Hi everyone. I am super excited about my upcoming tummy tuck with muscle repair and breast lift. I have lost over 100 pounds by eating better and moving more, but I still have about 35 pounds to go. I'm terrified of needing a revision due to not being at my goal weight... But still excited after waiting for years and having 3 children.

So...after the amazing encouragement on this site, I decided to take some before pictures to remember the past. Wow... I am sooo ready to move forward with surgery. I'm still slowly losing weight, but my shape is continually getting worse.

Very true. I felt so alone when thinking about moving forward with this procedure. It is so comforting to see that I am clearly not feeling the way I do alone

I was going to ask...does the doctor provide you with compression wear after surgery or do you get those on your own?

I'm so excited. Preop appt went well. All booked and paid in full. Scheduled for June 2nd. My surgeon told me not to overdo it with supplies so my list has dwindled to the basics. I am super concerned about recovery but looking forward to everything.
