I've always had a cute figure..natural large breasts, thick body and a booty. All that changed after my child. I use to have a TINY waist, very tight and like a six pack. I have yet to see that again. Everytime I lose weight, I lose it in places that I don't want to and notice things start to sag(breasts). When I was pregnant, I was probably an H, so I do not want to deflat my boobs anymore. I also noticed a lot of cellulite on my stomach and my belly button isn't the same. I don't like my stomach and long for a nice waist like I once had. I also do not like my arms...big!!! My hopes are to get lipo on my arms, entire back, flanks and tummy. I am also considering a BBL. I would like a little lift, not a lot. I'm not sure if I need it as bad as some woman, but I really miss my waist and want that hour glass ...

I totally understand wanting the tummy tuck after kids. They really can destroy the abs. You have a beautiful body, and I bet a TT would just make you look absolutely amazing. Please keep us posted. Have you been on any consults yet?

Thank you Angie..I just don't know if I want or NEED a TT..I've been looking at a lot of pictues on here and on the web of women who needed them. I also have seen women who didn't need them..at least I didn't think so. I think I'm going to try and lose as much weight as possible before summer..and then see how my stomach looks. I am not having any more kids, at least i don't plan to. And I want a sexy body for the long run. I'm also VERY scared of something going wrong..I've been reading a lot about the risks and the complications. I really don't have a Dr. that I trust here in Chicago that I would go to for any ps. I definately would go to Miami. I don't know, some days I think YES and other days I'm afraid and think I don't need it. All comments welcomed;)

whatever you decide we are glad your here with us. I USE to have a great hour glass. I do again but I did loose the weight got really strong and as fit as I could (not super lean but lean) and all I ever noticed was the body shrankand like an over inflated balloon my skin just hung.it didnt shrink back.. my abs were flat even with a 2 inch gap (or about that I dont remember exactly) So we understand. Of course I think you look great. But what I think is not whats important...its how you feel about yourself.

My honest advice to you is to just simply diet and exercise. I wish I would have listened to my husband. I was just fine before too. But I felt that my boobs were deflated from breast feeding. I also lost weight but my stomach wouldn't go down like I wanted. I had a little wrinkly pouch and then discovered I also had hernia. I'm now recovering from my surgery. Ba and tt and let me tell you it has been hell for me. Although I know I will be happy with the results soon. I just wanted to give you my honest opinion. I think your breast still look good and just work out on your tummy. I don't think you really need it. I'm also from Chicago and didn't have my surgery there too. I made this decision when I moved to Miami. I hope I don't come across too negative. Just take your time deciding what you want to do.

thank you for your comments...I will take all in. I decided that I'm going to try and lose my stomach and see how it looks and feels and go from there. I don't think I'm in the situation as some women after kids and I guess why fix something that isn't broken. We'll see and I will keep you all posted.

What ever  you do decide. we stand with you in it. I had a lot of weight to loose at one point and i understand that opinion from MrsM too. Just know you are beautiful the way you are.. AS ALL OF US WERE.. but it's you in the end who needs to be happy..
