Hi, I am 23 years old...5'4" and 137 lbs. I've been struggling with my belly pooch since after pregnancy. I lost a lot of weight right after pregnancy because I was hardly eating. My skin around my abdomen was so saggy and stretched out due to the countless stretchmarks. I could literally pinch all the skin. I started to have a normal diet around week 3 post partum. I gained about 10 lbs in my abdominal area and thighs. My skin still appeared stretched but because of the extra weight it was hard to tell. I also had an umbilical hernia that had been causing some abdominal pain. After pregnancy, my butt became deflated on the sides and I hardly had a curve on my lower back. It looked like everything dropped. I had my procedure originally scheduled for May 7th, but it was postponed due to an automobile accident. I had my procedure done June 25th. So the experience is pretty fresh. I have a lot of back pain due to the lipo in my lower back and flanks..and abdomen is a little swollen. I pretty much lay on my side or on some pillows..on my belly. I hope my appearance gets better an

5 days Post-Op....
So....it's only day 5 and these drains are driving me nuts! LOL. I cannot wait until they're removed...simply because they make it difficult for me to sleep...or rest. They've moved out a little too, causing some burning): But, enough of my whining. I have a little swelling..so that's a plus! Playing with my daughter helps me get my mind off the cons. She's so silly. I have another follow up with my surgeon (from this past Friday) on the 3rd of July. We'll see how that goes!

Thanks! I hope you have an easy recovery as well! You may not be focused on the results right away because of being under anesthesia, but I'm sure you're going to love your results.

I am so glad for you! It's a slow process, isn't it? My back is just killing me today. I'm so bored, not being able to do anything! But st least I like what I see, besides the swelling... I'll keep following you.

Thanks! It is a slow process, but in the end it will be worth it. That's good to hear that you're liking your results. I look exactly how I looked a few years ago..except I have some boobies. LOL. But, overall I am satisfied. Keep me updated with your progression.(:

Looking great! How is recovery?

Thank you! It's okay. I guess only because I'm so bored. I'm always busy. But besides that, its not as bad as I thought. I thought I wasn't going to be able to do anything. I still do everyday life things except shop, cook, drive, and lifting my little one. Lol. I was extremely exhausted the first few days...that after standing for a while I would need to rest.

When did you have your surgery? I'm not one to just sit. I thought it was going to be more painful than what I have experienced. Don't get me wrong I am sore but that is to be expected. One thing i wish my Dr. Could have saved my belly button. To many surgeries and scar tissue but he said he could make me one later. No thanks im 47 im fine without it.You take care.

I had my surgery June 25th...so about a week ago. I'm going to get my "belly button" tattooed to be darkened. My surgeon said that after repairing the hernia, my belly button was just "floating".
