I have chosen a surgeon based on his experience and factors such as his length of time in solo practice and his reputation. Although I am apprehensive about all the worst case scenarios, my date is set, my mind is set, and I'm looking forward to the results and the day that I can finally tuck in my shirts. Now, if I can only get my anxiety in check....

Im usually a high anxiety person and I was nervous but the Doctor and the staff made me feel so comfortable that I think my hubby was more nervous than I was. It was no problem. .I went to sleep n woke up all done! The pain the first few days is extremely intense but at day 15 I will say its worth it ..if you really hate your tummy and how you look..im not even healed up yet..have lots of swelling but im so pleased and happy that I didn't let my anxiety and worry stop me..look at my profile and my pics..you will see...go for it girl!! You wont regret it!

Here I am.....baring it all. I've dealt with this overhang since giving birth to my first child 16 years ago. Even at my lowest weight, 145, I had this overhang. My current stats are 5'9", 195lbs, size 12-14.
I am completely comfortable with my size and my curves, but I'm excited to get rid of the bulge and see a waist and a flat tummy in some super skinny jeans.

It's only days away and my prep is in full swing. I have all my meds, all my supplies, and the house will be spotless by tomorrow's end. The only thing I'll need to work on is stocking up on food for my husband and kids. Surprisingly I'm still not wigging out, I'm just worried about how my husband and kids are going to do without me being able to move around too well. So, almost there and I'm excited.
