I just got my pre-op call from the doctor's office. Reality is starting to set in. I have 3 small kids and am worried/feeling guilty about taking the risk. Should I be worried about my appearance this much when my kids are what is really important? Ugh. Mommy guilt.
I am scheduled to take 2 weeks off of work but have already been adding conference calls to my calendar. I need to learn to say no. I have had 3 c-sections so am wondering how this will compare. Will I be able to call in to meeting from home or will I be a complete mess? I took care of infants after having had major surgery so it seems sitting in a char and talking should be acceptable.

Tomorrow is the big day. Nervous!

Getting everything situated for surgery tomorrow. I don't go in until noon, so it is going to be a rough morning - no breakfast or coffee and nothing to do but worry until it's time. I'm trying to get as much laundry and cleaning done as possible to make things easier for my husband.
I've posted some pictures - the angle is horrible, but it's all I could get since my littlest was pounding at the bedroom door for me to hold her doll. You can see the overlap from the side view - that's what bothers me most. No matter how much weight I lose, I will always have that flap.

Doesn't mommy guilt get to all of us? I remember that. I had my TT in December of last year, and I also have 3 small kids (4, 4, and almost 3). It's great to do this for yourself. I hope you are as thrilled with your results as I have been. It's great having a nice flat tummy again!

Yes the guilt. I'm just a day after you. I've been so sure about this up until this weekend, now I'm questioning my decision. Good luck tomorrow. Post soon and let us know how you are doing?

Good luck tomorrow! Take this time for you and happy recovery. I'm scheduled for May 5th.

Today is the day. I don't go in until noon so this morning is a bit tough. I am a bundle of nerves and struggling with not being able to have breakfast - or coffee!!
I've got our house situated and ready to go with laundry as done as it can be, clothes ready for the kids for the next week and things mostly clean. Got picks ups and drop-offs all worked out so I know my kiddos are going to make it home safe.
I don't know how Irish I actually am, but am hoping to find my pot of gold! I'll keep you posted on progress.
