I finally decided to get this procedure done after years of deliberation and sweating in the gym. After having three kids, I managed to work, run a household, and get back into shape. But my skin did not come along for the ride. I was left with raised stretch marks and loose skin covering a tight stomach. My surgeon told me that since my muscles were in great shape, he only needed to remove the excess skin and reposition my belly button. The scar will be the same as a traditional TT but shorter recovery due to no muscle tightening. The thought of a scar has kept me from going thru with it in the past, but I am tired of feeling self conscious about the way my skin looks. After reading so many positive posts, I feel optimistic about next week. I know it may be difficult initially, but I am looking forward to the end result. Pics to follow soon!

Welcome to the tummy tuckers:)

Honestly the scar is not such a big deal.  Not having the hanging skin is all worth it.  You will feel amazing and love the results.

I keep telling myself that one scar will be better than all the raised stretch marks and sagging skin. 4 more days and counting......thanks for the support!

3 days to go and I am getting cold feet! I should be excited but I'm feeling apprehensive. I guess that is normal, after all this is major surgery. I'm worried about that scar you guys. Help me please. I need reassurance.

Ok. I finally added some pics. Sorry they rotated for some reason . Someone referred to their incision site as "Frankenscar". Well mine must be Frankenscar's cousin! Lol. No regrets.
