TT, MR, lipo scheduled with Dr. Romans for 3/14!

You guys! I am about to embark on my journey in a few short weeks. I am so excited and a tiny bit nervous.
Actually, picking a reputable board-certified surgeon and doing my research has taken a lot of the anxiety out of this journey. He lets me know exactly what to expect, and he and his staff have taken their time with me to answer all of my questions.I had my pre-op yesterday and it went great. I feelcompletely at ease. I am always slightly nervous about going under anesthesia-only because it is a risk and I have young children who depend on me. I have had 2 c-sections- 2006, 2013 as well as 2 BA’s- 1999, 2009 so I am familiar with post-op recovery. At this juncture, I’m getting exercise, juicing and hydrating well each day and gathering items for my recovery. I will keep updating at each stage of my journey

I am 6 days away from the flat side! Nesting in full affect...
Hi everyone, I’m 6 days away from my TT. I’m getting excited! I’m nesting like I did before my bebe’s...deep cleaning, organizing, steaming carpets and getting things prepped.
I found out at my pre-op that I’m the first surgical procedure of the day, so that’s wonderful. I’m having my surgery at a surgical center. I cannot stress enough how important it is to pick a board-certified plastic surgeon with hospital admitting privileges. It takes a LOT off my mind so I can focus on recovery and healing.
It will be weird being home for so many days in a row. I’m a full time college student, I work 40-50 hrs a week and have two kids- daughter is 5 and my son is 12. It’s nice they are old enough so I don’t have to worry about physically picking them up. It’ll be the most I’ve sat still in years, haha. I can finally catch up on all the tv shows people tell me about.
Now for practicalities...I didn’t bother renting or buying a recliner, or get a special toilet seat or shower chair, or buying fajas yet or anything other than post-op supplements for healing and prescription meds. My patient coordinator at my PS’s office had the procedure done and those those things are not essentials, and my PS provides compression garments. If I was having more than a TT done, or more than one procedure, I would’ve probably rented those things. I did grab a used walker at the resale shop because it was only $6. I figured it couldn’t hurt and I could bring it in the shower if I needed some stability. I also bought a couple packs of disposable bed pads I can use in my bed or on the couch in case there’s leaking. I also bought some extra tanks tops for under the abd binder and soft sports bras from wal-mart.
I will take pics when I’m marked up and after surgery. Sooo excited
