32 year old Mom of 2 ready for my surgery!

Hi everyone! I have loved reading through everyone's journey so I figured I would document mine. I am 32 and a Mom of 2. I have had 2 c-sections and have a 7cm ab separation. I have been wanting to have a tummy tuck since my first pregnancy and now that we are done having babies I figure it is time! I have been working out for the last year and since leaving the hospital after my last baby(20 months) I have lost 80lbs. I love seeing the changes in other parts of my body but I am sick of not seeing them in my midsection. I know I have searched for people with similar stats to me so for reference I am 5'6" 165lbs. I would love to lose another 5-10lbs before my Aug 17th surgery date!

Congratulations on 80# loss!!! Wow! I would definitely recommend trying to get as close to your goal weight as possible before surgery. The weeks leading up to my surgery, I visualized myself needing my arm and leg muscles to compensate for the loss of my abs and the hard work has definitely paid off. I’m in the early stage of healing, but i am already so happy with my decision to have my TT!

I am starting to get so excited but also nervous! Only 3 weeks until my pre-op appt and 5 weeks until surgery. I was curious how long everyone took off work. I have a desk job and am planning on being off for 10 days and then working 5 days from home. Do you think this is good? On a completely different note, I was at Old Navy today and swimsuits were 50 percent off so I decided to get a bikini for before and after photos...I went high waisted on the bottoms because I know I am still going to have stretch marks that I want to hide. Can’t wait to wear a bikini again after 15 years!!

How did your procedure go? Are you healing well?

It went really well...I have not been able to see the final results and won’t be able to until next Monday. I am dying to see my new belly but the healing process is going well. I am in a lot less pain than I thought I would be so that is good!
