36yr Old Mother of 3. Tummy Tuck W/ Lipo

Tomorrow is the big day (WOW) I'm getting my tummy tuck down w/ lipo of the upper abdomen and flanks. I've wanted this every since I had my last daughter. I have 3 beautiful daughters but it took a toll on my abdomen. My last pregnancy I was 230lbs and lost the weight great. I had several medical issues that required surgery (hysterectomy, small intestine ahered too vaginal cuff doing the healing process so I had to have another surgery that required a c-section scar). I had to have a cut that looked as if I had a c-section although I had all vaginal births. After that I developed the awful pouch that wouldn't go away. It's extremely hard to lose the weight since I had a hysterectomy and all of my weight gain is in my mid section. I'm going with the same doctor that performed my breast reduction last March and I love him. I went from a 40G to a 38D. I have my recliner and my family is very supportive of my decision. I'm excited and anxious to be on the flat side tomorrow and worried about the recovery. I just had a mani, pedi and wax done (don't want in grown hair in the incision HAHA) wish me lion my real self family as the flat side comes tomorrow in NOLA. IM SO HAPPY and this site has helped me make the decisions and prepare for my journey to the flat side. I will update as much as possible and have plenty of pics. I loved looking at everyone else pics so I will do the same to give someone else the confidence they need to go down the flat side journey.

Here is where my bed will be until I'm able to get in the bed. My bed is pretty high but I'm so happy to have this recliner to sleep in and helps me by raising completely up. I have a bathroom in my bedroom and the chair is about 15 feet away from the bathroom.

I've only had an hour of sleep. I'm anxious and excited. I've showered and have all my blankets, meds filled, magazines in my recliner and several nightgowns that open to the front so I can be comfortable as possible. My hubby is still sleeping, I will get him up in a few minutes. We have to report to the hospital for 5:30am today. I live only 15 minutes away. Wish me luck as the flat side is near. I pray all goes well and I'll update as much as possible during my recovery. Flat side here I come!!!!!!
