STILL SWOLLEN 6 1/2 WEEKS POST OP... NEW PICS!

Well ladies!! I am going to join the flat side finally, and I am excited, nervous, and have about a billion different thoughts and emotions going on right now. I have been looking into a tummy tuck since my last baby was born and reading all of your stories on here and stalking the internet about any and everything to do with a tummy tuck.

I have went to three different consults here locally and had 1 over the internet, in the end I am going back to the plastic surgeon that did my breast augmentation about 10 years ago, aside that i already new him he just seemed to be on the same page as me with my goals and his procedures etc. plus he has you stay the night in a care facility in case of any complications (this for me is fantastic cause i tend to freak myself out pretty easy) lol..

I am 27 will be 28 in May, I have been married to my best friend for 4 years now and have two amazing little ones a little boy that is 3 and a little girl that is 1 (both will be having birthdays in Aug. I had my son early and had to have an emergency c-section. So with my little girl I had another c-section and carried her for 39 weeks and nothing has been the same since. Even when I was younger and thin 5'7 and 125 lbs my stomach was big compared to the rest of my body so now with age weight and two pregnancies things are not looking good. I am currently 5'7 and 168 pounds.

I am sooo excited yet feeling a little guilty that i am spending so much money just to make me feel better about myself along with not being able to pick my babies up and hopefully not traumatizing them seeing me not feeling well and being the on doing everything for them like they are use to.

They are starting me on Iron pills and stool softeners from today forward and planning on pre op appointment the 27th or 28th of Feb. when i take them the rest of their money in cash so I can the cash discount.

I really appreciate everyone who has posted their experience and their journeys it has helped me to research and to try and know what to plan for even though i know everyone handles pain different and heals different etc. It has been my own support system since no one except my mom seems to understand why i am wanting to do this so badly.

I will try and post pre op pictures shortly i need to work up the nerve to do that first though.. but thinking of doing it seems easier knowing that it will not be what anyone sees after my surgery :)
