Real Self is a great help regarding what to expect and how it varies between each of us.
I want a tummy tuck that gets rid of extra skin, but leaves me with a belly button that looks fairly natural, a shapely figure, and trimmer thighs. I'm ready to look in the mirror and feel great about myself. I work out, and have for years, and my abdominal skin and muscles just act like nothing has changed since that first pregnancy back in 1985 - stretched out and bulging.
I've searched the web, interviewed a few doctors, and am ready to go with Dr. Frank Campanile in Denver Colorado. The condo is rented, and down payment made to the surgeon. Now there is time to amp up the exercise to be in top notch shape for the surgery, and make sure everything is on hand for post-surgery recovery period.
I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago that resulted in an open surgery to repair an accidental intestinal injury. It was a rough recovery. The first three days after the open bowel resection/hysterectomy was tough. Every day after was more 'normal' with healing every day. I hope for the same with the tummy tuck. And, probably like most, I hope for an uneventful recovery.

EKG and Labs
I went to my PCP for a visit yesterday. His nurse was so excited for me when I told her about the upcoming TT. She had her own story to tell. My PCP, who is an interesting fellow, kind of kept looking at my belly from across the room with a quizzical look on his face. The nurse then did my EKG - and it was perfect - normal sinus rhythm with a healthy heart rate of 60. The doc wrote on the EKG report that I was healthy and should do fine with surgery. He also wrote some words of caution to my cosmetic surgeon - basically warning him to take good care of me. I know he means well.
So, now I am feeling pretty excited too. The time is moving so fast - December 17th will be here in no time!
