Well I am going for it and getting a tummy tuck next Thursday. I am so excited and scared. I never thought I would be able to do this or come this far. I guess I have kind of done my own make over. First I got my braces and then my lap band. After losing the weight I had to get a small loan for breast aug. And now that we have paid that off I am getting a TT. I am going to make a show about it. Just kidding. But I do feel like I am in one of those make over shows I have watched on tv. I am just really scared having this surgery because my Dr said it will be about 4 hours. I have to get the TT and lipo on the outside of each of my hips because I have a big bump there for some reason. I know I will be ok. But it is hard leaving my 2 boys to have a surgery that is just for looks. It kind of makes me feel selfish. If something were to happen to me because of this it would be horrible. So if any of you have any good stories about having this done please fill me in ok. Thanks to all of you for always being there.

Good for you! This is my "makeover year", too! Got my lapband, next I'm getting a nose job (both for functionality reasons and for cosmetic ones), then once I've lost the rest of the weight, a tummy tuck and breast lift. I deserve it! So do you!

Congrats! I don't think it's selfish at all...i mean your kiddies want a mom who is confident and secure in her body..you'll teach them to be by just being that way yourself. So look at it that way.

Don't forget to take lots of pictures!!

I feel more selfish that I don't feel selfish! I totally cannot wait until my TT on the 21st of April. My pannus will be gone and my stomach will be flat. It is truly something to look forward to. Congrats.
