At 44 I have finally decided to go ahead with the Tummy tuck I have wanted for the last 15 years, I am petite always been a UK size 8/10 and keep fit. I had two large babies 18 and 16 years ago both over 4gks and have never been able to lose the wobble.
I keep fit eat well and have always weighed about 8 - 8.5 st .. which I guess is 50 - 53kg in US talk ! I will post a couple of photos, only three people know about me having this procedure, I feel embarrassed as people think because I am slim and should be happy with my body .. if only they knew !

Anyone else having a TT around 19th March ? .. let the countdown begin

Hi Melanie, I'm new to this site and new to posting on blogs. I came to this site for support and so far I'm happy I did. I'm a small frame girl too and many would say the same thing, that I don't need a TT. Well I had twins boys 13 years ago delivered by C-Section and the extra skin on my tummy is gross. Lol! I'm ready for it to go away. My TT is scheduled for March 23rd and I'm not nervous yet but as time gets closer I'm sure I will be. My biggest concern now is the healing process and taking off time from work. Let's keep each other posted. And yes!! Let the count down begin. :0)

I am the same I am worried about healing, I have never had any operation before but being prepared and reading these blogs should help, lots of advice.. I am taking two weeks off work and then its the Easter weekend, so its about 19 days in total, I am hoping to be ready to go back and look normal to everyone else ! I have a desk job doing accounts and payroll so its not strenuous. So I ill be 4 days ahead of you... I can give you warning of what is to come ! I hope you have your boys ready to help you out! :-)

Hi! I'm turning 54 on February 23, 2015 and I have a TT scheduled for March 5, 2015! I too am petite. I wear a size 6/8 US, I'm 5'2" and I weigh 137 lbs. Everyone thinks I'm so small, but they haven't seen my belly and its "ledge" and stretchmarks. I too am very nervous and very excited. I will finally get to wear some of the pencil skirts in my closet that always show my bulge. I'd be happy to countdown with you!

Hiya, yes I am 5'2" too ! all good things in small packages! Oh you will be a couple of weeks ahead of me it will be good to hear what to expect, I am feeling more excited now, the nerves were getting to me but sharing with people on the site is so helpful, Its amazing how you learn to hide the shape of your tummy, people would never know .. but we do ! ... not for long now though. Have you go lots of help post op? I am worried I wont be able to get about and do things, I am very stubborn and will get frustrated :-)

You have a nice curves. Where you already exercise and eat right, you'll do much better with healing. You'll love the results and it's worth the pain :)

HI, thank you ! I am already looking forward to getting back to exercise after the OP and seeing direct results instead of a belly that wont budge . Your results are amazing, you must be so pleased. I do have a high pain threshold so I am hoping I can brave it out!.. I am more worried about the scar and how that looks ...
