Hi ladies

I've been pregnant 3 times, last one being a twin pregnancy. The last birth was also my first c-section, and whoah, it was the worst pain I ever felt, but like everyone else I survived and even though at the time I never thought I'd see the the day the pain went away. Although my kids hammered my body I can't let them take all the blame, I've let myself go!

I don't want to be super slim, I just want this 'flap thing' that shows up no matter what I wear! It's also made me prone to infections there and it grosses me out! I constantly have to wipe there and it's smelly :(

I've tackled many obstacles in my life, but my damaged abdominal area has been depressing me for years now. So now I'm ready to tackle this hurdle. At first my husband didn't take me seriously, but he has seen how self conscious I am about my body. He's on board now!



I'm 5 ft 2.99 inches and weigh 172.8 pounds

I went for a consultation last month. Doctor

This may be good news for you!! My girlfriend had a TT (min TT) about 6 yrs ago and a CC 5 yrs before that and she said the CC was WAY more painful!! But this does take time to heal.

All the best to you!! you'll do great: >)

OH, and Kimmers25 gave you really good advice... be strong and eat very well. Be at your best before surgery. I think that is why my healing process is going so well. (and a dash of luck!)

Thanks for stopping by! I'm drinking my water, momotoring my walking on an app on my phone. I also cooked my clean food meals for the week and popped it in the freezer. So I'm prepared with food for the week and I won't go grab fast food.

I sure hope that the TT isn't more awful than the c-section... but if it isn't, the pain and discomfort will be temporary. This procedure is a means to an end and will address something that has had me sad and depressed for the longest time... the only way is through!
