I have wanted a tummy tuck for years and am beside myself that it is finally going to be a reality for me. I am so ashamed of this hanging stomach and can't wait for it to be gone! I am 38 and have given birth to 2 children, 1 by c-section, and have lost 90 lbs. I work out at least 5 times a week but nothing helps this stomach...if anything, it makes it look worse. I have the best, most loving and supportive boyfriend in the world...I know he loves me no matter what but I am so ashamed of how I look, he has yet to see me completely naked, even though we have been together for almost 3 years. My surgery is scheduled for December 22 with Dr. Pin in Dallas. I am starting to get nervous now. All of these other profiles on here are so inspirational and I just hope my tummy turns out as well. I am a little overwhelmed with what I need to be doing to get ready. Any advice?
(I will post my before pics....after my surgery is complete. I'm too embarrassed to post them right now)

Hi how are you? Just wanted to see if you can share how you are feeling and how the pain was? U look amazing. Also did you have any lipo done?

Hi! I am doing great! I'm back in the gym working out and able to run again. I honestly have no pain anymore and haven't since the first week. The only issue is the swelling. It is terrible toward the end of the day. It can get pretty uncomfortable but my PS said that is completely normal and can take 6 months or more to resolve. I did have lipo on my flanks. That area is still a little tender but not painful.

I was going to wait until after my surgery to post these but thought I'd go ahead and get it over with. Surgery is just around the corner and I'm getting super nervous. I'm so afraid I still won't have a flat tummy. I don't see how it's possible for my "before" tummy to turn into the beautiful "after" tummies I've seen on here.

I feel the same way. I'm 2 weeks away and I'm still scared my stomach will just never be good. Fingers crossed for both of us!

Mine is the 20th of December, Trying hard to keep negative feelings set aside. I have to read positive things on RS every night before I go to sleep to keep me excited. One day I'm good and another day I'm stressed. But I won't let the fear take this away from me.

I think your thoughts are so normal. I have the exact same feelings. After looking through real self everyday I've seen a few before pics that look like me. But yet and still there is a fear that my tummy can't look like that. My surgery is in a few days and I can't wait to get rid of all the fears and worries. It really takes a toll on you. Best wishes.
