Hi I just thought I'd share my experience as I take my journey in to TT land!
I have been reading other reviews and experiences and It has sort of prepared me in a way and it has been lovely to see the results in the pictures.
I am 33 and a mum of 4 children, I have wanted this tummy tuck for 14 years since my 1st son was born. I went massive when I was pregnant with him and just never lost the sag on my stomach. I had two natural births and my 3rd was a emergency c section, so my fat now goes in to a little pouch were my c section scar is and tucks under its horrid I absolutely hate it!
My confidence is also terrible with it.
I am 10 1/2 stone at the moment which is above the weight I prefer to be, but even when I have been 8 1/2 I still had my "play dough" stomach. My surgeon said it will never go back naturally now. I am having MR as well as TT.
After returning from a holiday in August my hubby realised how insecure I was about my tummy and gave me the go ahead for the TT (yey!)
I have my pre op on Thursday and then go in Saturday for my op I am staying in for 2 nights.
I am worried that I am expecting more than I am going to get I keep thinking to myself what if I am not happy still after spending all that money? (I'm sure this is normal).
I am going to try and get the gym every day this week (I usually go 2/3 times a week) to see if I can lose a bit of weight before my op.
Does anyone have any suggestions or tips from your experience on anything that would be useful before I go in that would be great!
Also I am due to donate blood on Monday, should I delay this till after with having the op 5 days later?
Also I have booked 2 weeks off work as holidays, I know it probably depends on the person but when is the average time to return to work?
Sorry for all the questions, I just want to go in focused and without as much worry as possible(although I am leaving the hubby in charge of the house and 4 children, that's a massive worry in itself lol).
Thanks for reading :)
I will add before pics tomorrow.

Make sure you have lots of pillows. My back hurt and I had like four pillows. Move around very couple hours to"ease"yourself into standing up straight for next couple weeks. Good luck to you on your journey.

Hi went for my pre op yesterday and just had bloods and things done. They also went through the procedure again with me and dos and dont. At the end they asked to I have any questions, I did but my mind went blank so tonight I am going to write them all down for when I see the surgeon in the morning.
Eeekkk I am getting excited now, im sure the time will fly, I am at work doing my last shift, then taking the kids out for tea and bowling tonight after work then I will get to bed so I can get up early and shower I am sure I wont be able to sleep!
I will try and do a quick update in the morning before the op if I have time if not it will be after :)
