I am 50, mother of 3 children, aged 20, 16 and 13, one with a C-Section. For years I have thought about what it would be like not to have the jelly belly that I have grown used to since my second child. I am 5ft tall and about 135. I hide it pretty well but still, it's like I have an apple in the middle of my belly!

I am really getting excited now! I took the picture with me last week and he drew on it so I could see what he was talking about! I found it hard to "see" over my belly when I met with him the first time! lol!
He seemed excited to be able to do this for me!!! He said he is a perfectionist and won't let me up until he has measured and measured and is completely satisfied with his work!!!

I am looking forward to seeing your pictures of afterwards. I am 40 kids age 19,16 an 14 and am really considering doing this,this winter. I need to see my after pictures of people and hear more stories of how happy they are that they did it!!!Please post pics and tell me every thing you can about the recovery (which I am very afraid of!)
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!

Ha, I am afraid of the recovery too, but then again, it's b/c I have read so much about it. Unlike having a c section for the first time, I had no idea what to expect. I expect the muscle repair to be significant and painful, but oh if the flab is gone, I can endure anything.
July 14, 2011
yes, no more flab. sometimes i roll my fat roll so it is tucked inwards to see how nice a flat stomach would look! LOL Do you have a date yet? Looking forward to hearing all about it! I am 5.4 weight is 145. I am good every where except tummy. I look like you ! I am sure the muscle repair is the worst part and also, it sounds like the lipo is too...

I am 58 people tell me I look like Im in my 40's. I work out and keep in good shape. My stomach was never attractive and bothered me for years. No matter how hard I worked out it looked like a bowl of jello. I hid it well in my clothes, but couldn't stand the sight of myself naked. At 57 I thought I might be too old to have a tummy tuck and a breast lift with implants. I came in to a little bit of money and I decided to go for it. That was at the end of January. Can't tell you how many compliments I get. I was thrilled but I didn't like the size of my new breasts. I thought they were too small, and my stomach never got completley flat after the tummy tuck. My dr is now doing a second tummy tuck to my stomach completely flat and I am having my implants replaced with larger ones. I will let youknow the results in a couple of weeks when I have the surgery. I do look really good but I know I will look great after the second surgery

I am also 58 and going soon for a post op visit, I am scared to death of improper healing. I have stretch marks above my belly button and a flab of skin that hangs over pubis area, I hate looking at my stomach, no matter how much I have exercised, it still looks awful. Was the pain worth it and did it improve your feeling of looking better.

Anyone out there with a tummy tuck gone bad? I have tried to find some pics of bad ones but no luck. I have smoked all my life, 58 years old, but stopped a few months ago, I was told it was important for surgery, I'm just so scared there will be complications, any advice would be helpful.
July 15, 2011
Absolutley!! I have now regrets. I love the way I look in all my clothes. I was in a dressing room in the mall and the young girl said to me when I was trying on clothes "wow I wish my stomach was flat like your". My biggest problem is I buy way too many clothes now. Everything looks so good on. I must have 20 new I N C tee shirts lol!! The pain was worth it. I will post pictures of my surgery before & after both times when I have my second surgery. I am having my second surgery n 7/26. I'm a little nervous. I know I will love the results. Good luck to you. By the way I bought a 2 pc bathing suit. I haven't worn one since I was in my 20's. I wish I did this 10 yrs ago.

I am also 58 and in good shape. I had surgery in January. I don't smoke. I did have problems when I came out of the anthesticia. They had a hard time waking me up. My lung function was not good and I had to stay over night and work with a repitory therapist. My husband was really scared for me. I was ok after the second day. I think you shouldn't even consider the surgery until you quit smoking.

Hi Desert Hot. I saw your post and I wanted to let tell you this. I am 50 years old and had my tummy tuck almost 6 months ago. I quit smoking 1 month before my surgery, and have no complications from my years of smoking. I have had some healing issues as far as scar tissue and tightness, but my scars are almost healed and look really good. You can't cheat though...you have to stay quit at least until 1 month after your surgery or even better...never smoke again. Hope this helps.
