35 Y/o with Two Kids Getting Ready for TT and Lipo of Flanks and Upper Abdomen. Michigan, MI

I've been struggling with loss and weight gain for years ever since I had my kids. Even when I got down to my ideal weight and was doing kickboxing 6 days a week I couldn't get rid of my stomach. Things have changed a lot since then and I'm definitely not as active and I gained quite a bit of weight but in the last few months have lost about 30lbs. I'm dissapointed though that over the holidays and after quitting nicotine I have gained a few back :(. My surgery is in a week and a half and I have so many mixed emotions and thoughts! I know it will be worth it in the end because this is what I have wanted for long! The thought that keeps crossing my mind though is wondering if I'm still to overweight and it will look funny. I guess I'll find out soon enough. And I can't believe I'm actually posting pics! I never show my stomach ever! But I will be posting afters also.

5 days away and I can't think of anything else! I just really hope I like the results and it's worth all the pain I have coming my way lol.

I have two days and have a chest cold! I hope they don't reschedule it. I called them and they said it will be up to the anestegiologist ( know I spelled that one wrong) but they said generally if I have no fever I should be good. Just worried about coughing after the surgery. I guess I'll find out Wednesday morning.
