Hello everyone!, i'm ver excited to say that after 15 years and three kids, all weighing over 8 and 9 pounds each, delivered naturally, i'm FINALLY going for that tummy tuck surgery i've been wanting for 15 years! I'm 41, all my kids are teenagers now, will NOT have anymore kids...lost all the weight i can on my own withing about 8/10 pounds, and my tummy just is NOT the same! lose hanging skin, pulled muscles the works! I went into my doctors to talk about breast reduction, i have rather large breast for my height and weight, and have always had back/shoulder pain because of it. So i joked and said "well i wish you could take care of my tummy too!" He said, let me see...i showed him my stomach and he agreed after examination that i would be a perfect candidate for the procedure, in fact he could do both at the same time! So Mommy make over here i come.....pics coming soon. ...
