Excited to my surgery date of 5/5/15!!! Finally getting my tummy tuck done after wanting it for many years! Nervous and anxious as I started having kids at 17 and missed my pre baby stomach!! I will post pics after my pre op visit on 4/20/15. I am still exercising daily since I was told this helps with recovery...

I'm going in for my TT on May 15th! I quit smoking as well.. Wish there was an easy way to do it! Its gross but I usually tell myself.. Either I can smoke or have a huge gaping hole in my side.. Usually that image alone is enough to make me not want one any more! Good luck to you!!

well my PS told me everytime I want to smoke think about having to pack my incision... he won't be able to have me go in each time to pack it so I would have to learn and possibly go back for a revision to fix my incision/holes. I saw a few people that smoked and had horrible holes. Including the one lady that appeared on the tv show called Botched. No thank you!!! He did say I can vape (without nicotin) so I occasionally vape away ... I don't smoke at home only at work due to stress in the office. (I know that's bad)

I took Wellbutrin years ago which helped me. Also changed my routine and avoided alcohol which was a trigger.

I had to stop smoking as well. I must say it is a struggle but everyday gets easier. I have not had a cigarette in 3 weeks. At first I thought I couldn't do it because my husband smokes as well. Just seeing them was tempting. What helps me is looking at my wish pics and knowing how bad I want this procedure. A cigarette WILL NOT ruin this for me.
