I have wanted a tummy tuck after I had my first...

I have wanted a tummy tuck after I had my first child, he is now 32.
As I reached the 5 month mark in my pregnancy I just became covered
Stretch marks. With each pregnancy they became worse. Then at the age of 50 I went through or started to go through my menopause. Well I looked like I had a rubber ring down my top lol. My tummy was truly awful. With the holidays coming up my tummy became an obsession. I pleaded with my aunty to loan me the money. Nobody seemed over keen on me having this done.
Well anyway I decided to go ahead with the surgery and choose to have it done
In Bulgaria where we have an apartment. I researched the hospitals in the area. Then I made my choice. We were given some recommendations from people that had had
This procedure done.
On our arrival in Bulgaria I met with the surgeon and professor and had all the normal checks...I was deemed very health : ) .
So on the 19th I went for my surgery. It took 5 1/2 hours as they had two hernia repairs, one low stomach repair and something wrong with my bowl wall.
When I awoke I was really agitated but once I had taken my own medication
For anxiety I felt fine. I was up and out of the bed the next day with no problems
And no pain...at all. I was kept in for 3 or four days (sorry muddled mind).
When I was discharged I was told to come back in 3 days for a dressing change. I was told then there was a problem and that my skin was very thin. I didn't think to much of it and was asked to return in two days. Well here I am three weeks down the line. The hospital have been fantastic with my care. The surgeon even told me that he had two sleepless night about how to proceed with the treatment.
Well thing are getting better and my stomach is not so swollen now but there's
A long way to go. Iv rebooked my flights home twice. Let's hope I get home on the 4th sept as planned : )

The surgeon I have been seeing since the operation has been fantastic. He really talks to me and explains to me everything that's going on. I think this would have happened wherever I had had it done.
