WORTH IT$7,500

after having my first baby at 30 I knew I would need to have a tummy tuck to look normal again. I had my second baby in 6/2011. I gained around 50 pounds each pregnancy and normally weigh 140. With my 2nd pregnancy I had really bad ab separateion and developed an umbilical hernia. My stomach is super gross. My belly button sticks out really far from the hernia and my skin is very wrinkly and loose. I can't wait to look normal again.

9/27/11 - I am getting very nervous yet very excited for the new me. I get so disgusted and sad when I see my stomach everyday. I am also nervous because I am having my in-laws in town soon and I have decided to not tell them about my surgery so I have to hide my stomach as best I can when they are here so they don't notice a drastic change between now and Thanksgiving.
Until my surgery, shapewear is my best friend!

1 more week until my surgery! I am feeling less nervous and more excited now. Still feeling guilty about not telling some family members and friends, but I don't want people to judge me for my decision.

Scared mum

Hey not long to go now!!! Don't feel bad about not telling certain people. You sort of know who will be negative about it and you are so right. Better off keeping it to yourself. My children don't want me to go to hospital. Thats really hard. I sort of wish I hadn't told them either. LOL. Good luck with everything and I can't wait to see your new tummy.

You only need to tell those who you are comfortable with. If you know they will support you and lift you up go for it. Otherwise it is only your business and you don't need anyone's approval or permission.

Keep your chin up and don't feel guilty:)
