Hey,
I am scheduled to have my tummy tuck on Oct. 12th and am freaking out!! I make the final payment this Friday, yikes :/
I've read so many reviews and I feel like they all have the same worries I have; will I like my results, how long before I can stat normal activity, how long will the pain last, etc..
I think my biggest concern is having a wrinkly stomach after the procedure is complete. I read a few posts where there stomach was stretch marked and wrinkly after the procedure?
I would love to hear any advice and/or PROS/CONS :)

Anyone else in MN Having a Tummy Tuck

I'm having my tummy tuck on Oct. 12th. Is there anyone else getting ready for their tummy tuck in MN?
Is there anything I can do before or after surgery to prepare for the worst?
It's fraustrating to me that one minute I'm scared to death thinking what in the hell am I doing. The next I'm so excited and can't wait to see the final results. I feel like an emotional mess and I haven't even had the surgery yet lol.

I feel the same way !! I'm not scheduled for my full tummy tuck until Nov.16th .I've been on roller coaster of emotions since the day I booked it !

Where are you having your tummy tuck surgery at? I keep hearing people talk about "supplies" and I have no clue what I need besides meds before hand, any suggestions?

Mine is being performed in Savoy Illinois by Dr.Castillo .
I have read so much that I get confused on what I should get or not get to be honest .

I love reading RS reviews but there are soooo many different opinions on what to get and what not to I get overwhelmed lol. I plan on getting my meds, I have a reclining ca=hair, and then waiting to see what is needed along the way.

I go back and forth with my decision every other day ..I'm not scared of the pain really it's the down time ..I'm a very avid runner .

So glad I'm not alone in this insane back and forth in my mind of terror vs excitement! It's frustrating and I want to just stay excited. I go Nov 17th for my tt. I will be following along to see how your recovery goes! You will do great!

You're not to far from me, I'll try and write every detail down :)

Thanks!! I feel like a crazy person - I will go to bed thinking there is no way in hell I'm actually doing this and then wake up and be excited about what my stomach will look like after surgery! I have got to get a grip :-)

I go on December 8th and I know exactly how you are feeling!!! Every day is a new emotion?

Thank you for admitting the range of emotions spectrum you are experiencing. I thought I was alone.

Hi, I have my TT on Friday the 14, I am scared, more because of pain, BUT, I read a lot from other TT ladies and I feel positive I can get through, you can too...I will look for your posts and see how u r doing...good luck and maybe we can talk on the flat side

I had my TT/Lipo/flanks at Edina Plastic Surgeons on Sept 13th. Dr Leigh was very nice and very attentive to my needs. I would say job well done Dr Leigh. I am still having lots of swelling which is normal. I was nervous and afraid of the after pain which wasn't too bad. Trying to get comfortable at night was the hardest.

I'm 3 days post op andxalready driving myself stir crazy from sitting around. My back pain has been the worse so far but the drains aren't the most comfortable either.
I think everything below my belly button is swollen up like a watermelon, is this normal?
I'm also not draining much at all which seems odd?

I experienced a lot of back as well. My drains remand at 25 or less depending on how often you empty them. My second po visit was less than 20.

I really appreciate your honesty and wondered the same stuff and I'm about two months or so out from getting surgery. Appreciate your honesty and pictures so far. Grateful to follow your journey. I hope you heal quickly. ☘

Thanks! I will continue to take some pictures are things change but I have a feeling they may remain as is for awhile, we'll see :)

I've went twice to my PS because first time went so fast and I was such a ball of nerves ..It was kinda a blur ..the vertical incision really threw me off ,because I hadn't ever seen it ..it's very small but sucks to think I'm not only getting a large horizontal one but a vertical as well
