Had my consultation with my first choice of doctors and scheduled my tummy tuck for January 3rd. I'm really excited, my doctor has the best personality! I'm so ready, I've needed this for 12 years. I'm 5'1.25" and I weigh around 124 pounds, less on a good day. My first baby weighed nearly 10 pounds and I got up to 180 pound with him. I got back down to my usual weight of around 155. But a few months later I was pregnant again with my daughter. At the time I had her I also had my tubes tied. So I've had two c-sections with a great scar so I'm hoping my new scar will be just as great.
About 3 years ago I decided I didn't want to be fat anymore and being short and weighing 150 was fat on me. So I lost 35 pounds and at 115 looked sickly. So I have maintained my weight at 120_125. I've recently started lifting light weights at home because I'm getting older and I don't want flabby arms.
No matter how much weight I've lost I've always had a belly. Even before kids I had a belly. So I'm so ready for this and I can't wait!

This surgery can't come quick enough. I'll finish paying the doctor tomorrow then the hospital and anesthesiologist the week after. I've already got some clothes ready to be packed. Lol! I've been cleaning my house really really good. My husband and I actually began cleaning out our spare bedroom that has been packed to the ceiling for 3 years. You can actually walk into the room now. My DH also made me two clothes racks so I can clean out my closet and just have more hanging space. We've rearranged furniture too. I'm trying really hard to keep busy for the next2 weeks. The 23rd can't come fast enough.

With 2 weeks to go I decided to add some post op pics. I really need to pay attention to what I've been eating. It seems like I'm eating mor than usual! Ugh. Starting today I'm going to cut out all candy and junk. Load up on pineapple because I heard it helps with swelling.

Brave girl posting your pics...I know it's difficult to do that. I'm 51, so mine are pretty scary. Anyway, good for you. You'll be glad you did, cause afterward you can track your progress. Take care, try to eat clean, stay hydrated and CALM, lol.

Oh I totally understand. I looked in Oklahoma City because their prices are cheaper but still great doctors but I wanted to be a little closer to home for this.
