I am currently married with 3 children. After my first one I was able to kinda shrink back to my normal size but after my 2nd one I wasnt able to. Then we tried for 3 years to get pregnant with our 3rd child and during that time i lost 50lbs and then later i found out I was pregnant. So i was so happy to have my 3rd but sad because of all the work I put in to loose the weight. I am almost back down to where I was before I found out I was pregnant.

I am very excited to get this abdominalplasty and lipo. I have heard that its worse than c-sections which I have had 3 of those, so I am very unsure what to expect. I have researched it up and down and am very thrilled for my surgery date to be here. My pre-op is scheduled for the 3rd of September; 2 weeks prior to my surgery. So Im an anxious wife/mother. :) I will post again after my pre-op to give everyone the info I receive.

I've read lots of reviews from women who previously had c sections, and the majority of them said TT not as bad. The pain pump definitely helps. Also, a semi electric bed is quite popular amongst those that have muscle repair. If you've got a great surgeon, you won't regret having this procedure.

Thank u for the info. I know I wont regret it just have to make sure I take care of myself and listen to the rules of not picking up my baby.

Yes, you will definitely not want to do any lifting, but you really won't feel like lifting either :).

Had my Pre- Op today

Today was my pre-op. Got my labs done and got all my prescriptions to take them to the pharmacy to get them ready before I have surgery. So today starts the 2 weeks until my surgery. I'm so very excited and scared at the same time.

I understand!! I am more excited than nervous. The good thing is that once we are put to sleep, we won't have to worry about a thing. We will awake on the flat side and we will just focus on healing. Initially I wanted to be the first case. Arriving at 10 would work for me. I won"t know my time until the day before:-/. How about you?

I have to be there at 10am for an 11am appt. They said that it could be early but as of right now thats the time. I also have to speak to the surgery center about my piercings to see if I can put plastic posts in some and leave some in that are 2 hard to remove from my ears.

1 week till my TT

jacksonsbigred
So today is September 10th and its officially 1 week till I have my tummy tuck surgery. I am very excited but scared at the same time cause I'm a very independent woman and hate having people do the things that I'm use to doing and helping me do things. I know in order for me to heal correctly I need to allow them to help me, its just very hard for me to do. I am very excited to be getting this done. I have 3 children and wanted it done ever sense I had my first one but knew not to since I still wanted more children. So I hope it all goes well. Its really nice to see other people on here having to go threw it and that are very supportive. Its nice to feel that I'm not just the only one having this done to make myself feel better. I haven't gotten the urge to post picture of the before yet and Im not sure if I want to even though the problem will be getting fixed, I guess it just hard to do it right now. Don't want to feel like people are judging me by the way I look even though I'm a type of person that really doesn't let that bother me on what they think of me but for some reason the pictures make me feel that way. But any who. I will post on here either on the day of my surgery before I go in if I can and maybe after depending on how I feel to update if not maybe the next day.
