Hi, I'm 41 years old and I'm from the UK. I have the most wonderful husband ever and I have 3 beautiful daughters aged 8, 5 and 3. As much as I love them I have been left with a real bad tummy, not stretched but just extremely saggy, my kangaroo pouch as I call it. I have yo-yo dieted most of my adult life with my weight ranging from 112 pound to 210 pounds during pregnancy. I'm currently 150 pounds and I'm happy with my weight. I'm 5ft 7 inches tall.

I had my surgery in a private hospital in the UK and all I can say is how amazing they were. It's been like spending 2 nights in a 5 star hotel. The service was better than a lot of actual hotels I've stayed in. The staff were perfect and the service was excellent

well its my pre-op appointment tomorrow and I'm feeling so nervous. I can honestly say I didn't expect to feel like this at this stage because this is something I have wanted to do for so many years. I'm actually in two minds as to whether to back out or not. I hope I don't though, because i'm sure I will be sorry in the long run. I keep looking at these before op pictures just to give me the encouragement to go for it. These pictures actually make me feel sick, so I really hope I have the courage to go through with it. I am going on vacation on Tuesday and don't come home until the day of my surgery so fingers crossed my time away in the sun (in my bikini) will be enough encouragement I need. I'll up tomorrow after my pre op consult.

well i just got back from getting my bloodwork done and now it seems VERY real indeed. I've just paid a whole lot of money out and nearly cried lol. Hopefully it will be worth it though. 9 more days and it will be here. I won't get chance to get on here before my surgery now so I will be back after I've had it done, hopefully with good news and good pics to go with it.

Hope you have a really good holiday, get a bit of sun on your tummy because you won't be able to when you come back for a while!! So glad you put up your pre op pics, your tummy is not too dissimilar to mine, although it looks less dimply lol!! I wish you all the best with the op and hope you're not in too much pain afterwards, want you back on here asap so i can compare stories with someone from the uk!!! Good luck

hi ladies, well it's 2am here in the UK and I've just got home from my holiday. I'm due to be at the clinic at 11am for surgery at 1pm. Crikes I'm really doing this, I won't believe it until it's over with though. Thank you all for your kind words and I promise I will get post op pics up as soon as I'm able to get them done. I just hope I come out of surgery "alive" but I'm sure everybody thinks the same thing. Well here goes, I'm sure I'm going to be counting the hours down as I can't see me getting much sleep tonight. See you all soon when I've got my flat new tummy
