I have been wanting a tummy tuck for a few years, since I found out liposuction wouldn't get rid of the abdominal flab from having 3 kids. I am 5'3 and I weigh 137 pounds. I'm happy with my curves, meaning my size D boobs, my hips and my butt but my abdomen is hindering my confidence. I want to be sexy!

I'm so excited for my surgery, as if I was going in vacation or getting a new car. I got my preop packet today and my appointment is on march 6ty Witt surgery being march 13. I haven't told anyone that I'm getting it fine yet besides my husband, I guess I don't want to hear any negativity before the procedure since I feel so good about it right now. Has anyone else felt that keeping it to yourself is the best way? After the surgery I plan to tell my closest friends but that's probably it, I don't feel it's anyone else's business. I'm not great at keeping a secret so I'll probably confide in a good friend that I know will only give me words of encouragement. I'm super excited and have been looking at people's stories daily, it really really helps!

It was hard to keep it from co-workers. They were wondering why i took off 3 wks from work and so i told them i was getting hernia repair and a lipo. I told them that if i was getting a hernia repair i might as well suck the fat. They don't know am getting a TT. My husband is supportive and thats all that matters. But u are right ppl can be negative

That's interesting that you say that because that's what I was going to tell people, I got a hernia repair, which isn't a lie but it's just not divulging all the details. I did manage to tell my closest friend and she was very supportive so that was encouraging. I figure I will tell my closest friends if it comes up...hopefully once I'm able to get into that bikini I haven't been able to wear since I was 20 :-)

Ok, I had my preop today and it went well. I got a prescription for pain meds and something for nausea. I don't have to be on a clear liquid diet the day before surgery but I can't eat after midnight. They drew blood and instructed me to shower with antibacterial soap the day before, not to wear perfume, lotion, makeup or jewelry. He said I will go home the first day with a urinary catheter that will be removed at my follow up visit 1 day post op. I ordered a bunch of stuff on amazon as it had no tax and free shipping such as Arnica, Bromelain, gauze, heating pad, stool softners, puppy pads, arnica cream, and antibacterial ointment ( just in case). I have a recliner and my husband went with me to my appointment because I'm not sure he knew what he was getting into. By reading everyone else's story I feel like a tummy tuck expert... Thanks everybody. The countdown begins, even downloaded an app like I saw in someone else's page. 6 days 14 hours and 28 minutes to go. YAY!!
