ORIGINAL POST

I am scheduled for my tummy tuck in 11 days!...

WORTH IT$7,800

I am scheduled for my tummy tuck in 11 days! I've been contemplating this for about 4 years. I've actually had it scheduled once before but chickened out. Since then I've lost about 40 lbs. I have one child, 18 years old. My stomach has not been the same since I got pregnant. I long for a belly button again! I will take and post some before pics...can you say humiliating! I have been glued to this site and all of the stories for about a month now.

I am aware of the pain and swelling, and have had about 5 weeks to contemplate this. I must say I am as anxious as ever and cannot wait to get this done!

I will continue to update!

Thanks for all of the support!

Mind me asking, did you lose weight and get down to your goal Weight before the TT? I'm wondering how long to wait.

Ok, 10 days out! Getting so excited! I go in for my Pre-op today. I have so many questions that have popped up. I am getting nervous...still glued to this site! I am starting to get my food cooked and in the freezer for the days I won't be able to cook. Hubby is a GREAT help, but a cook he is NOT! He will be home with me for the first 5 days, so thankful for that! I am working on getting some photos taken..they will for sure be there before the day of surgery!

Had my pre-op appt today. My husband came with me and we both had all of our questions answered. Can't believe this is happening next week! I am so excited. I have all of my prescriptions to get filled. The nurse was so informative about what to expect! I am happy to hear that I will be able to shower after day 2 post op! Even with drains in place. After reading some of these posts I wasn't sure that would be ok, but my PS says no worries! I am having some anxiety...appetite sort of gone right now! The next 9 days will hopefully go fast!!

Woo Hoo how exciting. Soon you will be looking at your new tummy!

Try to relax and take a deep breath. The nerves are all part of the entire experience and the total excitement will soon set in. You will be fine and soon posting the pictures of the new and beautiful tummy.

Keep us up to date on how you are doing.

Also glad to hear your hubby will be home with you for the first five days. You will need the help and it's such a comfort to have them there.

Hugs for you.
