Im 42 yrs old, I have two children 23&12 and a saggy belly. I waited for 12 yrs to get my sexy back and now is the time. On March 29th I will be able to wear a two piece. I will keep you guys posted as I count down the days. I have been hiding my stomach and ashamed to showy body bc my stomach looks like a reptile.lol!! Im 5'2 and 139lbs and i have a nice shape but my saggy stomach takes away from my shape. My TT surgeon told mu body is shaped like a hourglass but I have a pouch.March 29th will be the beginning of my new chapter.

Yup! 'That's why I just brush off the fear. It's been 12-13yrs for me too. Tired of looking at it and thinking about it. Time to move on.

I am trying NOT to buy too much. I was told they would give me any gauze, etc that I would need. I got a new battery thermometer, a small pack of facial wipes (figuring a good washing won't be for a few days), Hibeclense soap for pre surgery, found expensive sweatpants at Target. They are Capri length and draw string. I ready have lots of pj pants and work out pants so I got these to wear to and from the hospital. With a matching t-shirt of course! Gotta try to look my best no matter how bad I look when they discharge me. Tissues. And the last thing I will do is stock up on healthy snacks while being confined to the recliner. Starting with salt free saltines. I have hot and cold compresses if needed and extra strength Tylenol. A stack of magazines. I am not going to buy any compression garments until the surgeon tells me what to get. They are expensive!

OMG ! 10 more days!!!! This is where we start to hear the drum roll! Also you might want some white tank tops to wear under the garment -- when it's okay to do so. That is a common suggestion I have read on here.

Are you wearing a garment now. My dr told me to wear mines to get use to it...My preop is Monday.... 10days.....

Good Luck Ms TT- I also have my surgery on the 29th. I believe there are four of us on that date. Praying for all to have a safe surgery day. I am so ready for a new start to my life- without my belly.
March 20, 2013
My prayers are with you and anyone else that's having this procedure done. It's certainly nice to know that we have something in common March 29, 2013. Lol!! I'm looking forward to having it done because this will start a new chapter in my life. A new look.... Congrat.......Keep in touch
