At last I have a flat tummy - Sydney, Australia

Hi, I'm a 31 yr old single mum who has struggled with my weight my whole life. After reaching breaking point following the birth of my beautiful daughter 3.5 years ago I decided to get some real help with my weight loss journey. And through much thought and research I opted for gastric sleeve surgery which is the removal of the most part of your stomach.
Almost 3 years on I finally decided to complete my weight loss journey with a tummy tuck.

I've considered having a tummy tuck for 12 years but never thought I'd ever have the chance or money to get it done.

After loosing 31 kgs and found a new love for running I am finally starting to feel comfortable in my own skin but there is still the problem of my stomach. But as of Monday that's all going to change!

I'm really excited for my new body and the chance to start again. I never felt right in my body and even with all the weight loss and excersise i do i can never show all my hard work cause it was hidden by my layer of stubbon fat and loose skin coving my stomach and really looking forward to the reveling of my hard earns abs!!!
The only thing I am worried about is the swelling and recovery. I live alone with my daughter and that worries me although I have an abundance of family and friends who are there to support and help me.

I am lucky that my private health insurance is covering the cost of the hospital stay so I am not limited to professional help and if I don't feel up to going home I can have the option to stay in hospital longer.

Im 2 days pre opp and couldn't be happier! Even though I know I'm in for a lot of hard work and pain to achieve my goals. But with all the research I have done thanks to wonderful sites like these I'm hoping the outcome is well worth it.
