Just joined so please bear with me. I started my TT journey a while back. I have 4 beautiful girls 11, 9, 7 and 2.5yrs old. They were all normal deliveries. I count myself very lucky to have 4 healthy children but for 11 years my body confidence has been in shreds. I won't dare wear a bikini on the beach. My whole 20's has basically revolved around me being pregnant, breast feeding and gaining and losing weight. I am quite petite (UK size 8) and feel my tummy does not look like that of a 29yr old! Had all my pre-op appointment today and in have the go ahead for Saturday. I have 2 more long days at work and then FINALLY I get to say goodbye to the monster tummy! It almost doesn't feel real! I have waited over a decade for this! Quite nervous though about the pain etc, also, me and my husband have not told a soul about it so we will be managing between us with the kids. I hoping to go back to work after the 2nd week PO. Not sure how realistic this is but I am quite a determined person so will hope for the best. Just taken a set of the most hideous pictures of my tummy in all it's glory eek! 3 days and counting!

Went to my usual Wednesday evening boxercise class yesterday and gave it my all, as I knew it would be the last one for a long while. Feeling quite sad that I won't be able to gym as normal, will really miss it (probably my gym buds more if I am honest lol).
Not long finished a very long shift at work. More of the same tomorrow then I really must pack my stuff! Has anyone got any suggestions or advice on what to take to the hospital that I may not have thought about? I have the added bonus of my period being due on the day of my surgery to contend with! Got 2 packets of santitary towels and my tranexamic acid. Fingers crossed tomorrow goes quickly!

Ah thanks ladies, I wish you all the luck in the world, with your up and coming op's. I can't wait to be on the flat side!

Good luck!!! I love my results!! I'm so happy I did this for myself and you will feel the same too when it's all done!

I think your results are amaizing prettyeyes! I hope I heal as quick as you! I have been told I will be very tight abdominally for a while by my surgeon. Did you find this too? You look to be standing up straight by 11 days PO! Amaizing!

Oh thank you! I wish I was standing up straight! I'm still somewhat hunched over. I'm so freaking tight! I hope by next week which will be 1month post op I will be standing straight. I seriously can't take anymore tightness lol. But yes super tightness you will be!

Just finished another long (and stressful) day at work! Started to pack my bag but I am so exhausted I might just go to bed. Had an awful night sleep last night. Hoping for a better night sleep tonight, although I am sure I am going to be up over thinking the op through the night!

It will be fine so don't stress about it, sleep well and think positive thoughts about being on the flatside!!!
I am 6 weeks post op today and healing has been swift and pain free. Good luck x

Thank you Camelina, I sure hope I am as good a healer as you! Your scar is very neat! I am hoping to be up and about the following morning too. Clinicians always make the worst patients lol! X
