WORTH IT$6,500
I have wanted a TT for 9 years (since my first child was born) my youngest is 2, that's 3 c-sections, over a 7 year span, and had my tubes tied with the last one. I work really hard to maintain my wt, and feel proud of myself for doing so, but I have this very unhealthy obsession with my bulging tummy. every morning I wake up and rub by belly hoping by some miracle it will just dissappear over night, but nope, always there. My husband tells me everyday how crazy beautiful I am and I know I am so blessed with my family and my health. But I haven't been clothes shopping in over 4 years, and my family lives on the river and have a beach house. Needless to say I don't look forward to the family get togethers, I am scheduled for my TT in 6 days ! I feel like my dream is coming true! Only I can't get over this fear of something happening to me and leaving my family without a mother over this vain, selfish, and expensive want. my PS said I'm a textbook candidate and my risks are minimal, I'm in great health, but I can't get over this fear, any comments, thoughts, input would be helpful please!

I think I have changed my mind 500 times today, I have read every risk article I can find about TTs and death rates and DVTs and all, I'm a nurse, looking at my history I know my risks are low, maybe because it's not needed only wanted and I fear the worst I don't know if this is normal or not, I want this so bad, but so scared, and it's not helping that my bf, and mother are both telling me they wouldn't risk it, gerrrr!

U have to make this decision for you and not for anyone else or what they think. I wouldn't even talk to them about it I never told anyone what I was doing except my husband and bc he was taking care of me after surgery I can't tell you how glad I am that I did it. I'd sign up again tomorrow if u needed to. I just had an awesome experience that has changed my life and it was well worth the cost to me

So tomorrow's the day, in so nervous, I keep telling myself I'll be ok, it's so hard though, I am trying to find the excitement I had in the beginning, I'm not a very frightful person and I have no clue why this is getting to me, prayers please!

Good luck. You will be fine. I had mine three years ago. Just happened to go on this site. Haven't been in awhile. Best thing I did for myself.

I was the same as you, I canceled my tummy tuck twice and was looking for a reason to cancel for a third time. A couple weeks before my procedure I went to so many appointments got all sorts of tests done to make sure I was completely healthy to go through the procedure. I spent many nights crying myself to sleep asking myself why would I do this to myself and family! I for sure thought I was going to die. And now here I am almost 8 weeks post op almost 100% healed and am so happy with my results. I would do it again in a heart beat. My only regret was all the stress I put myself through before hand. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and see you on the flat side!
