I am a 38 year old mother of 4, ages 15,10,7, and 4. I have been considering a tummy tuck for about 8 years, but really became serious about it after having my 4 year via emergency c-section.

“A realization. Extended Tummy Tuck...”

My story starts in April of 2011 when I finally decided to get off my butt and lose the excess weight I'd been carrying around my entire life. After a number of failed, crash yo-yo diets in which I'd lose 20 or 40 pounds (only to regain that and more), I finally looked into weight loss in a more serious way. Over about a year I lost sixty pounds, and I have been maintaining my weight now (give... more

“Better Tummy then Before my...”

Ever since I had both of my children I developed this "pouch" in my abdomen area that I could not get rid of. I was self conscious about the tops I'd wear because I didn't want my "muffin top" to show. I wouldn't even think about shopping for a form fitting dress unless I had my Spanx on underneath, even then I wasn't able to totally smooth things out. Well... more

I waited so long because of fear and fear alone. I have a story like most women sacrificing my body for the evolution of the human race!
