41 Year Old Mother of 3 with Tummy Tuck in Sight! - New York, NY

Hello. I am a 41 year old mother of 3 and finally I have made the decision to have a Tummy Tuck. My surgery is set for 5/20. 2 1/2 more weeks!! I am so nervous but excited. I have not been in a bikini since i was.. well never!! I had my first child at 17 and my last at 34. My youngest is 7 and she will remain the baby hehehehe. I have been looking at other girls experiences on here and it is very helpful. I had my pre op and tomorrow I go for my blood work. I am renting a recliner lift chair for a month. I also booked a hotel near the doctor since I live about an hour away from where I am having the surgery. Lately I have been thinking about how embarassed i will be walking hunched over into the hotel after the surgery but ahhhhh I will probably not be caring about that too much. If anyone will be having surgery soon or anyone has had please leave me some tips. Every little bit help. Oh.. I'm just having a tummy tuck. Doc says I don't need lipo of any sort. I will be posting pics along the way :) Hi everyone!!!

2 Tuesdays from today I will be having my surgery. Seems surreal. I am nervous!! Mostly scared of the risks of blood clots. I think I'm more scared of that than the actual surgery. Also not sure what to wear for surgery and after surgery. Maybe yoga pants? I'm going to start getting my house in order this weekend. So excited about that. Will shop for last minute things and fill my prescriptions. Will post some preop pics with my next review. Hope everyone's doing well!

I am back in the dr's office for another blood test because my initial blood test for medical clearance showed that my liver levels were slightly elevated. Not sure what this means but I am 11 days preop and I don't have much time for things to go wrong. Feeling a bit down. I've waited so long for my TT. Anyway if anyone has had any experience with this please share. I'm not a smoker, drinker, I exercise, and eat well. I am on Singulair for asthma, and have been drinking protein drinks for the past few months. My PS says that he needs medical clearance by this Tuesday at the very latest. Anyway, happy Friday :)
