“recovering just fine- California”

well where to start i am a mother of 4(13,10,8,2) im 29 yrs old i have never been a over weight or under weight so i pretty much maintain my weight im 5'1 132 lbs i try to work out when i can but all in all my belly is loose and i have strecth marks. i hate the way it feels when i wear certain pants you know my belly i have to tuck it in lol so thats why i want to get this done ive been wanting to get this procedure done for 5 yrs now but as i wrote on here before im so glad i didnt because i had a beautiful baby girl 2 yrs ago and now im fixed and so ready to do this :)

my husband said i dont need this but i feel i do. i am having a ftt and lipo of the hips and inner thigh so they dont rub anymore yay. i am nervous and sometimes have doubts but i wanna do this for myself... and noone else. so i cant wait to join all of you wonderful ladies here in recovery that have had it done already and enjoying ther new flat tummys :)thats pretty much about it.

i cant tell you ladies how much i thought this recovery was gonna be hard and take alot of time but i tyhank god that this has been an easy recovery man im alil swollen still so i cant imagine how good its gonna look when i can stand straight and not be swollen lol anymore i really love my new tummy i noticed my lower back doesnt hurt me anymore i think me hold in my tummy everyday and every min prob had something to do with that and having my core muscles being weak also had something to do with that so thats a plus :)well i gotta go to sleep tty ladies later.
