41yr Old Wife and Mother of 3 Ages 18, 7 & 2 and Living in the Sun Shine State

I am 41y/o wife and mom of 3 great kids, all of which were delivered via C-section. I am 5'3" and weigh 130 (most I ever weighed, Think 20lbs is this stomach). I live in Altamonte Springs, FL and work in the medical field. I am scheduled to have my TT w/ MR & lipo of flanks May 5 by Dr. Fiala. Even though I am very scared it cant get here soon enough. I am so sick and tired of people asking me when I'm due. Next idiot who asks me that is going to get cursed out. lol. I am very thin with an enormous stomach that just seems to keep getting bigger, ( I type this while eating warm chocolate chip cookies and drinking milk). I really do look 6-8 months pregnant, my tummy is hard and has a 3" valley separating East and West. I do everything to hide this kangaroo pouch from wearing sweaters to holding my purse in my front mid section.

I had about 5 consultations with other PS and even though Dr. Fiala is the most expensive I feel the most confident in him. Most of the 5 PS I visited had some bad reviews but Fiala didn't. I am addicted to reading info on TTs. I find it relaxing and seems to calm me down regarding procedure, pain and expectations.

I will be posting pictures in about 1- 2 wks, I need my teenager to take them (Lord knows I don't want no one else seeing me naked, also I need her to post them for me. )

Bye for now.

Well today is 6 days PO and all is great. MY surgery went very well, I went in at 12noon and came out at 430pm. Dr. Fiala and his staff are the best. I was treated like one of their family members. The over night nurse Karen was excellent. No extreme pain, just very, very sore. My muscle was very separated one of the worst Dr. fiala has seen in many years he said. My intestines were pushing out severely and I looked 8 months pregnant. I haven't seen my stomach with out the binder on but from what I can tell it looks good. I will be posting before and after pics very soon.

This is pre op. I called her food baby.
