45 Yr Old, Much Needed Tummy Tuck After Weight Loss - Ottawa, ON

ORIGINAL POST

I would like to start off by thanking everyone for...

WORTH IT$5,600
I would like to start off by thanking everyone for sharing their stories. I have lurked on here for almost a year. I have learnt SO much from all of you!

Now that my day is approaching, I thought I would share my journey. I am 45 years old with two children. I have struggled with my weight since my late teens. 2 years ago, I finally decided to make myself a priority. I started clean eating and working out. I have to say that I am in the best shape I've ever been in. Lol. Anyways, with the 100 + pounds weight loss I am stuck with a deflated tire around my abdomen as well as what I call my "fluff" above my belly button. Also, I have dealt with asymmetric breasts since a young teenager and breast feeding and weight loss certainly haven't helped.

I decided to finally reward myself for all my hard work! I will be having a full tummy tuck with muscle repair as well as a breast lift. My surgery date is quickly approaching and I am nervous as well as excited to kiss my deflated tire and asymmetric breast goodbye.

Hope to hear from you and get support and encouragement for what I am about to face.

Pics will be uploaded soon!

Starting to panic

I am 13 days away from surgery and am starting to stress out and panic. I feel I am not prepared in the least. Thank goodness my pre-op is this Monday as I feel I will know more of what is needed to prepare myself.

It is NOT easy attaching these photos but it can only get better, right?

Good morning. Thank you so much. I am doing well. Came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon and have been sleeping on and off since. Pain is quite manageable.
