Ms Mom of 6 don't be scared I know surgery can be scary but if you have a trusted, board certified doctor that other clients have gone to , and you I hope have done your homework then trust in The Lord but be prepared for some serious pain and uncomfortableness ,but in the end you'll be very pleased with your results.

HI! I"m just like MBG4, 34 with 2 kids. I had 2 c-sections. I didnt have a hernia, but I had full TT with lots of muscle repair and lipo on flanks. If you have 6 kids, you definitely need to do something for yourself now! :-) For me, I was not nervous for surgery, cause I was too excited to get rid of the excess skin. My surgery went even better than I expected. Even though I'm still healing at 19 days PO, I would do it all over in a heartbeat! You definitely need to read some positive reviews to help ease your nerves. Please stop by my review page to learn a bit about my surgery and healing process if you'd like :-) Do you have any pictures you can post of the before tummy?

Thank you ladies so much for your encouraging words , this is all what I need right now , I am using exparel hoping that it will help with the pain, so far I really like my ps he is very nice and quite and I do trust him , I would rather not to post pics now although I that I am not overweight at all , I am in a very good shape for a mom of 6 and my sz is 8 with my tummy , without it 6 or even 4 can fit me and this is really what annoys me so much , please keep on giving me the strength I need to go through this as I feel so guilty a d I am so worried about my kids , Appreciate each one of u , thanxxxxx

Your turn is right around the corner. It looks like you've researched well and found someone you trust. Your surgery will be well and you deserve it after bringing 5 little lives into the world. Best of luck!

getting very close

mom of 6
YUP!!!! I am getting very close to my surgery day, Trying to ignore that negative fear inside me as much as I can, But sometimes I find myself asking myself , why am I doing this?? How can I leave my kids and go stay at the hospital for 24 hours?? I have a huge guilty feeling that is killing me from the inside whenever I c one of my children? What if something happen to me ??
I can't wait to be done with this surgery and going back to normal, there is a biigggg determination inside me that is still there with all of these thoughts and it is pushing me forward so hard and whispering in my ears that everything will b just fine !!!!!!!
