I think what you are going thru is normal but take a deep breath and breathe.
The pain I felt was more in my back from not being able or allowed to stand up straight than pain in my abdomen. And I had a slough to gangrene. How abooit that I must be nuts to want breast lift after all I've been thru.
Think positive and keep writing here for support and advice.

being nervous is normal...I think maybe you have seen enough videos!

Yes it is painful...but that is they they have meds.  And the results are sooo worth it!  I am 7 weeks out and I would do it again in a minute.  Love my new tummy.  Remember just stay focused on the end result and this is just part of the journey.  Yes there are risks..but that is with any surgery.  If you are going to a good doc and are in good hands...you will be fine.

Come here for support instead of you tube!

 You are going to be fine.  What you are feeling is normal but you don't have to live in fear.  What I did was to visualize how terrific my body was going to look.  I made a mantra and said it to myself over and over up until I got on the operating table.  It can be anything that makes you feel good.

I said,  I heal easily and beautifully and everything always works out for me!

My LBL was the least painful of my surgeries.  pain pills work wonders!

Good luck!

 You are completely normal for feeling scared. I am only 13 days out so I know I still have a way to go, but these past 13 days were 100 times easier than I ever would have imagined. We all have different experiences, some have more pain than others,some have more complications ect... But you are young and healthy, and I am sure you researched your surgeon. So I positive you will do great. Come here as much as possible. You will get 95% of your advise from the people that have gone thru the same thing. You will get so much info on what to eat, drink, what vitamins to take, what to pack, advise on drains, stitches, how to deal with complications ect.. This group of people is one of the biggest tools I have had these past weeks. Good luck, I am excited for you.

I just had my tummy tuck 3 1/2 weeks ago. I got nervous beforehand too. It's not an easy road, but you can definitely handle it...  :)
