“No Pain - Oakland, Ca”

I am 34, the mother of 3 children ages 6, 4, and 2. All delivered via c-section. I am 5'2 and my weight fluctuates between 120 and 125, which isn't bad!!! However, after those babies my weight shifted to various parts of my body. The most disturbing area was my stomach. I still looked pregnant. I had to buy clothes to camouflage my stomach. My oldest child always asked if I had... more

“A BBW and Her Tuck - Palo Alto, CA”

I'm a 42-yr-old mother of a 12-yr-old. She is my moon and stars, but my pregnancy (when I'd already hit about 200lbs) came with a 65lb gain and a 5-bra cup size increase over a month-long period.

I had lipo of my flanks, and upper torso, tummy tuck and muscle tightening. I'm glad it's over and now in the healing stages.

Hi ladies! So I'm a 43 yr old mom of two, a 21 yr old son & 8 yr old son. I guess you can say I was in shape size 9/10 most of my life. I'm 5'7" and usually weighed about 170 which was great for my body. But then add a 2nd marriage, a new son born via emergency C section ( larger than normal scar) & a bubbie that likes to eat out.

I am a 27 year old mother of four, ages 12,7,4 and 3. The pregnancy took a toll on my body, ruined just about everything.

“18 Days and Counting! - Palo Alto, CA”

I've done a great amount of research and although I feel as prepared as I'll ever be, I can't help but feel a bit scared; mainly about the anesthesia, I have never been put under and that scares me! Which brings me to this; yesterday I had my pre-op and expected to have labs and an EKG but my surgeon explained to me that because I am young and appear healthy there is no need... more

“Tummy Tuck - 1 Week Post Op -...”

I am one week post op on my tummy tuck. I feel great. My PS did not do drainage tubes and opted for 'quilt stitching'. Anyone out there who had the same technique? I'd love to hear your story (pros/cons). I was upright within 2-3 days. Not eating so much as I did not have my first bm until day 4. Thanksgiving was day 6, and I can tell in the pictures that my... more

“Worth It! - Mountain View, CA”

I am the mother of three children. My oldest child "tore me up" and I had prominent stretch marks all over my abdomen. At age 41, I finally decided to take the plunge and have a tummy tuck done. I went with a surgeon who was not the cheapest, but was licensed and very skilled. He specializes in high lateral tension tummy tucks. It has been about two months since my surgery. I am very... more

“Tummy Tuck... the Good and Bad -...”

I am 26 and have 4 kids. I've always had the loose skin since after my first born but it just got worse after my 4th kid. Done exercising and dieting and none seems to work. One day I decided I want a tummy tuck. Went to a few consultations and decided to schedule for a tt right away. Had the tt done on august 9 2010. The ps was absolutely honest and great. He made me feel comfortable.... more

“3 Months Post-op I Can Finally Say...”

I was always a healthy weight but after having a baby at 35 I just couldn't get my flat stomach back, so at 40 decided to undergo TT.Now three months later I'm having no regrets, although the recovery has been a long road. I don't know if there's a proper medical term to describe it, but essentially a portion of the flap (about an inch in diameter) right above the incision failed to close... more

“Internal Stitches in Tummy Tuck”

It was great! Procedure was good...just wondering about the internal stitches after so many years later...I did it to take some skin off after weight loss, and to tighten the muscle.I had a tummy tuck in 2002. My internal stitches still show up in xrays...my question is, can the stitches pop open after so long and cause distention in my upper abdomen? more
