I am scheduled for my pre-op visit 3/18. I am so excited and scared at the same time! I know once I cough up this $ friday there is no going back now!! I keep thinking of all the things that can go wrong. I feel guilty having a 3 year old and taking a risk like this. Have any other mothers felt like this?

I can totally relate to those feelings! A recent trip to Mexico put it into perspective for me because I was there with my children and wouldn't even go in the pool because of how badly I feel about myself in a bathing suit.
I decided to make how I feel about myself a priority after that trip:)

Just wear cute underwear and bra so when they take the pictures it can match...some people take bikinis so you can tell your dr how low you want the line...

I agree with Fit Cam. Also wear cute/ low panties on surgery day so when he marks you up you can see if the TT line will be hidden. I did that and it worked! Mine is pretty low. Did your Dr say anything about a vertical scar (old belly button)? You don't look like you have a lot of loose skin.

Thank you! I definitely wore something low to cut a good idea of TT scar. He didn't mention anything about a vertical scar he did say that he will fix my belly button. Now that you mention that I wonder if that means I will have a vertical scar since he does someting to fix my belly button. I'm going to have to ask about that.

could u post a pic of your after and tell me of your experience there at the office

Definitely! As for my experience it has been pretty great. I really like Steph the coordinator and the surgeon. They have been very honest with me and realistic. They have kept communication with me as I ask questions even after my pre-op. So far so good.

Nervous surgery 4/7
I am so excited and nervous. Each day is getting closer and close!! Since I have had to stop taking my diet pills I have gained about 10 lbs. I was 153 and now 160. Is this something to be concerned about? Has anyone gained weight before tummy tuck surgery? My goal weight has always been 147 and im not sure how to control my eating habits now that im not taking my pills.
All us mothers feel this way during the planning. You are entitled to do this for yourself. When you feel good about yourself your confidence will boost. This will make you an even better mother. Just breath and feel good that you are able to do this for yourself.
