Happy

Been a while since I signed in but it’s been 8 months since my TT and I am so happy I went through it! It was the worst experience of my life but the outcome, months down the line of course was phenomenal. I can honestly say I’m so happy I went through it.

Hi everyone, I've been a member for quite...

Hi everyone,
I've been a member for quite sometime now. Always reading reviews and listening to the advise of you lovely women with experience and surgeons of course. So after years of debating and convincing my husband, I finally decided to go for the gold and get a tummy tuck. I have a pretty small frame. 5'6", 120-125 lbs usually, 24" inch waist.....but my belly button was not cute! Had some stretch marks and saggy skin below the belly button that really bothered me as well. Now I work out almost 5 days a week, nothing crazy, just a little cardio. I eat really healthy bla bla bla......but no amount of exercise as you know, would fix this problem area.
Went to a few consultations over the years and it seemed that my only option was a full TT.
So last Tuesday was the big day. I was petrified! Literally crying my eyes out on my way to the hospital. Not sure why, but I think it was my nerves. I was so scared!
By the time they prep me, I've got all my markings, a little meds in through my IV and I woke up in recovery. All done!
The pain! Ohhhhh the pain!
Can't move! Can't really don't much of anything on your own. How on earth do they expect me to go home in the morning? Torture I tell you! Pure misery! Let's fast forward!
So I'm 8 days post op.
This past week has absolutely been the work week of my living life, the pain, the agony, the helplessness, THE FIRST BOWEL!!!!!! Omg I promise it was easier delivering both of my children.
Anyhow, I got my first drain removed today. Didn't hurt as much as I thought. Gotta keep the second one in for another week. Blah!
Here's how I'm feeling tho and I need advise!
I am so depressed! I completely regret this decision. I got a look at the scar today and it's safe to say that I'm kinda disgusted by it. I'm unhappy! I wish I can turn back time, I wish I never did this to myself. I can't imagine the scar ever fading. I don't even think my husband will ever be attracted to me again! :(
I haven't even shown him the scar and I don't plan on it for a long time.
I still can't walk straight, I can barely walk without getting exhausted and out of breath. I have back pain. The garment is not comfortable at all. I almost wanna warn people not to do this to themselves.
Has anyone ever felt this way?
Do you eventually get over it?
I don't know if I can mentally move forward at this point. Advise please!!!!!!
