I have my tummy tuck scheduled for one month away. I am very nervous for health complications and such. I will be posting throughout the next couple weeks with pics before and after.
A little history..... I have always been a hit heavy not huge but a good medium. I am tired of hearing people telling me how beautiful I am but don't feel like I am because my my loose stomach. This surgery I hope will give me some much needed confidence.
I hope to have somewhat of a flat stomach after the procedure.i am uploading my before pics now.

Congrats on your upcoming TT! Mine is the same day and am more excited than anything. The day will be here before we know it. You can't look at the bad reviews, makes you think too much. I was looking at them too and told myself no more. Good luck and I can't wait to see your outcome. Take care.

So I have researched tummy tummy tuck and lips on every website and I'm getting a little afraid. In one study one out of three thousand that's 1/3000 patients under going tummy tuck and lips with die.
what if I'm that one? I'm totally freaking out! I don't want my daughter to be motherless.
ugh how can I feel better that I am a making a good decision?

I felt that way too. Unless you have a poor health history, cardiac concerns, clotting risks or have morbid obesity going in, your chances of dying are next to none. I freaked out too though. My day before surgery I melted down on my blog. I am so happy I did it. I didn't know my husband thought I needed any improvement before because he told me how sexy I was all the time. He was always all over me. After this surgery, and this is 10 weeks after, he keeps saying I look half the size and telling me what a teeny waist I have. He would have never talked me into this. I would have never known how great I could look if I didn't do it. Take all the time you need. This is a very serious surgery.
