Welcome to RealSelf.
We will all be thinking about you tomorrow. Update us as soon as you are able. Say goodbye to that tummy because you will be bikini ready for summer.
You are going to have wonderful results and I will be excited to see the after pictures.

Hi Kimmers,
Thank you so much for your kind thoughts. And yes I'm so excited to be able to wear a swimsuit without shame for the first time!

Hello All! Day 1, had surgery at 7:30 this morning and I feel fantastic! Honestly I can't believe how good I feel! I was in surgery for less than 2 hours and recovered quickly. Loved the staff and my doctor. The nurse was so good that she even numbed the area before she started my IV. I am not in any pain at the moment, but the pain medication is making me itchy. I have my mom here to take care of me and she is awesome (she's a nurse so that's a blessing). I am sitting up right now, hunched over of course, as I write this. Laid in bed with a ton of pillows propping me up in a beach chair postion. The drains are kinda gross as expected, but they will be out soon.I am so surprised by how well i feel. I was planning on hardcore pain for at least 48 hours. Other than being a little irritable I am optimistic and happy. By the way I DO NOT have children and was tired of being asked if I was a mommy. I hope that any young people out there who have simply lost alot of weight find at least something useful or informative in my posts. I struggled to find cases similar to mine, so I thought I would share. Will keep you posted!

Hi again, I forgot to mention that because my skin laxity was due solely to weight loss, I did not have to have any muscle tightening done. I have some strong abs under all this flabby skin I swear! I hear that is a major source of pain in tummy tucks. I had a breast augmentation in 2009, and it hurt WAY worse than this. I'm pretty sure that in a few weeks when I'm starting to heal up that I will be able to click that thumbs up and say that it was worth it!
Good luck tomorrow!
