Hi everyone! Finally after browsing this site for months I'm actually posting something! I intended to start sharing my journey a while ago, but unfortunately I procrastinate. So I'm doing it now! I guess I should add a few details about myself? I'm (newly) 23 years old and in 2011-2012 I lost 150lbs in 15 months. Crazy! Unfortunately, that left me with the dreaded loose skin. So, on January 13th I'm finally getting my tummy tuck and breast lift! SO SOON! I'm so excited and only a little nervous, although I'm sure I'll be more nervous when I actually get there. I'm mostly concerned about how I'll feel after and if I'll like my result. I don't do very well with the unknown, and this is definitely very unknown! I'm just ready for it to all be over so I can start healing! I added some pictures of how I currently look. But, of course, don't get used to me looking like that. Four short days! :)

Gemstars you will do just fine, relax. In no time you will be just like the rest of us wondering why we waited so long to have our TT.Just read up on the tips like cooking a few meals ahead and freezing them, invest in some comfy stretchy sweat pants, and stock up on Phillips stool softeners.(trust me you do not want to strain having a b.m.for a while!) any way, relax take care of yourself and check in with these wonderful ladies here often. Good luck!

Congrats on the weight loss! My tip - purchase an enema. In case the stool softener a don't work for you. Also ... Gasx. The gas pains hit about day 3. Best wishes!

Gem stars you are going to be so happy!!! You deserve it!!! Cannot wait to see your updates!!! I highly recommend having bunches of pillows and button or zip up shirts jackets! Comfy sweats! Grannies panties! Pads for the monthly visitor. Miralax and Colace. Vitamin C with Rutin promotes healing. Double up on your daily multi vitamins. Be happy! We are blessed to be able to get these surgeries! Everything will be great! Oh... Get STRONG PAIN MEDS and Valium for the muscle spasms! Percocets made me too nauseas and didn't relieve my pain so Vicodin 700-325 did! And NO NAUSEA!!! Best of luck to you!! Sorry for rambling!

Hi everyone! Thanks for all of your nice comments. Your support is much appreciated! I get to spend today drinking mag citrate and cleaning myself out for the big day tomorrow! I started my period yesterday, of course. The second/third day is usually the worst, so that should be fun to deal with during surgery. Something else to worry about! I'm still not too nervous, but I'm not really thinking about it either. I'm excited to finally be done! I'll keep you all updated! :)

Actually you will be lucky that your on pain meds during the period!!! I was worried about that too but it ended up being no big deal. Just wear a pad if it's still uncomfortable to reach there to insert a tampon. Easy peasy!! I hope your dr gives you Valium for the muscle spasms that's what saved me. You will be so excited going into surgery and then next thing you know, your up and it's over!!!! Then you get spoiled by everyone! I'm so happy for you! You worked hard for this and I know your going to look HOT! Sweet dreams tonight!
