“My TT and BL Journey - Saint Louis, MO”

All my life I have always had a lower belly and then after having kids and some weight gain, the belly became bigger. I used to drop the weight but gain it back. Each time I drop the weight I said I didn’t want to go back but did anyway. We had this management class at work one day “Becoming a Corporate Athlete” and in that meeting they asked up to make goals for... more

“Full TT with MR July 21st - Saint...”

I had 2 children (3 and 10 years old) via c-section and I'm left with an "apron" of skin on my tummy. I recently lost 20 lbs of baby weight but I'm still 5 to 15 lbs over my ideal weight.

“2nd Week & Some Days are Discouraging”

Finally had a full tummy tuck on Aril 7th. The day after the surgery I was so happy because I made it through the surgery. I was convinced I was going to die or I wouldn't wake up. I had trouble waking. You want to wake up, but you can't keep your eyes open. I also felt some pain in my abdomen area. They gave me more pain killer as I was waking up from surgery, but it didn't... more

“Small Children and TT - St. Louis, MO”

I am 36 and have two small children (ages 2 years and 9 months). One of the things about the TT that I am most concerned about is caring for the kids after the surgery. I will have help for the first week, but my kids are very "mommied" and are always on my lap, in my bed, and, just, well, ON ME! Do any of you have experience with a TT while having small kids at... more

“Age 30, Tummy Tuck After Having 2...”

Well after being chubby my whole life and having two kids at 19 and 20, I lost a large amount of weight when I was 22 and knew that I needed a tummy tuck. I am 30 now and finally can afford to have it done. The doctor is charging me 10k, which I thought was on the expensive side since I do not want lipo, but he came very highly recommended. I am a nurse, and I asked his nurse to level with... more
