I am scheduled for a tummy tuck with lipo on June 12th. I am 5'9 and currently a size 12-14. I didn't think I would be a good candidate for it yet because I am not skinny. I was told that I am the perfect candidate. I look at other's before and after pictures and hope I can get similar results. Time will tell. I was hoping to be down about 15-20 lbs by now. I have been working out regularly since December 2012. I feel fit, but I am far from skinny.

I am married and have two children. My son is 17 and my daughter is 9. I have spent so many hours looking at before and after photos that my husband thinks I am crazy. He is not in favor of plastic surgery but he knows I really want this. I have my pre-op on May 29th. I am 90% sure which doctor I am going with but I have another consult set up on the 9th of May just to be sure.

Welcome Sandrac & Congrats!!! My Husband & 4 out of 5 of my kids don't want me to have TT! They think something's going to go wrong since its a bigger surgery than my breast surgery I had 3/13/13. I was scheduled for May 2 but had to reschedule. And the earliest date she had was June 24. So, you & I will be June TT's!!!! :):):)

25 days til my pre-op and 39 days til my TT!!!

My mom and my 17 yr old son are starting to tell me that they are worried about me. I have never had any major surgeries. I don't know what to buy for recovery yet. I will be staying over night in their facility.

I am renting a recliner for home. What else do I need?

Pre op tomorrow!!

Finally took some pre op pictures. I know I would regret it if I didn't. I really want to be able to compare the before and after so I took some pictures in my pj's too :-)

My pre op is tomorrow afternoon and my husband is going with me. He has been amazingly supportive since he is usually anti plastic surgery. I decided to go with my original PS i consulted with. I went for other consults but never felt as comfortable or as welcomed as i do at the Bougainvillea Clinique in Winter Park Florida. My PS's wife has been doing my botox and fillers for several years now. They have always made me feel like family. I know I will be in good hands with Dr. Hartog and his staff. I am 5'9" and currently weighing about 197-202 depending on the day. It is depressing to get on the scale the day after being 197 and seeing over to 200 lb mark. I have been working out with a trainer since December and have lost about 20 lbs. I was hoping it would have been more like 40 lbs by now but I did my best. I am a teacher and I have to have the TT during my summer break, so I will continue on for the other 20lbs after recovery.

I hope I remember all the right questions at my pre op appointment tomorrow afternoon.
