i am just starting out on this journey. i have 2 consultations scheduled for 2 weeks from now. i am hoping that i will like one of the doctors and get scheduled for surgery for the end of may or beginning of june. i am 41 years old (will be 42 in july) i have 3 teenage children. for as long as i can remember i have said every year "i am going to wear a bikini this year!" and it never happens:( i have never been comfortable with my body. actually, i really hated it for many years. as i've gotten older i've become more accepting of my flaws. (or my perceived flaws) i have a wonderful husband who loves me the way i am and doesn't think i need any alterations. (so glad he feels that way) about 5 years ago i had a breast augmentation and i am really happy with them. he insisted i didn't need them but we both love them now!

i'm trying to think of what else to say here...i'm 5'7" 148 lbs. i could stand to lose 5-10 lbs but that's about it. any extra weight i have is in my midsection. my arms and legs are thin. i have no butt. (one of the things i've accepted already and have no desire for implants there!) i have a few scars already from a c-section, a laparotomy, gall bladder removal and tubal ligation. so, i'm hoping that the plastic surgeon will be able to just extend my c-section scar and also make a smaller nicer belly button. (my belly button has scars all around it from some of the surgeries listed above) when at look at myself in my bra/panties, i don't think i look terrible (especially from across the room) but i know it could be so much better. i've never had a flat stomach before and i am very excited just thinking that it may happen in the near future. i love reading the stories of other women who have been through this already. it has really helped me come to the decision that this is what i really want to do.

You are going to be overwhelmed with the change in yourself after your journey is over. I can tell you as far as placement of the scar it is a good thing we had c sections. They have to go under that scar so that it is removed which gives us a way lower scar. I was curious about that before as well. I can wear pretty much anything and it is covered. As far as wearing a bikini...I am 10 weeks now and perfectly comfortable and healed to wear mine. I would say at about 6 weeks I would have been ok to do so. My doc didn't allow me to submurge in water for 4-6 weeks so I couldnt have gone swimming anyways. I wish you the very best of luck in your consults and your upcoming surgery.

i just looked at your pics and you look great! you must be so happy! you and i are similar with height and weight and the belly with c-section scar and all AND my breasts were an A-B before i had them done. (now a D) i wish i had some of your junk in the trunk though, i have NONE! they could take some of my belly fat and move it back there... seriously, i would love to do that but i'm planning on spending a lot of time on my butt after my TT so i'm not sure how that would work? so glad you wrote, thanks!
