“Hernia and Tummy Tuck - South Africa”

i am 28 year and have a 7 years son, daughter of 4 and a nother daughter of two. i dont want to have anymore kids. but my tummy depress me, i dont have a problem with my body but the my issue is my tummy, i was big with my kids, the beggest was second daughter who weight 4.27 , and i did a c-section, but the didnt do a bikin cut, the did that cut from the start from the navel down to the pubic bone. my challenge is if i have that kind of cut, will it not affect me when i do the tummy tuck.i stay in south africa and am very worried, please advice. I am going to see a gp, who is going to ref me to the surgeon-i am not worried-payment wise, because i a have a medical aid that is going to pay for my hernia repair and i have to pay for the tummy tuck which i want to do the same daywhen i do the hernia repair- to avoid lot of cost.

Guess what, that lady is in the bus and the good news this time, next to her the sit is available. theni went i sat next to her, i didnt waste time. i asked if i knew her from somewhere but not sure, that when she tell me that she was working for the gyne, but now she is no longer working for the gyne, she is working for another Dr, @ Rosebank Clinic.
