37 Years Young...6 Children....scheduled Tummy Tuck with Lipo - Pasadena, CA
ORIGINAL POST
So....hi everyone...been stalking here for awhile...
WORTH IT$7,290
So....hi everyone...been stalking here for awhile waiting for the money and courage to embark on this journey....everything finally came together so here i am....doctor says lipo is part of the surgery for him so i am ok with it....hopefully i get a nice hourglass....he also says he will be going 2 inches above my belly button easily...thats kinda scared me but the though of 90% of stretch marks on tummy gone is um...exciting....but as the days go on...i find myself getting nervous of the pain....i am actively exercising and doing kettlebell...hoping to drop a few extra pounds...but he says im all skin so not trying to lose my boobs too ...lol...i am wearing a two sweat band tight with a corset at night to help get the muscles healing....according to what i feel it is mostly a bit less than a finger width diastasis i am dealing with...im hoping i can close it a bit more before surgery...or if i can a least get the muscles used to being close together then maybe the plication wont be as bad...i did read a doctor commented he does this with his patients....i dont wear it 24 hr..just a night then i wear a compression tank top under my clothes which hides the skin nicely....

Realistic expectations
As you can tell from my pics i am a mid torso body type...meaning...i have a very small distance between my ribs and hips..not much room for a waist...so im not expecting an hour glass figure...but hopefully at least some indentation of a waist with the lipo......remember ladies if your body type is short torso you will never have the figure of a long torso females....accept your body type and embrace it...make it the best it can be within reason....each body type has pros and cons...long torsos gain weight in hips and thighs, butt, get saddlebags....mid torso which is kinda where i am but more short ....gets inner thigh fat and has somewhat of a waist and longer legs with a decent butt....short torso...which is what my sister is...has a flat butt long legs and no waist.....its a trade off i guess...figure out your figure and go from there.....realistic ladies....

Me with clothes
Clothes can really hide a lot especially when you wear a a tummy control tank under everything...but just shows you how much stretched out skin i have...doc plans to go two inches above my belly button which kinda frightens me considering hes planning on cutting below my pubis hair line....um wow can you really pull it down that low.....i wont be hunching i will look like kinda like a Lopsided "T" meaning i while have to walk at a right angle.....scary

You are so right about having realistic expectations about your body type and what can be achieved. I would so love to have a 'proper' waist but I know that my body shape means it just isn't going to happen. I think I must be a similar shape to your sister but add in the fact that I am also an inverted triangle shape(broad shoulders/narrow hips) but dressing for your shape is key. I am 5' 9, which in my estimation makes that 69", 33" of that is leg, so my head and body total 36", and I expected a waist, lol !!

All i can say is kettlebell for butt, hips and thighs....make it more proportionate by adding some muscle.....and def clothing smarts is key....i dont like anything in my body so a tummytuck is like the only thing ill do....everything else is going to have to be hard work for sure....

My measurements are as follows....37 underbust/45 bust....im a 38h ...waist at smallest point is 35 1/2 and hips are 44... I think i more of a figure but my hubby says the angle is weird cause i didnt go high enough to show my high waist lol....i just look square to me lol....plus i used my ipad cause my phone is full and i cant fund a usb to clean it out with yet....ill take one soon that i feel better represents me...

I was trying to figure out your measurements you put and i see they are length measurements....short or long torso has no relation to height...my other cousin is 5' 1" and has a long torso and an awesome figure i might add.....i think this is more a hormone and genetic issue during puberty....less estrogen and more prone to android body type causes this...sucks i know...i always wanted that figure..i have two cousins with it...but alas.....im so weird android big boob big waist big muscle body.....oh well....

Absolutely, I am cleared to start working out again from tomorrow and the weights are at the ready:) Butt had started to lift the past few weeks prior to tt, legs are pretty toned but can't get my thighs any thicker (18.5" lol) gonna have to go heavier on the weights.

If you want to talk measurements, under bust pre op 32"(post anywhere from 30.5 to 34")
bust 38", waist pre-op[ 32", hips 34", shoulders(!) 38/39" or there abouts for shoulders. Buying clothes can be a nightmare.
When I was at my heaviest(9/10 years back, around 190 lb) I think my underbust was something like 40, bust was approx. 44, waist I can't remember dread to think, hips not much bigger tbh, maybe an inch or so.

Def short fat torso with very little waist and disproportionally long skinny legs

Damn i wish my waist was that small....at one point after my third child igot down to a 29.5 at my waist...but it was too difficult to maintain...i guess we all have our pros and cons.....unless your naturally born a perfect hourglass...my cousin has that perfect shape with big boobs....lucky...lol....we just have to accept our shapeand learn to love the parts that are good nd to accentuate them and to accept the parts that we dont like so much.....im learning to love my shape...actually since i scheduled the tuck ive been wearing bikinis....lol....i just tell my tummy....your keaving soon....enjoy your time...lol....glad you got clearance...im hoping to be kettlebelling again by 6 weeks even if its just 5 lbs hopefully ill start with ten again...right now im on a 15....

Def...gf...do it...we may not be perfect but ive seen some crazy stuff out there....you look good...who cares if your not hourglass? Most models have ruler shape.....we as women have to stop judging ourselves so harshly...most people ive shown my belly to tell me theyve seen so much worse on their own family members....

Im just going to start thinking like a guy...they dont care at all....and honestly i e noticed men r more attracted to heavy girls who are confident even if they have rolls and skin than to skinny girls who obsess about their bodys.....

You are right of course :) Good luck with your tt, I will be keeping my eyes open for your progress reports x
