4 weeks post op, new pics

I gained 60 lbs during my first pregnancy and gave birth to my 9lb 9oz son 16 years ago. That gave me a "tummy butt" as I so lovingly called it. Yes, my tummy has its own butt, and hidden somewhere in the skin folds is a very shy belly button, wanting to come out. I went to a PS for a TT about 12 years ago. I asked if he could cut a few incisions and just pull my skin around in different directions, and I proceeded to show him exactly where I wanted the incisions :) He said no, he must scrape off the fat, sew up the muscles, and give me a new belly button. WHAT?? I had no fat, and my belly button is just shy, doesn't mean you have to get rid of the little guy! And my muscles are just fine, thank you. Then I read through his information, and that's when I learned about the drains. DRAINS?? Ohmy, it looked terrible! I actually cried and I didn't go through with it.

But I always longed for a TT every time I looked in the mirror. Every day.

Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, I had another child! I now have extra skin on my tummy, upper thighs, butt, and chest. I had a mammogram the other day, and I heard how they are uncomfortable because they squish your chest very flat. Well, I was very sad when she didn't have to do any squishing, it already just laid there like a pancake, perfectly flat on the table!! sigh...

So, I am all done with my childbearing years, and I'm scheduled to get a TT and breast lift with no augmentation on Aug 23. I can't wait! I am not nervous at all. I had two children with no drugs, and I bounced back very quickly from another surgery. So I am hoping for a fast, easy recovery. haha, I know it won't be fast or easy, but I'm keeping a positive outlook.

I'll post pics of my tummy-butt and pancakes soon.
