I'm 53 yrs old, and after having 4 daugters (all now grown up), and a disasterous marriage, i decided last yr that i owed it to myself to tackle all my health issues. Firstly, after having Pneumonia last November 2009 i dealt with my ingrowing toenails, painfull but worth it, next came my dental problems, now sorted. The next issue was my weight, at almost 5 stone over weight, i was obese. The very thought of having to watch everything i ate for such a long time till all the weight had gone filled me with dread but i knew i had to do it.
13 months later, i reached a good weight but i'm now left with an over hanging bellie. It saddens me to think i got to tuck it all in my knickers and could only think, be gratefull for losing the weight. I catch site of myself in shop windows and just hope that no one else can see what i see.
I have been considering a Tummy Tuck and after months of research, i decided to just do it. I searched the internet and trawled thru hundreds of before and after images, read through loads of stories from post op patients. Any info on the subject was gratefully recieved, after all, i was planning to do something quite horrendous to myself.

I contacted Laderma Clinic in Prague as the cost of the op was a lot more reasonable than the UK and asked all the questions i thought i needed to ask. I spoke to the PS Dr Cerna herself and i then booked the op. Whoo, i done it....

I had about 2 months to go as i need to save and i constantly think about it. Still looking for more info on Tummy Tucks and somehow still need to convince myself that i'm doing the right thing but then again,wishing it was tomorrow. Well, today as i edit my story, i got only 9 days to go and then i fly to Prague, OMG.......

I've been shopping, got new underwear, vitimin C, WHOO nervous now, bought non slip slippers, cross stitch kit to keep me busy in hospital, T Bags and goodness knows what else and OMG wish it was tomorrow.

Will keep you updated and will write more as it happens.
