Well, I'm a month out from the procedure now. I've definitely gone through a wide array of emotions on the subject. I've felt scared, embarrassed, selfish, lucky, anxious, excited, and anything in between. Some big things have come up and I've had to dip into my savings quite a bit so now I'm a bit unsure as to whether I should put it off, do some now and some later, finance the rest, or just pick what I want most (I'm not sure what that is yet). Putting the whole thing off until I build my savings back up isn't realistic because I am resuming college next semester and will begin looking for a job. I'd rather not finance it because I've heard some crazy things about CareCredit, and I'd rather just have this paid for and done. Maybe I should just win the lottery. That will solve quite a few problems. Lol
I have been debating on whether I want to do the full tummy tuck or just a mini tummy tuck. What really bothers me about my tummy is my wrinkly belly button (which goes away when I pull the tummy skin down) and my c-section ledge. I don't really mind the stretch marks or the fact that it's not supermodel flat/tight. I guess I'll see what we discuss at the consultation.
I hope all of you are doing great!

Also, I have not smoked a cigarette since May 1st. I used to smoke a pack a day or more. This is pretty great, but I snack a lot more and I think I'm gaining a few pounds. I ran two miles yesterday and I'm going to try to run again today.

I'm having one of those days where I'm beginning...
I'm having one of those days where I'm beginning to doubt my decision. Is it worth all the money, the scar, the recovery time, and the risks? Am I choosing the right doctor? What if things don't turn out how I want them? Am I prepared to deal with that or go through it all over again to fix it? Maybe I've read too many "not worth it" reviews today. I wish I could see into the future.

From looking at your pics you will be so pleased with your results...
You think so? Thank you! :)
I think all of us on here having a feeling of total nerves & excitement !!! but the money will be well spent in the end, and the horror stories on here are only a few.... good luck !! it will be all worth in the end :)
Thank you for your encouragement! I feel like I need it more today than usual... I'm really beginning to doubt my decision.
Well If it makes you feel better I felt the same way I nearly canceled the whole thing ... But relalized my fear was getting the better of me !!!! Now it's all excitement just 2 weeks for me!! I can't even sleep at night :)
I can definitely relate! I was really beginning to consider canceling yesterday and spending my money on something else or keeping it in savings. I'm realizing that with any big decision there will be times of doubt. If I don't do it I think I will keep thinking about it for decades and wish I had gone through with it. I'm back on track today!
I got back and forth almost every day. :) I think it's pretty normal. I agree that as soon as I read a review that is 'not sure' or 'not worth it', I'm second guessing my decision. But then I see the MANY great reviews and I know I have made the right choice.
Thank you for sharing your feelings on the matter! It's so nice to know that so many other ladies here have had the same feelings! I don't know what was going on yesterday, but today I'm feeling ready again! I can't wait to be recovered and love my body again! :)
Hey there :) Just thought I'd let you know that I'm getting my BA done on the 7th June too.
I am getting 240cc silicone implants, over the muscle :)
Then I bet you're as excited and anxious as I am! It seems so close, but so far away! I'll definitely check up on your story and see how things are going! :)
Hey ! ;) you have a nice body to begin with. And you know what they say, "the better shape you start out with, the more aesthetically pleasing your final results will be!" Good luck!!
Thank you! I think that the camera just didn't show the full effect. You looked amazing in your before pictures... You're so tiny! I'm very jealous. :)
