Hello, I have been reading all your stories and am grateful for your recommendations and updates. Here is a little about me. I am 49 years old, with 3 kids, 17, 15 and 9. I am 5'5 and 134 lbs. I work out every day and cannot get rid of my belly. It is mostly genetic for me, to be honest. I was 112 lbs in high school and had a jelly belly! I am nervous but very excited to have a flat tummy as I have never had one! I am gathering my supplies and have just purchased a BackMax per a reommendation from here. Will update periodically!

Thank you to all of you who are posting your experiences. I am on this site every day and it helps trememdously. I feel I know what to expect . I think the most difficult on this journey will be being patient. Patient for getting back to normal, to sleep well again, etc.

I thought your picture was an after pic, I agree with snowbunny But I know we all have our reasons and you need to be happy. Best of luck :)

You're right, we all have our own personal reasons. I don't feel comfortable in certain clothing and mostly not in a bathing suit, the front isn't bad, but the side looks like I am pregnant. I would like more of a waist definition. I know I don't look horrible but I am apple shaped and I feel my stomach does not go with the rest of me. I gained 70 lbs with my second child, and while I don't have much subcutaneous fat, I do have loose skin. As we all know, you can't tighten loose skin no matter what.

I understand I am 114 lbs and I work out almost every day. I am only 5' but the jelly belly and fat is disgusting for how much hard work I do to exercise. I had two c sections

Had my preop today and feel nauseous now after hearing the whole spiel. Getting very nervous. Received prescriptions for Scopolamine Patch to be placed the night before, Percocet for pain, and Zofran for nausea. They gave me tow spanx type binders that sip on sides and hace corset hooks= LIke a brief panty that goes right below my boobs. I will not have lipo, as he said I don't need it, he doesn't know about MR till he gets i there, and I mostl likely will have JP drains. Trying to relax and deep breathe-telling myself this is all very doable.

I hope I don't pass out at pre op not to mention the day of or during recovery. I am very squeamish.
