38yo Mom of 4 Ready to Say Goodbye to the FUPA!!
ORIGINAL POST
I'm a mother of 4, 3 births, 1 set of twins. No...
WORTH IT$6,900
I'm a mother of 4, 3 births, 1 set of twins. No c-section but I do have low scar from tube removal due to a tubal pregnancy. I can't remember ever having a flat stomache. I had my first child at 15 and had the loose skin ever since, of course it got worse after each pregnancy. I've recently began a weight loss and fitness journey about 7months ago. I've lost 30lbs and I've worked my ass off. I've completely changed my eating habits and I work out like a beast (I'll insert before and after pics of the weight loss) . I'll insert photos of the infamous FUPA. However we all know that the loose skin can't be "worked off". So I'm finally doing it. Im very close to my goal weight, I've worked hard to save the money, and I'm excited to be doing something for me.

You'll be fine. Once u get thru the first few days, it gets easier. Take ur pain meds on time. My nurse told me to move around as soon as ur able to and i truly believe that was great advise. Don't lay around in bed for weeks. U will prolong your recovery. Get up frequently and walk around the house. Listen to ur body when u need to rest but move around when u can. I've had no major issues.

Pre-Op Visit
Hey guys, had my pre-op visit yesterday and everything went well. I received all of my prescriptions (pain meds, antibiotics, steroid pack, and bld thinner because I've had a clot in the past) blood was drawn, pics were taken, and I had a chance to ask my long list of questions. So balance is paid in full (it was so hard to hand over all that money) and I was given all my pre-op instructions leading up to the day of surgery which is Monday 12/15/16 at 9am!!! 30 pounds lighter and that saggy skin is still hanging around (pun intended). Can't wait to say goodbye to the FUPA forever!!!

How was recovery with a 2 year old in the house? My 2 year old is so sweet and loves to cuddle and jump on me. Would it be best for her to be away for a few days? Or have a 1week live in helper for her
Great job with the weight loss, keep up the great work. This will really pay off with your final results after surgery. The closer you are able to get to that ideal weight, the better. Make sure to post updates with pictures as you go through the process. Take some time and get active in the Forums where you will meet others having surgery the same month.
That would be fantastic, thank you very much.
