Hi Lashun. What's your height and weight? Just trying to see how much more weight I need to lose before I schedule my surgery. I had a consult with Dr. Shell last year but decided to go ahead and lose more weight before doing to the tummy tuck. Do you know how many inches you've lost so far off your tummy? I know you're still swollen and everything, I'm just so curious to see how soon I'll see a difference after surgery.

Congratulations! You made it. So looking forward to reading about your progress. I have been on this site religiously looking at before and afters and reading stories. I have an olive complexion kind of like you so I will really look forward to following your posts. Concered about scarring, healing, etc but pleased when I see people who have followed their flat dream like you. I also have a 4 yr old and not sure how this works with recovery. Your thoughts would be helpful. I wish you the best. Heal well, rest and know we are here for your support.
