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

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.
Thanks so much kimmers25 you look great I love your pictures you always make everyone feel great on Realself and I don;t know what we would do without you. 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

Thank you :)   Oh yes the Tummy Tuck will do the trick!  You really will feel like a new woman when this is done.
Thanks i hope u can get watever work done u want when is your date, and hang in there
I am so glad to hear you have your drains removed and you are doing well my big day is march 18 and I am so mixed with emotional that I don't know what to do ....
