WORTH IT$10,000
Getting nervous. Have my pre-op appt on Monday. Does anyone have suggestions for pre and post op diet that helps with swelling?
I really hope this procedure is worth the money. I've been thinking about this and wanting it for the past 18 years.
I'm so happy for this site. I've learned a lot from the experiences of others.

6 Days Pre-op!! Had my pre-op visit yesterday and I left there feeling really nervous. The day is approaching quickly. I think I'm most nervous about the recovery period and the fact that I am spending a lot of money and hoping I feel it is worth it afterward. About the $$$, I feel like the prices of tummy tucks are so random. I know you have to be comfortable with your surgeon and they should be board certified but I'd really like to know what the average cost is in Westchester, NY.
I'm sure I'll have more rambling to do as we move closer to the date :). Thanks for listening!!!

So...I went to my primary phys to for my clearance appt. She was very interested in my procedure, surgeon, cost, etc. She said she is dying to have a tt and had a lot of questions. When I told her the cost she said, "Wow! That's a great price.". So I am feeling better about the cost.
I have been busy at work so I haven't really had the time to focus on my upcoming surgery which is helping with my nerves. Next week at this time I will be home recovering on day one. I so want to be happy with the results but it's just hard for me to imagine because I've lived with my post c-section, vertical scar tummy for 19 years!
I'll post pre-surgery pics soon. If anyone has any words of encouragement, suggestions for pre or post op, I'd love to hear them.

Hi mstuck :). Good luck with your procedure! I am 13 wks post op and 46 yrs old. I think the procedure is worth every penny. I am so happy with my results and have no regrets. The #1 thing you have to remember is be patient. Everybody heals differently and you have to try and not compare your journey to anyone else's. It took me 5 wks for me to start seeing some real results. Swelling was really bad. A good compression garment is important. I have chunky thighs and my swelling settled there and my hips. I should have worn a CG with legs from the beginning. Something to keep in mind. Keep us posted :).

Ana313 thank you for the good advice. I'm happy to hear that you think the procedure is worth it. I want to feel that way too afterwards. My ps is sending me home in a compression garment with legs so hopefully that will help. Did you post pics?
