1 year & 3 months post op new pictures Manhattan new york

i am start by saying how happy i am that i finally scheduled my surgery.i have seen numerous doctor including one who just traumatized me after his consult i wanted to stay home and never ever go out again. i found my doctor thanks to this website. he is awesome to say the least he made me feel comfortable i dont even let my husband see my stomach and this gentle i had just meet less than 5 minutes ago had his hands all over it. any advice you ladies can give me would really appreciate it since i dont know what i need to over come this surgery. also if any one can let me what things did they use after surgery for comfort pain and swelling.. is this anything like a c section? lol.

i am 23 years old weight 235 have two children my daughter a year and eight months, my son is nine months old. both my babies were ten pounders so my stomach stretched out ridiculously it looks terrible. i am just embarrassed to go out in clothe i look great i manage to look thinner in clothing somehow. but i just dont feel comfortable. sometimes i wonder if im being selfish because having these two lil babies my husband thinks we should use the money and put a down payment on a new car but we dont need a new car ours runs perfect and we just recently invested $2000 to get things fix before they brake and the car its in excellent condition. so i had worried about being selfish but i need this for me i am young and i deserve my life back. well i put in the deposit today so there will be no going back i cant wait to see a flat tummy.
