My procedure is March 19th, 2010. I am scared...

WORTH IT$4,500

My procedure is March 19th, 2010. I am scared S**tless. I have a very very very weak threshold for pain so I can'y wrap my head around the pain.

I was always a skinny girl, 5feet 98lbs. I had my first son at 26 years old and I went up to 140 lbs and 115lbs a few months after his birth. My tummy never went down. One lady stopped and asked me if I was sure the after birth was out. I had my second son 20months later and my tummy went down a little. I got fed up of people congratulating me on my third baby and I was extremely embarassed everytime.

My sister did hers 2/14/2009 and my cousin did hers 5/15/2009 and they both looked great and felt great so here i am doing mine later next Friday can't wait. I look awesome below my tummy, I love my thighs and ass.

:) I was also scared like you, but you'll be fine, and remember to stay on top of your pain meds so that you don't have any lag time in pain control! Your family sounds like they will be a great source for support and information in case you have questions about how your recovery is going! :) Good luck!

I want a tummy tuck real bad
March 13, 2010
I'm scheduled on 3/25/2010 for a tummy tuck, a couple of days after yours. I am scared!!!! All I keep thinking of, is coming out of the anesthesia okay and not having any type of infections or problems after. I wish you the best of luck on your procedure and be sure to keep us updated!!!!

So Far So Good. I am feeling great and definitely taking it easy. My Pain is Minimal right now. I only take colace and my antibiotics. I walk for 30 mins every 2 hours. I still feel dizzy every now and again. I'm feeling absolutely awesome.

Hi - I am so glad that everything went so well for you. like you I had my first baby and my belly NEVER went down. 23 months later I had another child (which at this point I knew I had SEVERE diastasis recti) but was not ready to have surgery at that point b/c I was not finished having children - I now have completed my family and had my last child 1 year ago and like always I lost as much weight as I possibly could but the belly is still there. I am TERRIFIED of surgery due to the fact that I almost lost my life to it back in 2005 from a "botched" ectopic pregnancy surgery. I know though that I am going to be in pain and it will only get worse the rest of my life - many back issues etc. Would you be able to share what Dr. performed your surgery - and the likes and dislikes?? Thanks so much, Michelle

    Today was pretty well.  I have not taken any painkillers for two whole days now and I have no pain.  I still take everything VERY EASY.  I spent most of the day walking and doing homework for my online course.  I am very extremely happy that i am recovering well but for some strange reason I'm waiting for something to happen.  I go in tomorrow for a check-up and hopefully get these drains out as well see my new tummy.  I still walk a little bent over but pretty good.  I have an annoying little cough that pops up of every now and again but have learned how to do it w/out hurting too much.  I drink lots of water/fluids and those meal suppliments as well as food.  I have had 3 bowel movements w/out any problems. 

My only advice is know your body and as the minutes, hours, days go by U will learn how to help your body heal. Every move will feel tight to u no matter what the first three days but as time goes by u will know how to manuever yourself.  Your legs and your arms are ur best assest stregthen them cause u will be using them ALOT.  Be strong, stay positive and remember how SEXY and CONFIDENT u will feel after its all said and done.  Do not RUSH your results your first week remember ur body needs to heal from a major overhaul interuption so be super patient cause YOU WILL BE SWOLLEN but U will see the Big difference period.  Make sure you in sync with ur Surgeon at all times.

I will post pics after my DR. visit tomorrow but so far I look like Million Dollars even with the garment and gauze.  Cant wait for the next couple of weeks as things get better.

First of all Iam so happy that you decided to share your journey with us. Iam in the process of getting my procedure done but I would love to loose a little weight before I have surgery. I am currently a size 16 and weigh 210 lbs. if you dont mind sharing your weight and clothes size I would appreciate that. What size did you get down to?
