Well well well... The time has come and I'm finally getting my Tummy tuck!
My decision was made once I was certain I wasn't gonna have anymore children by opting for permanent birth control (Essure) bc I didn't want to have a "surprise" pregnancy and it go all down hill with the tummy tuck.
I'm a full time dental assistant and mom of two boys (5&1) and the only thing that I know will frustrate me is that during my recovery I won't be able to cuddle or pick up my youngest, but I'll get over it.
I'm having my TT done by Dr. Widder (same doctor that did my butt) because I trust him. He doesn't try to push you on doing something that you don't want to, talks with lots of confidence and logic and shows you current before and after pictures of his cases. I was inquiring about also getting Lipo with TT and he suggested not to cuz my recovery time will become more challenging, also I was interested getting my boobs done (breastfed both my boys) but will wait after my TT bc I will loose weight and boobs will as well. He explained all this to me which made me feel so much better and not seek a second opinion bc it made sense.
I will post before and after pics as much as I can
Wish me luck!

Oh wow... Pain pain pain.
I blame my massive pain to no BM happening and... I got my period! I really do not wish this pain to no one in this world and due to this inconvenient timing I feel like my updates and journey aren't accurate.
I've been taking my pain pills on the dot and drinking lots of water. I barely have an appetite and just eating cuz of the pills I'm taking.
Results look awesome! I will post pics
Support is needed cuz I'm feeling so down... Miserable, useless, dramatic :(

So sorry you are feeling down. You look AMAZING! I've got two little boys about the same age as yours. Im going in next Tuesaday! Just think about splashing around with them this summer looking fantastic. This will all be a memory by then. One day at a time. HUGS! And keep your chin up. You are paving the way for those of us who are headed into sx!

When I read what u put "Just think about splashing around with them this summer looking fantastic" my mentality changed completely from negative to positive, it's amazing how a simple uplifting comment from someone you don't even know can change you, for that.. I thank you! Good luck on your surgery this Tuesday. I'm here for ya!

Oh honey, I am so sorry u feel down. I have not had my surgery yet but I can offer a little advice. Try listening to some guided meditation (Paul santisi) to help lift your spirits. You look amazing already and it will only get better. Thank you for your honesty and transparency in your review and I will be paying for your speedy and healthy healing

Thank you! I'm gonna start listening to some meditation. Pain isn't that bad now... I am very tired tho

I pray for your speedy and healthy recovery. It will get better. It is hard especially with the little ones. I wanted to hold/pick up my babies so bad but it ll get better and you ll be able to do all this.

Day 4 post op
It seems as if I planned this TT according to the weather. My area is currently going thru a intense blizzard making it impossible to go outside (2 ft of snow) maybe more, making my recovery relaxing and easy going.
At this point I'm only taking pain meds as needed (probably every 6hrs) however my BMs have not improved so every other day I'm using a suppository in order to have one... My back is killing me! Still walking slightly leaning forward and I'm assuming I'll do that for another couple days.
I've noticed swelling, I don't think it's that bad but it's expected (I'll post pic) it feels ans looks alot like after having a baby.
I'm expected to go back to work Thursday... But of course if I'm not feeling at least 95% better, that will change.
As always I will try to keep updating as much as I can. Just gassy (TMI) but hey... It happens.
