Im a 33 yr old mother of two. 5'2" 150 lbs. Before my second daughter i was always around 120 and curvy. Im having a tummy tuck because i want to be comfortable again in my clothes, my body, just in general. I exercise alot, diet, yadayada and just feel helpless when it comes to the excessive fat hanging stomach. My kids are older, i have amazing support, so here goes.

I did see the nurse and have my next visit with him on the 23rd of March. I can't stop looking at pictures of the procedures to compare my tummy and what results I might have. She did ask that I lose 10lbs so I am doing my best. I'm 5"8 and 200 but i wear a sz 12. I'm fine with my body just have hated my tummy since children. I still keep asking my husband if he is ok spending that kind of money on me? I could have done this a few years ago but sent my daughter to college instead, I have a hard time thinking about my needs vs others. I will post picture when I figure out how to?
