Let the Countdown Begin - Philadelphia, PA

My tummy tuck is scheduled for May 16th. I am anxious, nervous and excited all at the same time. I have had 2 stomachs ever since i can remember upper and a lower..lol. After i had my daughter things didnt get any better, i had to have an emergency c-section which left me with a scar, a stretched out stomach and clearly a tiger attacked me as well. I cannot wait to actually look down and be able to see my vagina without lifting up my stomach (just saying) tmi, i know. I have a beautiful 3yr old and do not want any more kids due to almost dying when i had her, i might adopt but i just cant do it again...well i will post more later and definitely my before pics. Do far i have purchased the folloeing for my TT:
Colace
Gauze
Hibiclens
I dtill have to purchase some MOM , silicone scar sheets and im gonna get some bromela and some arnica montana
13 days and counting!

Getting nervous, just 10 days away, I cant stop thinking about my tt, I had hoped to upload my before pics, my doc took some before shots of me last week and I had hoped they were uploaded to my profile on mytouchmd but no luck yet. Maybe I will get my mom to take some before shots of me later tonight. Mom has not been very supportive about this, one minute she tells me she is not gonna pick me up, the next minute she is, thats very stressful, I think I have developed a boil under my arm, I hope this doesnt affect my surgery in any way, I will try to get rid of it in the next 10 days, anybody know any good remedies for boils, well I have tired myself out thinking about my tt, im gonna call it a night.

Today was rough, i was going back and forth in my mind with 101 reasons why i shouldnt have a tt, but i am definitely going forward. 9more days. I took off work for a week and a half which comes out to be about 13 days i dont go back until the 28th so i am hoping i have myself together by then. I am confused about compression garments do i need to buy one or ifone will be provided for me, i guess i should call the doc and find out. Well in 2 more days i will need to start washing my tummy with the hibiclens, its getting real, wow, i cant believe im really gonna do this.
