Having been overweight my entire life, and after losing about 75lbs, I've been thinking about a tummy tuck for years. I've never, ever had a flat stomach and I'm continuing to work hard in the gym and feel like I deserve a little help. I finally decided to pull the trigger, found a great surgeon, and I'm now sitting here with my finger over the "send" button on the down payment- and I'm losing my nerve!
I've been so excited about this for so long, but all of the sudden sh%t got real and I have a voice in my head yelling, "Am I really going to pay $8k to risk my life and look better in a bikini?!" I'm thinking about what else I could do with all of that money and I'm so nervous that I'm going to disappointed with my results:/ I've had 3 dreams in the last week where my tummy tuck started coming undone or I wasn't happy. Is this a sign?!
HALP ladies, talk me off the ledge!!

I am in the same boat just about! Overweight all my life. Lost a massive amount of weight and I'm finally ready to actually be able to SEE all my hardwork from the gym and not a bunch of saggy skin. I am only 8 days post op and still nervous about my results lol.

Taking and posting these was harder than I thought. I've been having second thoughts the last few days about whether I should really be getting a tummy tuck, but just looking at these has removed any doubt. I can't wait for the time when I can look at myself in the mirror and not feel awful about myself.

I did it! I made the payment and secured my date. I've been walking around on a little happy cloud all day:) It's crazy to think of how many years have gone by that I've spent being unhappy in my own skin. Seems too surreal that 2017 will finally be different!

Hello. i'm scheduled for a tummy tech on the exact same day you are. I pray everything goes smooth and that you are ecstatic over the results.

Thanks Judy, best of luck to you too! It's somehow comforting knowing that other people are going through the same thing:)

I agree. I'm a mixture of excitement and nerves. I'm told that it's completely worth it in the end though. Let's touch base next week to see how we're each feeling .
Same with you. If you really feel it is just to look good in a bikini, it may not be worth it. But, if it will boost your self confidence, allow you to feel sexy, more comfortable, and give you a jump start to the rest of your life, I say go for it! It IS a lot of money. We pay way more than this for transportation, houses, and other material items. For me, this is a long term investment in ME. If you hadn't changed your habits and were just looking for an "easy way out", that would be different. But you've put the work in. Be proud!
It's definitely not just about the bikini (not gonna lie though, I'm looking forward to it most of all!), and now that I've pulled the trigger and actually booked the date, I'm getting excited.
