Tummy Tuck 41 Yr old, 2 kids, 5'4", 126 lbs

I have fluctuated from 123-145 back and forth after having had 2 kids. I maxed at 165 during pregnancy but that was 7 yrs ago. I hv worked to get lean and clean up my habits over the last few years. Divorced and feel like I need to do this last bit of "removal" from my life. Lol. I am 2 weeks away from procedure and excited to see something different in the mirror. People always look at me sideways when I mentioned wanting to get this done but I feel like my stomach doesn't match the rest of my body. Happy to say goodbye to the skin and stretchmark layer of "squishy" as my son calls it. I'd like a belly button that doesn't frown and to see my lower abs again. Fingers crossed!

Surgery is in 2 days and though I am looking forward to the end results I am apprehensive about the recovery. I'm nervous about being laid up for weeks. And also worried I won't have the result I am hoping for. Also not working out for 6 weeks sounds awful. Its weird because I am not a worrier normally but the closer I get the more anxious I get. Kids + summer +surgery, not sure what I was thinking! I have my scrips and a shower stool. Bedside tables and TV trays. Food snacks drinks comfy clothes. Books, Amazon & Netflix. And my mom! So now just waiting..... only a couple of days to go after years of stalking RS...????

POD1 ")ground zero"Had an excellent experience with Dr Kachenmeister and the Team at Newport surgical center. So glad I chose them. Both pre 8 post off teams were friendly and professional. I spent 1 night at the surgical center

I came out of procedure and had zero issues. I am grateful that my Doc used the localized pain pumps. I can barely feel a thing. Slept well on pain meds and have been taking them regularly
Definitely hunched over and glad my dad went out and rented a walker. I bought the raise toilet seat (oh so happy I did!) and a shower stool as well.
