Fit 45, finally getting tummy done!

I learned about Dr Eckhaus through my husband, who was a childhood friend . Went for consultation, and was immediately put at ease. He is highly qualified and clearly not a "churn" doctor, running patients in and out as fast as possible.
After a vertical emergency c-sec many years ago, and a horizontal c-sec more recently, along with an 80 lb weight gain each pregnancy, my stomach is in rough shape. Tired of people attributing it to "fat" when the reality is it's jiggly blubbery skin that doesn't go away no matter how much weight I lose. Love my body, but tired of the tummy skin!

Going in Wednesday morning, three more sleeps! Super excited, a little nervous/terrified, but all in all feeling good about this decision.
Here's a few before pictures. I don't like the bikini but it's the only one I could find with a bottom as low as I'd like. Polka dots and bows aren't typically my style! No offence to those who love them. ;)
I'm nearly at my goal weight of 150, was 152.8 this morning. Haven't seen that number for about 20 years! Been eating lots of egg whites, oatmeal, chicken, veggies, fruit, cottage cheese and berries. Easily lost this last 10 lbs once I wrapped my head around it.
I've always worn a bikini regardless, but I'm really looking forward to no longer getting the "OMG look at her stomach" looks.
I've picked up the post surgery meds, changed the sheets on our bed to an old set, got a foam wedge for sleeping, rearranged my bedside table, preparing to just sleep for 3-4 days to get through the worst of it.
Bring it on!

Night before surgery. Just a little nervous, prepping food like a mad woman! Everything is ready to go, and the only thing I'm worried about is the pain meds. I don't like being doped up and not fully alert, but I also want to be comfortable. Anyway, trying to just reassure myself that everything will be fine.
