WORTH IT$12,000

So i am 31, two kids 8 and 3 and in my life lost 70 lbs after kid one and maintained a healthy weight after kid 2. I have been at a heathy BMI for 5 years. I am 5,2 and 135 Lbs. I am a runner ( I just did a Half Marathon Sub 2 Hours) BUT>>>>> I had massive stretch marks and extra skin, it was very noticeable in a Bikini and when I sat rolled over my jeans.

I had a Tummy tuck, for skin removal and navel reshape and muscle tightening. Mine was not about weight loss.

I dont need to hear, that i did not need it, cause as we all know comedic procedure are best when you are at a healthy BMI to achieve the best results.

Some people didn't think I needed it, either. Well, they never saw my stomach. Plus, I couldn't do a situp (my favorite part of a workout) to save my life because of a severe diastasis. I was having problems with my back because it was compensating for my stomach. Sometimes, you just need to do what you would like. You look absolutely awesome already and it will only look better with time! Good for you!

Most people would be amazed if I told them I needed this procedure! I'm also at a very healthy BMI, 5'3" and 115lbs, only 17% body fat, a runner and triathlete - have a 1/2 marathon this weekend actually, I've never gone sub-2 though! I'm a size 2, no "muffin top", VERY strong abs. Don't want to be smaller, don't want to be flatter, don't need to lose any weight at all. But the skin is still there. Could never wear a bikini or run in a sports bra and shorts (I have before pics up on my review) You look wonderful! I'm thrilled to find some pics of people who are already "skinny" because sometimes when I look at pics of those who still need to lose significant pounds, its hard to gauge what my results might be, ya know?

So today is almost a week after my TT, I am still feeling tight and a little hunched over, but over all great. I am getting a little weight obsessive and wanting to diet and exercise.... i would hate to gain any weight through this.

I plan to go to a Halloween party today, and other than that relax......god is this boring to recover, i have actually been doing computer work this whole time lol, I hear alot of women asking about going back to work, since i do alot of work on the computer I will admit i never stopped really since my surgery, ok maybe one day....:)

Again i have run a marathon just the week before my surgery so i am very active, this is killing me!!!

Thanks for posting, I am having my TT in 2 weeks and my body is similar to yours, so seeing you looking so good 3 days after surgery gives me lots of hope... also knowing that people with similar issues (not doing it for weight, but just to remove the extra skin) took the decision to go forward with the surgery helps me deal better with the constant "are you sure you need this" looks

honestly it should be for skin removal and not so much weigh, thats why doctors tell you to loss weight before your procedures.
