WORTH IT$7,900
I am 5'6" and I weigh 140 pounds. At my heaviest I weighed 220 lbs so it's been quite the journey. It never even occurred to me that I could be a candidate for a tummy tuck until I got so frustrated over why my stomach was never changing. I always believed that my stomach could be taken care of once I reached a certain amount of weight, but no matter how low I went, nothing ever changed. Last year in June I got a breast lift done by Dr. Soleir-Baillo and it was the best decision I could have ever made, and I even remember him lightly mentioning that I would also be a good candidate for a tummy tuck, but I use to believe tummy tucks were only for mothers who's stomachs were changed from pregnancy.
Last month I took the leap and booked my tummy tuck surgery with waist and back liposuction for January 6 because I deserve to enjoy my body in my youth.
Pictures coming soon!

January is a great time to have your tummy tuck. It's cold enough that you can bundle up in hoodies and leggings to hide your binder during recovery. Can't wait to follow your journey with you :)

4 weeks to lose more weight before the big day
Turns out I'm 148 pounds at the moment. I'm on a little mission to drop at least 8 pounds before surgery day. I want the best results possible! I'm honestly nervous about posting before pictures. My insecurity over my stomach is so bad you guys... I haven't even let my fiancé see me without a shirt.
I just went grocery shopping and got some healthy foods on deck! :)

Don't worry about the before pics, yet. Maybe you'll feel better posting them after your TT and when you're no longer self conscious about it. Once it's nice and flat, but if you don't, don't worry. We understand :) I hated my tummy before my TT. I had stretch marks above my belly button and it always looked so wrinkly :/ do whatever you feel comfortable doing. 8 lbs sounds totally doable in 3 weeks, but if you don't, don't worry too much, after surgery your tummy muscles are tightened and it kinda feels like it's presses your stomach a little so you won't be able to eat much after surgery (the first week or so) so you'll probably lose a few pounds after surgery too :)

Surgery moved 3 days sooner
I have a couple more days at work then it's the big day first thing Monday morning. Dropped off all my prescriptions and just need to pick up a couple things to be able to wear after surgery. Does anyone have any suggestions? Where did you guys go? What kind of things did you get?
The nurse told me I'll be in this tight compression thing for 4 days until the drains come out but it also covers the downstairs area, and it has holes to take care of bathroom business. Besides the pain I'm nervous about not showering for that long and feeling super uncomfortable. I haven't read much on here about if that's a problem for ladies, probably means it's not right? Lol I'm just over thinking.
Anyways, I leave work today pretty early today. I will post my before pics.
Hugs and kisses beautiful ladies!
