I am a 35 year old mother of three. After my second child I lost post baby weight and then some. After the third I again lost baby weight but the sagging skin and stretch marks will not leave. I work out 4 days a week and am in good shape but get discouraged when my shirt rides up or when my skin falls forward when doing push ups. I had breast lift and augmentation a year ago and had such great results its time to fix the tummy. Had consultation with previous dr. and she agreed tt is the right option.

just did 90 min. spin class and the whole time I had a grin on my face! I kept thinking in a few months I wont have this extra skin in my way! I will be able to wear the cute workout tops! I will miss the classes during recovery! I wish it was next week! I just want to get this over with so the recovery can begin!

Funny thing about the drains, I had them for breast lift and had totally forgotten about it. I know with tt they will be in longer but I am hoping I will quickly forget about them when I get to enjoy the results.

starting to get some anxiety about whether this is the right time to have the tt. Night before last five year old was in our bed. Last night three year old had wet pjs and ended in our bed. Trying to get three year old used to not being carried. My husbands great but it will be a challenge for him. Next year I will be working part time so it really should be this year. just nervous.

I am not wanting to tell everyone that I am getting a tt. I could see my kids going to school and announcing it in share time! So does anyone have any suggestions on what to say? Hernia repair? I have to have help with my kids as all my family is out of state.

I talked to the surgeon that is doing mine and asked for some kind of generic dr note and he said to tell people I have an umbilical hernia if asked because I don't want alot of people knowing.

I have started making a point of not picking up my three year old. She loves to be carried! I've been making her climb up into her car seat by herself and I tell her how fun it is to hold hands! I have a month to break her of habit!

I know its going to be so hard for me because my son will be 20 months when I get my TT and he is such a little guy that he can't climb into the car and into his carseat on his own... I tried the other day but he didn't listen and just ran around in circles outside...lol! I am glad you are having an easier time with your little one!

Thats funny. I think I will have to allow 2xs the normal amount of time. Usually I kinda rush around last minute. Won't be able to do that!

Why: I was unhappy with the underdevelopment of my breast to begin with. Then, this past year I lost 35ish pounds and became more unsatisfied with the volume and shape of my breast in proportion to my body. I am a curvy girl, I've always loved my hips and booty. Pre-operation I wore a 36 B cup, desiring to be...
