While researching before and after pictures prior to deciding on a surgeon, I had a really difficult time finding images with a similar body type to mine. I am a former fitness model and after my first pregnancy gained 50lbs and stretch marks. The second pregnancy was a weight gain of 35 lbs. I have since lost the weight and my body looks even better than it did before the kids- I have a six pack that I worked really hard for and cannot show off :( I am having my surgery on 2/13/12 in the NYC area and will post before and after pics for reference. I have had breast augmentation (before pregnancy), so if anyone has questions about that I am available to answer:) Stats: 5'5", 130 lbs. measurements: 32, 25, 34

Its day 4 post op and I am finally able to walk on my own! I went to the Dr. today and he did not remove the drains because there is still lots of fluid coming out- maybe tomorrow if there is less than 30cc in fluid, if no monday :/
So far each day is getting better. I cannot wait to hug and squeeze my kids!
I have attached a new photo, but I did not remove the bandage.

My Doctor: Dr. Fiorillo
My rating:
I started looking for a plastic surgeon to perform my tummy tuck after having my first child five years ago. I live in an area of Long Island where there are plastic surgery centers on every block, but I chose to use Dr. Fiorillo who is located in Rockland County NY. I was looking for a doctor who completely understood the fit look that I was going for. His work is amazing and I am loving my new look!! My scar is razor thin and low enough to wear a bikini! I highly recommend him!

I am going to see Dr.Fiorillo in Rockland County. I will post pictures after surgery.
Thank you for wishing me luck- I go in on Monday :)
I am in a similar situation. Fitness is very important to me and after three large babies my abs are split (diastasis recti) and i have lots of wrinkley stomach skin :( I wish i could get my tt now, but my kids are so little I wouldn't be able to care for then while recovering.
I cant wait to hear how you did and my prayers are with you in your recovery!
My first drain is getting removed on thursday and the last on monday. Can't wait- thanks again everyone and as soon as I can take a picture i will post! :)
Hope you are recovering well :)
Glad to hear you are healing ok and you dont look too swollen.
Did you get any muscles repaired or just the skin removed?
Keep us updated! I cant wait to see how it looks when the swelling is gone :)
When is your surgery?
I probably have to wait another year or so :( I'm scheduling consults with local doctors soon though.
My youngest child is 7 months and since I'm the primary catetaker, it would be so impossible during recovery lol. I'm hoping eventually my little one will sleep thru the night so I can convince my husband and mom to take off work for a few weeks while I'm healing. (Will be easiee on them if they dont have to wake up every few hours).
Im really looking forward to your updates since your bodytype is so close to mine. Happy healing!
