I've always wanted to have me pre baby stomach back but exercise just couldn't get it done. I finally made the decision to go with a tummy tuck. Not reallt nervous but just want to get it over with. Ive done a lot of research and have an idea of what to expect. I would love for the realself family to keep in touch because as the days go by... anxiety will surely set in. Pray for me. The hospital part and the pain afterwards are my biggest worries.

I was able to update my profile with pictures at work. It was easy but I think it has something to do with my computer. I want to fix it because I want to be able to update you with pics as time goes by. Anyways, I have 8 days to go for my surgery. I am not anxious because I went through that phase already. I remember when I first put my mind to having the surgery, I goggled, you-tubed, and researched everything that I could find. In the end, I became obsessed. I couldn’t sleep thinking I might miss the next ‘big thing’ regarding tummy tuck. That was a few months ago.
History: I am 34 (35 on 03/21/2013) and mother of 2 (12 and 15). I work full time and go to school full time. It always seem as if I only gain weight in my stomach area. My clothes can really hide what’s underneath but when my clothes is off… everything hangs out. My fiancé does not want me to get the surgery but I am not doing it for him, I am doing it for me. He actually likes the jiggle in the middle lol. People, I haven’t seen my girlfriend that lives below my waist in years. I have to look in the mirror to see her or lift my stomach up just to see a glimpse of her. A person shouldn’t have to live like that lol. By the way, I heard that once you do the tummy tuck, your ‘lips’ will become more pronounce in the front. Meaning right now, they are looking down to the ground but when the surgery is done….HELLO!!!!! lol. Is that true?
What I am feeling now is that I want it to be over with. I want the surgery part, anesthesia, and hospital stay to be over and done with. I think that is my main issue. The main thing I worry about is the scar. I am very well aware that a scar is guaranteed but what I wonder about is; how low with my doctor do it, will it be a straight line or a jagged one, and will I have dog ears? I pray about all of this because a physician can promise you anything but the surgery outcome can be something different.
The doctor I chose, Dr. Carlos Wiegering, is a wonderful, kind-hearted, prayerful man. I heard about him from multiple friends but I shopped around just to be sure. I was able to see multiple plastic surgeons and all of them seem great but also all for the money. Of course even Dr. Wiegering is all for the money but at least he pretends he cares about you lol. His work is great too. I will be undergoing a hernia repair with a tummy tuck. So basically my insurance paid for everything except the tummy tuck. My only out of pocket fee is $2800.00. I will be staying over night at the hospital and discharged mid afternoon on 03/13/2013.
Feel free to contact me is you have any question and be as brutally honest as you can about what you see… either now or in the future. That is all for now… talk to you later guys!
