Hello special30 and welcome to RealSelf!  WOW five babies and how they do a number on the body.  Now it is time for you to reclaim that body and love what you see. 

It sounds like you have done some research on Dr. Rodriguez which is wonderful.  However I do recommend meeting with at least three surgeons so that you can be totally confident in you choice. 

Spring is a good time for surgery so that you will feel and look pretty decent for the summer months.  That is going to be here before you know it! 

I look forward to reading your posts and seeing you pictures.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

I sure will do more research I just am so tired of my stomach and all the hiding it in clothes stuff. I want to feel sexy again. I know a tummy tuck will do the trick

I just received an email from Special30 and she wanted me to let everyone know she is doing well.  She is busy with her children and also recovering. 

She misses everyone on the site and will try to get back and post her pictures soon. 

So send her some love ladies!!
