Not much to say here...but I am very excited to get the 3" diastasis repair done because I am hoping that leads me to less back pain. Chronic back pain has haunted me for 20+ years. The tuck is just part of the process (not that I don't need it) but it is not what I was originally seeking. The constant weight yoyo from several kids and poor eating has left me with a pregnant pooch that is going to be gone. Yeah! Gonna top this all off with a fat transfer to the breasts. Adding a bit of fullness to plump out the old girls. Didn't want to complicate my recovery with a lift and this should give me a little more to fullness. Late 40's, working professional. Nervous? Heck yeah....at this point, I am just trying to march, march, march to get all the to do's done before the surgery!

Still don't know where I want my incision line. 8:15am tomorrow. Tummy tuck, MR, lipo to the flanks and fat transfer. Cooking a pot roast yum. Still have a crap load of work to do at the office. I am oddly looking forward to the down time!

Hi jellybeanbelly, believe it or not but I am also looking for the down time from work. I'm just going to hate going back to all the work that will be waiting for me. When do you go back to work? Good luck tomorrow, I will be praying for you. Please let us know how you're doing. Take some pictures if you're up to it. Will be thinking about you.
