Full tummy tuck muscle and herniated belly button repair 34 Four Kiddos 15,11,7,18months - Missoula, MT

All my steri strips have finally fallen off! My stitches are still healing and I'm pretty sore and tender still I'm living the results everyday is a little better!!! I finally get to see my bb I was nervous for that part but I think I love it:)

11 days po today first pic with no drains in....very sore and very happy girl:)

As a mom of 4 I knew I would eventually get this done after we were done having kids. I had my first child fairly young and my belly never went back to normal and got worse after each baby. It was always something my husband and I talked about ( more me than him) but was never a huge priority and I always felt I was being a bit selfish spending that much money on a cosmetic surgery. So whenever we would have the money, I would always say well maybe next year, but this year it was different and i told my husband the only thing I want for my birthday, valentines and mothers days is my TT it was more so a joke, but he said let's do it! Let's just get it done it's obviously something you really want so get it scheduled. So I thought and contemplated (mainly the money) but then something occurred to me, I'm not being selfish I needed this, I put so much love, time, and energy into my family that this was almost like a refuel for me to be at my best for them!!! At times I wonder if I made a mistake because the pain and the recovery time but each day gets better and I know that when the pain subsides and my scars heal it's all going to be 100% worth it!!!
