Hi everyone! Well, I am scheduled for my full Tummy Tuck this coming Wednesday. Nervous/excited/nervous/excited!

I have created a photo album on make me heal. I was inspired by Laura P. to include pics of me wearing my "goal pants" Just about fainted trying to zip them up, but hopefully I'll fit into them eventually. Feel free to look at my pics if you'd like. I'll be updating them as I go along.

All the best Mini. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am only a couple weeks behind you with my surgery on the 21st. Do you stay overnight at hospital? How long will you be off work? I'm so excited for you!!!

Hi BarbBee. I will not be staying overnight . . . DH will be bringing me home and taking care of me. Hopefully it won't be too awful. Are you staying overnight?

I'm actually off work right now until January, so I have LOTS of time to recover. Whew. How about you?

Hi Mini,

I have surgery scheduled for 8 AM and spend one night. I go home around 2 PM the next day. I wil be staying with my Mom for about 5 days as the nurse comes to check on you for the first few nights and won't drive out to were I live (about an hour away). Then I will go home to hubby.

The nurse said there will be 6 drains so I will see alot of them until the last drain comes out.

I will be off work for 4 weeks and then go back a half week part time then back into full time. I have been told the fatigue is the hardest part (once you get past the pain!!) Doc told me 8 weeks till I can get back to full exercise. Yikes! I'm a bit worried about that.

Glad you will be home and have lots of recovery time. We are almost the same age. I love thae fact that we will be smokin' hot for 50!!!!!:blush:

I would think your recovery will be a bit tougher than mine with the LBL, so good that you're staying overnight. You're going to look so good! My butt and thighs are awful, but I just couldn't come up with the money for LBL . . . but at least my tummy will look good! Yeah, I'm kinda' old for all this, but better late than never!

hi mini,

i was nervous before i did mine but i thought of the people that went before me that ended up having more plastic surgeries as well and they were thrilled. that gave me comfort

you will be thrilled...

i came home same day as my surgery. i was concerned about this but you know what??? it was a blessing to sleep in my own house. i slept in a recliner for 2 weeks and was very comfortable (of course i was on drugs for the first few days ha! that helps.)

try to get some rest....

Thanks for the encouragement, Josie. DH moved the recliner into the bedroom and that's where I shall be sleeping as well. This will be my fifth abdominal surgery, so you'd think I'd be used to it by now! I just hope it turns out well. Fingers crossed for a flat flat tummy!!! And, yes, I plan to be on drugs as well, for as many days as it takes!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
