Okay this is the third time I try to do this for my cell phone. Because it is the only place I have my pictures. Which I cannot upload. I am a 38 year old woman I have 4 beautiful children that I adore and I have been very busy taking care of them and now it's time for me.

I did my research on the internet I chose 5 doctors, and then narrow it down to 1 and decided with doctor Mario Diana. I went to the consultation and we booked a date right away. I am a little concerned though doctor diana said that by the second day I should be walking straight does that sound realistic? I hope someone can answer me. If anyone has any advice for me please share I am very weary about this surgery I'm just nervous and to top it off we just found out we're movin 24 days after my surgery. If anyone has any advice for me about that I would appreciate it.

I really don't have much more to say, except that I am very excited and looking forward to this surgery. I am looking forward to wearing a 2 piece bathing suit this summer and finally feeling good about myself again. Now I do workout twice a day in the morning and in the evening I do Zumba and I do CrossFit. Just like everyone else has stated they just can get rid of that stubborn belly fat so that's why I decided on a tummy tuck. I look forward to hearing from everyone and seem like you'll have to say. I am just looking forward to the surgery but I need to know what all I have to get done before then So any advice again is welcome thanks everyone for reading my post and I hope to get the pictures up somehow and I hope to hear from you thanks again bye

Thanks for sharing your story so far on RealSelf. I'm sorry you had so many false starts. You should be able to upload your photos from your phone, or at least email them to yourself and upload from a computer?

Here's a brief tutorial on how to upload photos. Please PM me if you have more questions.

I'm excited for you! Moving less than a month later is going to be rough, especially with all the packing. Are you hiring some muscley men to help I hope?

Thanks for the tutorial. As far as the packing i am trying to do it now and get a head start. did i mention we are moving to canada? Not just another town, but another country. Lol. The good thing is the movers do all the work. I think i just let them know what needs to go. I am decluttering and letting go of a lot of stuff now. We will drive there and it will take a week. I have to ride so that will be good. My ps said i should be ok, he said a month before would be better but he was ok with me leaving a week earlier. With that said, i have had a hysterectomy 2 years ago and im pretty good about bouncing back. I just wanna take it easy. Im getting a tt and breast lift with saline implants. Thats quite a bit. Any advice?

Glad you're hiring the moving men. You might want to read this great post from JenBob about her experience. And here's a list of supplies to consider getting for recovery. Oh, and one from a RealFriend about what to expect the first three days post-op. Hope these links help!
