A Month out from Surgery!! Tummy Tuck...lipo and Fat Transfer to Butt - Vienna, VA

I'm in love with this website! I am a 30 year old wife and mother of four. I had my first daughter at 17 and gained EIGHTY pounds...took eating for two serious;) My next three children I gained 50 pounds and they were delivered by c-section. I swear if I smelled food I gained weight while pregnant. Needless to say I have had an issue with my stomach since my first pregnancy!

I have seen a total of four doctors in my area. Three of which were in 2009...after my son was born (my plan was he was my last child..1st boy but someone else had other plans because I now have an 18month old daughter). At that time I had planned to save up for the surgery but just wasn't sold on a doctor. So..now to 2013...I wear at least two pairs of spanx and another layer of tank tops that hold me in..too hot to do that in 90 degree weather! So I started to research for a few months and finally scheduled a consultation with Dr. Tavallali in Vienna Virginia. I sat with him for an hour and he answered ALL my questions and made me feel comfortable. He certainly wasn't the cheapest doctor Ive seen but I liked that he was a small office and in business for over 25 years. I didn't feel like a file in his office nor did I feel any pressure from him or his wondeful staff. I decided to schedule my surgery after 3-4 weeks of talking with family and weighing out pros and cons. I am scheduled August 30th 2013!!! I have read a lot of reviews and most of the women used drain but my doctor doesn't. I'm not sure what to expect with that because I haven't read anyones journey without the drains. I'm super excited...counting the days down! I will post pics tomorrow as I'm on my kindle and don't have any on this device.



just to hold in my stomach. I'm uncomfortable in my own skin. I don't want my husband to see or touch my stomach

These are my before pics! I dont have any pictures of me because I run from the camera. I am counting down the days until its my turn to feel free from my own body! Paid the surgeon yesterday. All I have left to do is pay the surgery center and pick up my scripts...percocet, valium, anti-nausea pill for night before and antibiotic. Has anyone else taken valium? How did it make you feel? Ive taken percocet before and dont like tofeel like that for more that a few days...It took me 4-5 days aftet c-section to get off pain meds but I was still taking care of 3 other kids and running around a lot...even with hubby's help. I cant relax when thingsneed done;( (for some reason my phone wont space between some words?) Until next time ladies;)
