Default Scared of the pain

Wow ,
I can not believe I am going to have my tummy and my girls put back where they use to be in 17 days.
It is only skin no muscle work at all.
The doctors says my muscles are in great shape .

I was hoping that someone that has had it done could give me some feed back. I am so scared. I have heard so many horror stories about the pain.
Doc says I sould be able to go back to work the next week after surgery. Seems hard to believe.

I have lost 113 lbs in the past 9 mths . I have been working out at the gym 5 days a week mostly wieght training. I got a trainer so he can help keep check.


Use to I could do a push-up or sit-up if my life depended on it and now they are almost easy. Well the first few anyway. LOl

I had TT, chin, and new girls. The pain was bearable and well worth it!! But nope, wouldn't try to work in just a week.

I've been cut anywhere and everywhere probably more than anyone else here. Three plastic surgeries covering every area imaginable. The pain from the incisions themselves is not that bad at all. The pressure garments (torture device) that they make you wear for a few weeks on the affected area is worse than anything else to put up with.
