WORTH IT$14,000
Well I'm four days out from my procedure. I have wanted to have this done since the birth of my first child. My life has been crazy hectic, so I haven't had much time to be nervous. Well now that I am 4 days out, the anxiety is kicking in. I go back and forth in my mind- 1)Do I really "need" this. 2)Don't I have enough to take care of (my children are still young and need picked up)- now isn't a good time. 3) Do I "deserve" it, I see other moms out there not bothered by their pooch belly and wear it as a badge of honor. On the flip side of the guilt of vanity and cost, I also am scared about the outcome. Will I be happy with the final result 4-7 months out? Will my body look worse if it doesn't turn out as planned- trying to keep an Edward Scissorhands creation out of my head. I'm trying to stay positive, as I'm happy to think of the final result, but realistically this is what is going on in my head right now.
I get a big cheesy grin thinking of running without my belly flopping uncomfortably. I exercise fairly regularly where every body part tightens and tones up, but my tummy. I also look forward to starting my life post pregnancies and being a happy confident mom raising happy confident children- they are what they see. I have a good support system and I am so grateful for it!!!
I do plan to post before and after photos, doctor info etc. Right now I'm just trying to get my head to calm down before the surgery. I welcome positive comments and thoughts, thanks!!!

That anxiety is normal I think. We are so conditioned to do for others, we sometimes forget to take care of ourselves. If it is important to you, then this is the right choice. Good luck and happy healing.

Hey there,
Check out my profile, we have similar shapes. I had my TT/MR 10 weeks ago, and am SOOO glad I did. I'm almost 52, and proof positive that it's never too late :-D. This is definitely worth the recovery. Once you get about 5-8 days PO, it really does start feeling normal and each day gets better and better. Just prepare yourself for swelling and don't let it get to you, cause it's all part of the healing process. Drink lots of water, rest and eat protein and veggies. Best wishes, YOU CAN DO THIS! Feel free to ask anything, I'll help any way I can.

My first day at home after TT
It's over. I think I'm happy but I am so looped up on meds. I'm not going to type a a lot I have blurry vision. I'm almost positive its the muscle relaxers - because they made my sight messed up before when i pulled my shoulder out, Not going to take them anymore.
Here are my day post op photos. I'm reallllllly sore but can waddle.
