I'm 47 year old mother of 4 (ages 13,15,21,23). I had one case toon and the rest vbacs. My first one ruined my body and the rest just added insult to injury. I'm getting a full tummy tuck with minimal lipo along the upper abdominal area. I quit smoking for this surgery, my true goal was to quit and this is the reward! Quitting in the past always gave me an awesome baby at the end. I need the motivation to quit. This has been great motivation. When I have had a craving I look up necrosis and it passes.
Stats about me: 5'8", 155 lbs. I e weighed 220 at the end of preg, 120 when I went over board after pregnancy. I like myself best at 140...my body prefers 150ish.
My mind is reeling over the quickness of this surgery. Will 3 weeks of not smoking be long enough to heal well? The dr said 3 weeks, but I know others require much longer.
My husband will be going out of town the day after I'm released from surgery center, I have to stay there one night. My mom and my 21 year old daughter will be coming to help me. I plan on boarding my dogs until drains are out; less for my mom to do and one is a 65 lb puppy who thinks she's a lap dog. I'll rest better knowing I don't have to worry about them.
I've done nothing to prepare yet. I have pre op the 13th, hoping he gives me a list.
I'll add pictures later: I'm not use to
doing anything on here but reading other reviews, which I've gotta say WOW they've helped
So very much.
Warm regards

Quitting blows
Quitting smoking, keep in mind I'm in day 3 withdrawals, blows. I've trupled my water intake, eaten lollipops, avoided my kids when I'm on edge, and talked myself down when needed.
This site has given me such inspiration and comfort! I'm so grateful for all the brave women to bear the scars we hide.
I originally wanted a tummy tuck, then got a tad greedy and thought the full make over would be awesome. But have backed down again to focus on the areas that truly make me cringe.
I'm a little foggy headed by all that needs to be done, but the lord willing I'll get there by the 21st.
