I went for my consultation after years of praying I would one day do this for myself. Husband thinks I am perfect the way I am but just want to feel sexy again. I am 5'3", 135 lbs. I am calling tomorrow to schedule my TT for 9/29/15. Hoping to lose about 5 more lbs before then. I have not done much research in how to prep and what supplies to buy. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. I am also thinking of adding lateral lipo on the thighs. I am an RN(labor&delivery) and hoping to return to work in 4 weeks on lifting restrictions. Advice?

Welcome to the community.  If you are able to take 4 weeks off work, this is wonderful.  Having this time off will give you a great start in your recovery period.  Check out the 8 Tips Video  http://www.realself.com/video/tummy-tuck-8-tips-i-...: <rs-video-player video='{"id":"7125","external_id":"4115154787001","uri":"video\/tummy-tuck-8-tips-i-wish-i-d-known-before-surgery"}'></rs-video-player>

Officially taking five weeks. Thinking that will be a good amount of time for recovery hopefully.

I had my surgery on Tuesday. Today is Thursday. Everything is a blur. Pain is so bad. Had to get out of recliner. I have a walker and my mom is here to help me. Taking Percocet and vistiril. Go back on Monday to have one drain removed .
