After 11 Years and 4 C-sections, I Finally Scheduled my TT!

So I have been wanting a tummy tuck and hernia/muscle repair ever since having my first child. I have a small frame and a short torso, so there was no extra room for baby and my stomach skin stretched beyond its limits, leaving me with a hangy skin pooch that I could do without.
Fast- forward to present day, 3 more kids later. This past year has been a rough go for me. About 9 months ago I was stalked, kidnapped and sexually assaulted. Thank God I made it out alive, but the trauma sticks with you. I had absolutely NO control over my own body during that time. I felt powerless. Even though the tummy tuck is something I have wanted to do for a long time, I really started seriously thinking and praying about it this year. To me, it is a way of taking my body back.
I have always been an active person, but after the assault I did gain a few pounds. I made a New Year's resolution to complete a 90-day beach body program and eat a high protein diet, giving up most of the things I used to eat and drink. I am glad to say those 90 days, I lost 12.5 inches, 10 lbs, my bf% decreased by 5% and I gained 3% lean muscle. As proud as I am of these accomplishments, my stomach is clearly not going to return to how it was before pregnancy without surgical intervention.
I had my consult with Dr. Lamb about a week ago and was so impressed with the length of time he sat and talked me though everything. I was there for an hour and 15 minutes. He allowed me to ask questions and made me feel very comfortable. I am so excited for my surgery on May 8th!

Surgery went well yesterday, but I am crazy sore right now. The nurses said that the dr made the "cutest little belly button they had seen him do, so I am excited to see it!
Yesterday, I had tried to lay flat in the bed and I think it caused low blood pressure or something, because when I got up I got really nauseous and broke into a cold sweat. Thankfully it passed quickly.
Just laying low at the hotel and waiting for 11:30 when we'll go back and have the Dr check my incisions and hopefully remove my drain! I'll post pics when I am able!
