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

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!

WOW you can totally see how ripped you are, you are going to look fabulous! I go 3/2 will be watching you, I lost 150 pounds, I am so stalled, so scared about what to eat while recovering I think you will be a big help! And I am sure you can relate to the horror of not working out! Will be saying a prayer for you today!!!

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.

Thanks for that pic I was wondering about the drains, they look huge and look like a real PIA< ughgg, hopefully you will get them out soon. This is part of the reality and I think it is good to see it. Hope you are recovering well!
