Well finally I have I made my mind 2014 I will get my procedure as I can't put so much pressure on my darling husband n it's impossible for me to not cuddle my 7 month old baby . After 1 year my lil one will be 2 and first one will be 4 n half life will be bit easier so , my waiting is long but I'm happy will wait till than will loose loads of weight thinking to upload some pictures of mine so that all u lovely ladies can guide me what u guys think how much should I loose : ) but just thinking is it wise to be here as ppl just come 2 ,3 weeks before surgery ???
Great review?

It will be much easier for you after your baby is over a year old. It would be awesome to have you join the community, but it will be up to you on how you will feel about posting for a year. Some have done it. I have actually been posting for about 6 months. I think you can take the time to learn from others on here while you prepare for your surgery. It is an amazing community and I hope you enjoy it. ;-)

Hi, I noticed your last post was on the 19th. I hope you didn't change your mind. You are not selfish, and I promise your husband will be just as happy with your new bod as you will be. Not to mention what it will do for your self esteem. If you decide to still do it, we will be having surgery on the same day.. Mine is also on the 25th. :-)

I would like to say I too had guilt about wanting something just for me. I was always used to doing for everyone else, never putting myself first. My children are now grown, in their mid twenties...all three of them. I too had the hanging belly and an enormous amount of stretch marks. I felt absolutely disgusted when I looked at my body in a mirror. It was a nightmare to find jeans or shorts to fit because I don't have a large bottom or thighs just the hanging skin in my mid section. I had been going back and forth about taking the plunge and just doing it for the last 2 years! There was nothing holding me back except the excuses I made to myself. I will give you this advice...research your surgeon well. When you go in to talk to him/her also ask about who he uses for anesthesia. Sometimes people forget about the sleepers but they are very important as well! Life is short so go for it! I'm 2 weeks post op TT and I don't regret anything except waiting so long to do it! Good luck to you.

Drop the guilt...how many nice things do you actually do for yourself??   You deserve this:)

What you need to do is go for at least three consults before making a final decision on the doctor.  Research some doctors in your area here on RealSelf.  From there schedule consults.   You are going to know when you have found the right doctor for you!!!   Hard to explain but you will just know.   

Find the Right Doctor for a Cosmetic Procedure.  This link will take you to the doctor listing here on the site.  Start by clicking on your state and then your city.  You will be able to read doctor reviews and make connections with patients.  

And you are not selfish!  You deserve to do this for yourself.

Yes dear true but now I'm more confused as in don't know weather to wait till my son who is just 7 month old to get more indipendent n after two year consider this, or right now as in he is too small n I do have lot of help ????? Just wanna b very sure first that after 4,5 weeks will I b able to pick him n do house hold chores ?
