I,ve lost 120 lbs in the last 2 years. I am an avid gym goer and weight lifter. Although not as bad as I anticipated, there is this awful excess skin mostly from being so heavy. I also had 2 c-sections that contributed to the condition.

I would really like to have the flat belly I cannot gain with healthy living, but have worked very hard toward achieving.

I was originally scheduled for the 8th of dec. the date was moved up to the 5th. I was uncomfortable with a few things that happened with my ps and I changed docs. Date was then moved to the 28th. Muchbetter situation except now I am way behind where I had planned to be at this time! Had allergic reaction to tape used on eyelids during surgery. They are swollen almost shut and covered with tiny blisters. I look like h$!?! Today i will see the ps and the scar. Hope all is looking good. I have one drain that doesn't seem to get too full often. I dont know when he intends to remove it. All was going well until I sneezed last night. OMG that was excruciating! It still hurts today. I hope I didn't do any harm! Well, I will see the doc today. I hope you all are well!

Great review?

How on earth did u get ur insurance to pay..!!?? I'm 39 had 3 children and lets just say my stomach looks like a tiger. I have royal routes highways and streets that don't exist on mine :/ I'm 5"1 1/2 weigh 120 . I had my first child At 16 way too young guess the elastic in my skin really was not developed enough to get up to 173 1/2 at time of delivery. I am now copying with a herniated disc lower back. Tried physical therapy to gain muscle in abdominal area but had to quit do to it was only making things worse. Sorry to write u a book . Any suggestions on how to get insurance to off set cost.. Thank u soo much for ur time. Desperate ,Savanna

Hang in there and it will get better. But I am sorry you are having such pain:( The sneezes are the worst ever.

I am sure you didn't do any harm but I know how that hurts.
