Hello, I am 32 years old, I have 2 children 13 years old and a 6 years old I'm scheduled for TT w/flanks lipo and hernia repair on June 13.
i'm so so scared, nervous and have anxiety! I know this will be worth it. i decide to have tummy tuck about 2 month now. Dr T was the first consultation i did for tummy tuck and i like him i took 100 questions with me i didn't get to ask him any because he answer all of them before i even ask. my fiance said take your time do other consultation before you decide i told him his the one. before i went to consultation i did my home work i check him out and i love his work. I told my parents about this they said i'm crazy not to do it so now i'm hiding it from them it told them I'm having a hernia repair they will freak out if they find out my parents don't believe on having plastic surgery. then i told my fiance he said i'm crazy too...to do some crunch and that will do it. he don't see anything wrong with my stomach he still don't want me to get it but i already decide and i told him i need his support i have to tell him the truth because i'm need him to take a few days off to take care me. It's just 1 week away I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the pain i don't have no pain tolerances. so decide to joint real self so i can have some support I'm gonna need it since i can't tell none of my family member they all think I'm just getting a hernia repair.

Thank you so much ladies this mean a lot to me. One week from now is my big day and I'm ready but I'm so scared, anxious, nervous I was hoping to get some comfort from my fiancé but his worse than me his freaking out too. I am having mixed emotions now. Did I make the right decision but at the same time I have high confident and trust my PS His very knowledgeable that put me at ease a little :) and he comes off as a skilled, technical and confident surgeon that why I pick him and I liked his before and after pictures patients that I seen.

Nerves are SOOOO normal sweety. I was a ball of nervous tension the entire time leading up to my surgery. You're going to do great. My PS told me, I do this everyday and I'm good at it - don't you worry. If you trust your PS, and his staff, you're in great hands I'm sure. Just think about the end result and how sexy you'll be!! :)

Hi. I can't tell you not to worry cause I was a wreck myself. Its natural to worry and think about the worst case scenario. I just tried to keep it together and not show that I was nervous. As soon as I saw my ps the day of surgery I felt so much better. I saw that he was so confident and relaxed. I asked him are you ready to do this? You got good sleep last night? He smiled and clapped his hands and said "oh yeah, I'm ready.". Then I got some happy juice and lights out. You are going to be fine! :)
