I find this site to be very helpful. Well, i've always been in shape but after a car accident and plenty of steroid injections, not being able to exercise and not watching what I ate... is what led me to blow up and get... more

“Tucked and THRILLED! TT with Muscle...”

I am 40 and the mother of 3 awesome children (ages 9, 7, and almost 3). I have wanted a TT since the birth of my 2nd child. So glad I waited because along came baby #3!

My skin is evidently not elastic... more

“Highly Recommended - Reston, VA”

I had an extreme abdominal separation after having children. I was experiencing back pain, looked five months pregnant despite postpartum weight loss, and was unable to correct this condition with any amount or type of exercise. more

“Patient, Professional, Trustworthy -...”

All the exercise in the world would not put my belly back to where I wanted it so I decided on a tummy tuck. It's a serious surgery and the first week of recovery was tough. My mother was home with me during that time and I can't imagine getting through that week without her. Everything with my tummy tuck went as expected and I had no complications during recovery.  It has... more

“Chicken "Older" - Chevy Chase, MD”

I am anxious, excited and nervous about having a TT. I am older and my daughter and best friend feel I don't need it, but I want it because I don't like the way my clothes "don't" fit. I also have a vertical c-section scar that looks like a front butt. Sometimes I think I am too old and being too vain to entertain such an idea. And other times I feel like I can't wait... more

“Washington, DC 5 months tomorrow.....”

I'm a 44 year old mom of 3 adult sons. I feel like this is my time to take care of me. I have given my belly the name Maggie. She is always in the way. I'm forever cropping her out of pictures or squeezing her too death in my spanx. I love traveling and I hate wearing that darn one piece on beaches all over the world. I have been wanting this surgery for years. So,I decided to bite the... more

“Highly Recommended - Bethesda, MD”

To improve self esteem, quality of life. I was extremely obese as a teenager (my weight topped out at 235 on a 5'2" frame).  I slimmed down in my twenties, making fitness an important part of my life.  At 32, however, no matter how much I exercised, or how much weight I lost (I am now 135) I was cursed with a "skin apron", that is, a loose overhanging flap of... more

“3 weeks post op and feeling great-...”

I was always a small and thin child. At the age of 9 my parents got divorced and my Dad did the best he could but I turned to food for comfort(no one to blame but me). I have his shape-thin legs but a big tummy. I got up to about 200 lbs in college and decided at 19 it was time to go. I had one every diet in the past but nothing worked. I exercised and ate well and lost 60lbs. Met my hubbie... more

“Not Sure This is What I Thought It...”

Waited more than 40 years for surgery, wasn't expecting to look like a 16 year old, but not expecting to look like I do now either. Got 3 different opinions, couldn't find anything bad on any of the doctors. Went with one that I liked. Last thing I told him before he put me down, do your best work and I'll do my part to keep it up. Have had very little pain, some mild... more

“Awake TT: FIVE MONTHS ON THE 24TH”

My class runs from today 8/22 to... more

“3 weeks post op! Completely FLAT!! -...”

I am a 5'9" 27 year old female living in Washington, DC. Since I was a kid, I was overweight. As I grew older, so did my girth. I grew out of junior's size clothing at 12 and had to wear women's sizes. By the time I got to high school, I was 200lbs. With my age, my weight increased, until I hit my peak weight in 2009 of 245lbs, wearing a size 22. I have been struggling... more

“Bon Voyage Everyone”

I am 46 years old and I have been wanting to do this for about 18 years now. I had to have surgery twice when I was in my early 20's to have ovarian cyst removed. I started noticing after that surgery that a little pouch had formed across my low belly above the incision. I figured in time it would go away, it didn't. In fact, over the years it has gotten bigger. Six years ago I... more

Here's a little background on me I'm 29 years old and a single mother of my beautiful son, who just turned 7. I'm 5'4 and weight 132 lbs. After having my son my weight fluctuated a bit, from 125 pre-pregnancy to 140 lbs post-pregnancy. I believe that's what left me with the sagging skin in my tummy.

“Male 39 Y/o TT W/ Liposuction and...”

My wife had a mini-TT w/ lipo done back in 2008. Her amazing success has inspired me to have some work done too -- a full TT with lipo to my stomach, back, and thighs, and gynecomastia. Due to work conflicts, I am not going to have my surgery early January 2011. I must admit that while I am extremely excited about having the procedures done, I am also very nervous about it too.

Now getting around, using the bathroom and things like that was a whole different story. My first shower was an... more
