“My Husband Made my Dream Come True! - Ephrata, WA”

Ive had 4 kids all C-section. I am a very active person, I jazzersize, go for walks, work out to dvd's. I have done this my whole life and never could I feel good in my own skin. I come from a background of a very stocky, athletic build. I had two choices in life, either be chunky or very muscular. Of course I wanted to be tall and slender lol. I had like most of you hanging dead skin that would never go away no matter what. I finally met the love of my life, yep it took till I was 43. He knows how important it is to me to feel sexy and happy about who I am mentally and physically. He promised me last year that I could get a tummy tuck this year. He was by my side the whole time.

I was so afraid, of course you always fear the worst sometimes, but I made it thru and it was not comfortable for a couple weeks, but I was so excited to see what was going to become of my tummy. I got antsy of course and started very carefully working out. I started off by walking then doing lunges and other excercizes with my legs, and noe at 5 weeks Im working out 30 min a day to dvd's. Im still swollen on those darn muffin tops and my lower tummy but i'm trying to be patient. (not easy for me) :) But all and all im happy with the progress and am looking very forward to the following weeks to come.

Thank you to my husband for making this happen for me. I love you

I forgot to add for that 12,000.00 I also got a breast lift and lipo on the flanks. Today im going to attempt going back to jazzersize today. I'm going to take it slow but I'm excited. I will be taking pictures soon to post. I know I didnt put many pictures of my scar as it progressed but I will show you soon at 6 weeks. It does get better in time, just have to be patient :)

7 weeks today, feeling alittle bummed tho, because I feel I look the same as I did last week, no progress and Ive been working out. I know I have to be patient for this swelling especially in those muffin tops. So cant give up now,I'll keep on trucking and moving forward.

Well I made it to my 2 month mark!! I'm still somewhat swollen and numb from the lower tummy but feeling much better every week. It's frustrating tho not to fit into some of my pants yet, from reading several posts. I realize that it's ok, see I was in a size 4 pants to begin with but with that overlapping of skin. I was very active daily and with the surgery you go weeks without excersize, so I believe your hips and legs tend to expand out. I am now getting back to be very active so I'm hoping for some great results by month 3!! I know every body heals different so I will still be patient. Over all I'm still very pleased and I know in a few more weeks of excersizing and determination I will be in a happy spot!! Hang in there ladies because this is a very long journey to be on but in the end we will have very big smiles :D I will post my 2 months pictures this week end.
