Full Tummy Tuck next month. Want to hear your experiences.

Hello all,

i will be 5 years out 1/31 from GBS.  i will be  having a full tummy tuck this December.

i weighted 234 at surgery and am now at about 150 +/- 2-3 lbs.  I have a hanging flap from the weight that's visible though some of my clothes, 3 vertical scars from 3 csectiions and a horizontal scar from my hysterectomy.

i've watched 3D videos that were on my surgeons website about, explaining the procedure, etc...but i want to hear real life stories from you all.

I had 2 pages of questions at my consult visit, of which he patiently answered all of them.  I guess I just want to hear other stories; both good an not so great. this will be an outpatient surgery done at a kaiser hospital facility. 

Again, any info you have would be great. As well, what do i stock the house up with as far as foods, will i only be able to wear sweats and loose T'sfor a while, etc?

thanks...harriet
