I have two beautiful daughters and had two c-sections. My youngest is turning two, and I gave myself two years to get the weight off and lose the tummy. My scar is fine, but there is skin that hangs over it that I can't get rid of. I am an avid marathon/half marathon runner, but I just couldn't lose my tummy.

I went to the same doctor for a few consultations before I worked up the nerve to set the date. I am having a mini tummy tuck with lipo and no muscle repair. I am super nervous, but from what I have read on here the pain isn't as bad as a c-section!

Will be adding some before photos soon... yikes!

My height is 5'5 and my weight is 145 pounds. A little over 2 weeks to go... starting to get a bit nervous. I am worried about my scar. I have seen some after pictures where the scar is just as big as a full TT.

Bummed... I wanted to get my implants replaced, but my doctor suggested leaving them alone. I had three surgeries due to a bad first plastic surgeon. I guess I will have to stick with what I have. On the plus side it means I don't have to stop nursing my youngest yet! (will pump and dump after surgery). Pre-op appointment on Tuesday, July 5th. I'm getting excited. So ready to get rid of the extra skin. I hope the mini is the right choice. I keep wondering if the full would have been a better decision, but I really don't want the hip to hip scar.
