I am a 33 yr old mother with 3 children. In 2005 I had my daughter via emergency c section. I was not prepared for it and it took a toll on my body. The C section was botched and I have hated my stomach every since. That's 8 yrs of hatting my stomach. It has killed my self confidence. My husband says he loves me and doesn't have a problem with my tummy but I do.
In 2009 after my third child I lost my thyroid and I gained a ton of weight from it. I went from 165lbs to 206lbs. Thru a lot of hard work and crying I'm down to 175lbs. Only 10lbs from my goal weight. I will never be a skinny mini and I have always been thick/athletic built. But I would love to reach my goal weight. As a good job to myself, I have saved up some money to finally go through with the tummy tuck that I have been going on about for eight years.
I have had my first consult with Dr. Crawford so far and I really liked him. He has a great personality and he was not negative in any way towards me. He was very positive in what I could achieve with this procedure. After talking with my husband, I am scheduled for my tummy tuck on July 31st.

Fears

I'm starting to get a little worried. I have worked about what if my scar looks horrible, or what if I don't heal well, what if I gain weight in other parts of my body after surgery. Anybody else having fears?

Finances

Ugh! Saw the light and the end of the tunnel and now I don't know. My finances are being annoying and I'm not happy. Three kids and a husband can challenge anyone's budget. I'm determined to get this surgery done though in the scheduled date. Even my sister is coming down for two weeks to take care of me.
