Planning on getting my tummy tuck in June. I am super excited but scared at the same time. This is something I been wanting to do for years now and I'm finally getting the courage to do it. I had so many people in my ear telling how they felt and not doing what I felt would make me happy. It's time, my oldest is 17 middle child 14 and youngest 7. I think I deserve this and I'm getting it done. I will keep you all posted!

I was suppose to get my tummy tuck 3 years ago, but unfortunately I had some set backs. I am now rescheduled for 3/26/2018 with Dr. Careaga our in Miami. I pray don’t nothing come in the way of me getting this done. I just want to feel pretty and gain my confidence back. Does anybody have any advise as to preparing and what to expect.

Never did get tummy tuck in June

I was scheduled to get my tummy tuck in June 2017, but unfortunately I was laid off of my job and wasn't able to finish paying on my procedure. I found another Job in November 2017 and felt like I had so much to catch up on (bill Wise) so I had totally given up on getting a tummy tuck, until one day I was getting dress and went to wear one of my little summer dress and seen how far my stomach hung out, it instantly through me into a depression. I told myself I have to figure out how to get this procedure so I can feel confident again. I started researching again and calling the coordinator I worked before to get new prices and see what I had to do to get back on schedule. Well of course the prices raised and deposit was not refundable, so I knew I had to get my docks lined up before I was able to schedule and put down my deposit. One day I was sitting at work and told myself just try to get some financing, I knew deep down inside I was not going to find anybody to finance my surgery. I put in an application with united Medical and was shocked that they approve me for 1800.00 of it. I was amazed and excited, but I had to wait to except the offer because they only allow you 30-60 to actually get the surgery done, so the man I spoke to said reapply at the end of January beginning of February, so there is hope. I am now scheduled for tt w/lipo of flanks March 2019. I have been in the gym 3x a week if not more so I can drop some weight and really make this happen. I am excited and cant wait until I can see my genitals again. lol!
