Tummy Tuck Countdown Begins

I am getting very anxious at this point Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. Preop Monday afternoon. I’ve had 3 csections. It wasn’t until my last that I realized things were different this time around. Even after I lost the weight my stomach was different. It never went flat. Maybe bc I was over 40 when I had my last...Ive tried all the mummy tummy exercises.. but never went flat. Fast forward to this last summer when i started having low back pain.. and i have an umbilical hernia... so it is happening . I am dreading the recovery. And I am scared of the scar....going to post my preop pics...

Good luck to you too! Are you going to the same doctor?

I’m scheduled for Tuesday too! Looks like there are a few of us doing this on the same day. I’m nervous as well. Getting anxious. Which is completely normal. But still

I'm right there with you ladies. I am contemplating if I should go to the gym now to burn off the nervous energy or just try and relax!

I know! I’m trying to relax and I am failing at it!

Preop Day before surgery

I am a ball of nerves. I just met with the doctor and we discussed the surgery. I had questions about the scar. He answered all of my questions. He is going to correct my hernia as well tomorrow. His office is beautiful. He was very nice and to the point which I actually prefer to small talk. He appeared confident and I’m trusting him.....

Hi, I have mine done in July and I am equally as nervous, more so about post op care. Are you going to a recovery home or will someone be taking care of you at home?

I just had some questions again re: scar placement and belly button while the surgeon was marking me up.. plus again pain management and going under anesthesia. I don't think people put enough importance on the other Dr in the room.. the anesthesiologist..s/he is responsible for keeping us asleep.. lucky, I really liked this one. I just brought a button front night long night shirt/gown as the nurses told me to bring whatever is easiest to put on after surgery...my glasses, wallet, and phone...You will be ok! but I totally know how you must be feeling as I felt it too! :)
