Basically I am completely exhausted with this belly. I have had it to the moon and back. After three c-sections being cut two different ways my stomach looks awful, not to mention extremely heavy. I feel like I'm carrying around an extra 10lbs. I am looking forward to the flat side. I think it will enhance my appearance and boost my confidence. I'm scared yet anxious. I have a consultation with Dr.Jacob Varon on June 1st, who came highly recommended by a friend. I am working on quitting cigarettes which is actually harder than I thought but its a must because this belly ... HAS TO GO!!! My husband doesn't really want me to get this surgery. He says he "loves me the way I am" but all I hear is blah blah... Lol The way I see it, if he loves me know he'll love me even more once I get my sexy back. This is for ME!! I need to be comfortable in my skin and for the past 6yrs I have hated to look at my stomach. I'm ready.

I didn't get it yet. I'm waiting for my consultation and unfortunately my recommended Doctor is booked until June. But I am definitely going thru with it. I think that if its something you really want for you then you should do it. I'm scared too but I will continue to pray about it.

Can you explain the pain like what exactly does it feel like and is it tolerable

Alot of people say it's comparable to a c section. I never had one, so I can't agree. The first day it was tolerable pain with medicine. It was more uncomfortable then painful . It's a very sore feeling. It was way better than what I would've thought. But you will need assistance the first two days at least.

I have had 3 c-sections. The only one that was nearly unbearable pain was the first one. The other two I was up and moving around with no problems. If its that type of pain then I'm prepared. But I seriously don't think its the same at all. When I watched a video of the procedure being done it look way more painful than a c-section. Hopefully not...

I could move okay. Just the first day was really hard for me. But I think the lipo hurts more than the tummy tuck

Good luck quitting, I've heard it's very hard. I'm literally the only NONSMOKER in my entire family, so I cannot empathize. But if you do quit, it will be better for you postop, and better for you in the long run. So I hope you can do it! It's wonderful your husband loves you how you are now, but he needs to realize you aren't doing this to make him happy. You're doing it to make yourself happy. I'm sure he'll see that in a few months after you've had the surgery and the swelling has gone down. I haven't dated a lot of guys, but the few I have dated, none of them complained about my belly or my tiny breasts, but I changed them anyway because it was ME who wasn't happy with them. Emotionally they made me unhappy and I was tired of hating myself. So I absolutely CAN empathize with you on that! So long as it's truly 100% for yourself, it'll be that much better. Good luck and I can't wait to follow your journey!

Mentally preparing myself for this and quitting cigarettes is getting a little better.
