Oh my goodness, I have wanted a tummy tuck for 25...
WORTH IT$6,500
Oh my goodness, I have wanted a tummy tuck for 25 years...I am 53yro. 61"tall and current weight is 163. I have lost down from 205. Diet and exercise. I had lost 60 but gains some when peri -menopause started. (it sucks).
I so want a flatter stomach (no pouch) stretch marks don't bother me.
I want to tuck my shirt into my jeans and wear my western belt again without bulging lower belly. Look nice in swimsuit again.
I have initial consult 7 Jan. My biggest fear is he will tell I can't have the procedure.

Hey, I say go for it wholeheartedly. No doubt your PS will be able to do this for you. It is just the best feeling to not have a pouch. I am 49 (not a spring chicken) and wow... it has made such a difference. I look forward to following your journey to the flat side !! Take care. Suzi

Hi, just checked out your photos my friend. You are going to have such good results. My tummy looked similar. I had vertical scars from previous ops, lots of spare skin from loads of weight and no belly button. Have faith. All that tummy will be gone for ever.... glad you enjoyed your Zumba class, very energetic !! take care. Wont be long now..... Suzi

Husband is starting to get a little excited about this now ..Making nice little comments..went to dinner last night and was walking around window shopping and he says "when you get your new flat tummy I will bring you here and buy you that dress" Wow....now he will need to take me some where to wear this dress..lol
I am trying not to drive everyone crazy talking about the tummy all the time ..I really am possessed ...Son came over today asked so mom how do they do this thing...so you tube popped right up ..he sat and watched the whole procedure..all he could say was oh my...( he has had about 4 surgeries since he was 5) ..he just worries about his mommy...
Been following my diet religiously and exercising last Zumba class was a toning class...(did not realize there was different kinds) OMG!!! last night and today could hardly move..and I thought I was in pretty good shape from all the walking I do..big wake up call..so Monday it is back to the gym..Been on this Metabolism diet since the 2nd...can't see any results but I do feel better...No sugars or wheat have not had a diet coke since Oct.3..cutting down on coffee...drinking lots of water. Have not had a cigarette in 2 days getting easier..
Last 2 weeks was just cutting down more and more each day.
Well I need to get to bed..

Well i was very bothered by my doggy ears. In my opinion it ruins the whole shape of the tummy tuck. Some people can live with them, I couldnt. If you check out my pics u can see the doggy ears that i had snipped. im very happy with my revision.
January 24, 2013
New York I agree that the dog ears ruins the shape of the tummy tuck. When I go for my 6 month check up I'm going to have him take a closer look at my left side. I can see the dog ear and I notice it with my clothes on. Im sure no one else notices it but I do! Girl you look fantastic!

Getting Closer....was just sitting here reading all the reviews from all the wonderful women , glance up saw the calendar..realized that my pre-op is one month from this Friday..
I am still driving my husband crazy with all the TT talk..so trying to tone it down.. was at Walmart yesterday and saw all the 2 piece swim suits..was thinking .....wonder if I will be able to wear one again..I was 22 last time I had a tiny suit on...maybe the top and shorts kind will be ok..
Well I have been gathering some supplies already and making list. Got my money...trying to avoid sick people (rather hard to do)
This weekend will be scrubbing the kitchen down..from ceiling to the floor...

tjuana, Thanks you ...I sure hope so...I absolutely love the Zumba...I have a disc at home so when the Doctor I work with comes back from medical leave I can do it at home..If they have Sentao Zumba try it ..OMG...muscle burn!!!!Right now I am just hitting all the different times as they fit into my schedule..But it is such a blast...the other morning I went at like 830 am. ....ok I am 53 I was probably the youngest in the class..lol they were awesome..tho..
January 24, 2013
Lol I usually go at 830 am too. I like to get . My woworkouts done early. Lol what is with this phone lol. I use to have the disk but gave them away. I just reordered them on ebay. I need to learn the moves. I hate not knowing them. I have Zumba on the xbox but it's not the same. If you are doing Zumba at a gym see if they have the step class that's awesome too!

January 29, 2013
yes, have been sitting here thinking .. what do I need to do...yesterday was thinking oh I have 36 days then phone rings now 2 weeks...lol..I also worry about preparing my hubby for the after ...he says ...I can handle this...are you all ready?
January 30, 2013
I hope so? :) I have everything ready for work (I will be out 6 weeks due to the hyst). I have people lined up to help me the first few days home (kinda glad I have a couple nights in the hospital due to the Hyst). I made a copy of a great list of things to have from one of the people here on the site... I have a recliner already. Everything is paid... Prescriptions still need to be filled. Hmmmm... I think thats it? I have clothes to wear, compression garments I am borrowing from a friend that had this done years ago. I feel SO ready! I cant stop looking at pics and wondering if thats how I will look!! :)
January 30, 2013
I know ...I do that to...like now I wear a size 12 jean and seriously since menopause started I gain 10 pounds so now a little snug in the belly..long story short ask hubby..think my jeans will fit better afterwards...doubt it ...your hips are still gonna be the same..men!!!!! oh tonight just to be mean I pick up this skimpy bikini at Target and said I am getting this one ...you should have seen the look of horror on his face..lol..
January 30, 2013
lol...No...should have but was already being a total [RS bleep]..he is still real insecure about this...thinks I am gonna leave him...men!!!
January 31, 2013
Ahhhh.. Gotcha. Hopefully he can get past that.. And remember that we do this for ourselves! I think kids and hubbies are so used to us doing everything for them.. It's hard for them to realize that we can do something for ourselves! At least that's the way I see it.
January 31, 2013
I think that is some of the problem ...I am doing this for me...now today he is all supportive..oh well...
tomorrow 12 more days...:-)
