Ok well im a few weeks away excited and scared to death (thought about cancelling) lol
I'm 47 with grown children 5"3 and 134 lbs hoping to drop 4 more :) I have been exercising and am a size 4/5 happy with my size more or less need to tone and build muscle. However it's my stretch marks that have always been my issue. I hide them from even my husband as they make me very self conscious.
So I'm taking the plunge the doctor does drainless I'm happy for that and at my initial appointment confirmed by my own doctor as well they say my ab muscles have not separated so no muscle tightening needed. I'm hoping this helps my recovery time. They will hopefully get rid of most the stretch marks and my little ponch! He will do Lipo of the flanks as well.
I have my preop tomorrow I'm soo nervous for the surgery worried about the risks the pain and the outcome. What is scar is too high, skin can't be pulled down enough belly button is ugly yeesh. I really did consider cancelling so scarred.
Have my list of questions about supplies needed.
Day before surgery
Well surgery is tomorrow I'm so nervous! I think I'm prepared with all supplies needed feel like I'm nesting, house clean meals prepared lol.
Added a few more before pics (not sure why upside down sorry) my weight is 130lbs lost a few more pounds as you can see my main issue is stretch marks that are deep loose skin and a little pouch, which I'm hoping all gets resolved I'm a little worried I won't get as flat as I'd like because no muscle tightening (my surgeon and gp both agree my ab muscles have not separated). The Dr hopes to get rid of 85% of stretch marks I'm nervous about liking results getting a decent bell button and having enough skin to pull down for low scar and removal of old belly button yeesh worry worry worry.
Wish me luck! I'll update as soon as I can

Day 1 after surgery
So surgery went well dr said, but as I feared not enough skin to pull down so will have vertical line from old belly button. I'm not sure of placement yet as o haven't seen it . Laying in bed I have a dull pain managed by meds however getting in and out to go to washroom has been difficult painfull.
I'm itchy from Percocet but nothing I can't handle there taking 2 every 5 hours so far. I can't believe how much I've peed...5 times since I got home at 2:30 yesturday and I've only drank 2 Gatorade seems like allot.
Slept a few hours here and there.
Well that's it for now, I'd be happy for any tips fellow tummy tuckers.

He is right to the point and wants you to have realistic expectations. He was amazing the day of surgery very kind and considerate, holds you hand to see you under and there to check on you in recovery. You are given a cell number to reach him at once you go home. Calls the next day to check on you. I have been in for two follow ups and he has been super. The office staff is great the facilities are great. I would totally recommend
