It's been a long time that I've wanted to fix my body...unfortunately didn't have the opportunity till now. I'm quite nervous and don't know what to expect. I have been reading a lot of the reviews from many others on RS to get an idea of what to plan/prepare for and expect as far as pain wise, recovery, etc. I'm hoping the pain is manageable as I've already gone through the "miracle" of child birth 2x. I hear if you can get thru that...you can get thru just about anything. So with that I am being hopeful that this journey will be worth it as the rest of the 97% on RS have said. :)

Took these just now, I weigh between 129-134lbs at 5ft 2in. tall. I maxed at 165lbs after my second son. I have worked so hard since then to bring my weight down and here I am today with extra skin & some fat left in my stomach area. I am proud that I was able to bring my weight down but not proud of these unflattering images. I'm quite petite everywhere else that no one knows I have this under my clothes. I always get loose clothes to hide my mid section and people who have seen my belly say they never suspected it to look as stretched or wrinkled as it does. Ready to regain my confidence ALL over.

Vitamins beforehand...

So I went out and picked up some vits over the weekend but am unsure of I should start taking them now or not. Help someone? I am hoping for a somewhat speedy recovery and thinking of I start with them now maybe the herbs & nutrients will kick in sooner for healing. See my pic and let me know your thoughts...

So far all my interactions with my Dr. have been comfortable and very informative. All i know at this point is the date of surgery...I was told I will be getting a call to schedule labs, blood work and briefing soon. I won't be having a catheter in for a full 24 hrs (HALLELUJAH) just up until the end of surgery. I will have to stay overnight at the hospital to be monitored-Dr. wants me to be walking around after I wake up so no stiffening or blood clotting. My drains will be thru my incision so no extra holes, yesssss. And that's all i know at this point. I'm really concerned about the pain level which varies from person to person...I mentally have to prep for that because I'm a big baby. Just keep me medicated lol.I will take pics of my stomach tonight and post them up. I feel i should be doing 10,000 squats prior to since I'll be sitting on my ass for weeks...anyways Thanks for reading my journey to the "flat-side".
