Hello, I am 39 years old. As most of you my stomach is the area of my body that i absolutely hate. I am a bigger girl but am very happy with myself as the same. I weight 185 lbs and am 5 foot 5 inches. I have had 3 pregnancies and that has left me with alot of skin. I also gained about 100 lbs with my second pregnancy due to medical reasons. I have lost 50 of those lbs. The rest is very difficult. I am having my tummy tuck in May of 2011. (around there anyway) I am so excited. This website is a gem. Its the best source of information i have found. Thanks everybody for all that you have shared.

OMG, I read your post, and I am identical to you, all but 5 years older and only 2 kids. I am a bigger girl too, same height and weight. I had contacted a doc here in Columbus for a scar revision from a bad C-section. He suggested a TT instead...he said I would be much happier. I decided to do the TT, and I will be scheduling it in May too. Have you met with a doc yet? Do you have any reservations? Well, do have to say, this website has been a great reference too, and inspiring, I am looking forward to feeling comfortable in my old clothes again. I will be thinking about you in May! Stay positive and heal fast!

Still debating, Hello. It is nice to find people that resemble yourself on here. This website is awsome. Im glad you chose the TT. I have never had PS before. I am meeting my doctor on monday 1/31. I had a friend that went to Dr. Shah in Columbus. She loved him and his work. The website put the wrong surgeon on here for me lol. I have to do my surgery in May due to paying a bill off and my new job. May is a date i have in my head, not scheduled yet. Its when i have a bill payed off lol. I am so darn excited. Who are you going to have your surgery with? Glad to hear from you, take care girl.

I have to schedule mine too. I am going to Dr.G Holland. He's has been recommended to my by my OBGYN and another Doc. I met with him 3 yrs ago, and his is very patient and discreet. The cost was $6,300. He told me whenever I was ready, we can schedule. It will be done one month after scheduling. So, I already decided to contact him @ the end of February and let him know I plan on it @ the end of May, right before the kids are out on summer break...my mom is coming in for 2 wks to help me after surgery. I am nervous as all get out, but I know if I don't do it, I will always regret it. I think for the most part, there are more positive comments than bad, so I will take my chances...keep an open mind, and stay positive.
I will check in to see comments on your visit with Dr. Shah. Keep moving forward, it will be great~

I have chose to have TT with liposuction to upper abdomen. I would love to get my flanks done but that would be another 2000. I think i will still love the results. I can always get rid of my flanks, which is what i am currently doing. I have extra motivation now lol..
