WORTH IT$8,700
I finally had my tummy tuck with lipo after having 3 children. I was afraid to have it done because of the risk envolved. I also felt guilty of doing something for myself. Since I spend much of my time taking care of others. I am 39 yo mother of 3. I am 5'2 and 128lb. My goal is to to have a flat tummy again like I did 19 years ago. This will improve my self esteem significAntly. The procedure went well although recovery is painful. You have to have someone care for you for at least 3 days. Thank god for my hubby!

I am now 4 days out from my TT. It's pretty rough. I am starting to get a little depressed because I still can't stand up straight because of the pain. My back is killing me. I only feel good when I'm sitting down. The Percocet does help though. I took my dressings off 2 days ago and I love my flat belly so far. I have some bruises and swelling though. My belly button looks really weird and raw. It doesn't hurt at all though. JP drain is still in draining pinkish color. Although I feel like crap today, I still think it was worth it. I posted some before pics but for some reason there upside down. I will post some after pics when I get the strength to take some :-)

I with you girl. I had a full TT and lipo 4 days ago. And I feel a lot of what your goin through. The Percocet helps so just stick with it and don't get depressed. Your gonna be back to 110% in no time taking care of kids then. But for now focus on you. Wishing you a fast recovery :-)

I'm 1 week out from surgery! All is well. Still have pain but controlled with pain meds. I'm able to do more now but not for long periods. My lower back has been bothering me more than anything. Planning to get back to work next week. Hope I'm ready! Getting my drained removed tomorrow. So excited to get rid of that thing. No more Lovenox injections either. Yayyyyy!!!!
Posted a post op pic today. I can see a big difference already. Still have a lot of swelling though.

Congrats and welcome to the flat side. You look great!

You look amazing. Felt somewhat guilty before making my decision due to close family members telling me that plastic surgery is for the vain. But I am 29, with 2 kids and I am a hell of a wife and mother! I refused to walk around the rest of my life with that kangaroo pouch! Can't Wait til summer!

Thank you ;-) you have me cracking up (killing my abs) with the kangaroo pouch comment. That is hilarious because that is exactly what mine looked like. Hated it

Don't I know the feeling! I watched the comedian Kevin Hart earlier today. Whew! It hurt so bad I had to turn it off.
