years for my stomach to go away and nothing. It hasn't budged in a year and a half. I went to see my OB in October, who told me it will probably never go away, so after some discussion with my husband I decided to go for it. Now that I am two weeks and counting I am so nervous. I know the end result is well worth it, but I am just so afraid of something happening to me on the operating table. Reading a lot of these posts have calmed my nerves some and talking to my doctor also helped, but I'm not going to lie, I'm still scared. I almost want it to be tomorrow, so I can just get it over with. I think the anticipation is worse than the actual surgery.....maybe.

Well, thanks for listening.....

Life as we know it.....Same here! I am on March 1 at 7:30 too. I will be thinking of you. We have to be there at 6:15 for check in and all of that fun stuff. I am doing ok. Yesterday I was fine, today I'm nervous again. So many emotions all in one day, that right there is enough to drive me crazy. I just want it to get here, so I can start my recovery.

How are you doing?

Being afraid is normal but don't let that freak you out.  Any surgery will grip on your nerves but at least with this one you end up with a hot body.

I look forward to following your posts.  Keep us up to date.

Oh my gosh! How weird is this? Not only do we have the same surgery date, we have the exact time. I need to be there at 6:30 though.

I am very excited the closer it gets and I actually had a dream about it last night. Very odd dream though. I was going to prom, but couldn't wear the dress I picked because I had my drainage tube in, so I had to wear something else. That's all I remember, well that and my stomach was flat!!!!

I am also schedualed march 1st but my time is at 7am! I am so happy to have found some other ladies along the same ride as me!! Its so hard to discuss with friends..I hear you will do fine or it will be ok, but omg they arent in my shoes im scared outta my mind!! I dream about it often.. I can not wait for the date already i think the waiting is whats making me more scared as well as still reading other peoples stories.
Are you ladies having lipo with your surgeries also? I am having a tt with muscle repair and flank lipo.

Exciting! I just had a mommy makeover (BA,TT,and lipo of knees) on feb 2nd at the Plastic Surgery Group in cincinnati. It really wasn't that bad! Just keep up with your pain Meds for the first week. The most annoying part was the drain. I am 3weeks now and feel almost 100% better (not working out yet). Let me know if you have any questions and who your dr is!
