Hi Angie, thank you for your comment. It's been a roller coaster of emotions, I contacted one doctor in my area, and the assistant, after a few questions told me to call back when I've lost weight. I mean I understand there must be some guidelines to be followed, but the way she made me feel was horrible. I've been told to get to a BMI of 28 or less for a consultation to another Dr. I do not see this procedure as a weight loss solution, but that flap I have in my tummy is what really bothers me, when I run it hurts, when I try clothes is "there". Because of the answers that I've got around my area I would consider going somewhere else for surgery. I'll keep you posted.

Good luck to you !!! We all here hope that your surgery goes great and of course we'll wait for comments !!

Hi, I can relate to your story, I'm not as tall as you, I am 5'2' I weight about a little less of 200 pounds. I do exercise 3 times a week with a trainer, I do have a lot of muscle mass. That being said, I had 3 kids, and I hate the flap in my lower tummy. I have to get pants about 2 sizes bigger just to fit my tummy. So I am really considering a full tummy tuck and lipo EVERY WHERE the doctor suggest it. (I do have the bra line thing too by the way).
For now I am still waiting to save a few bucks to do it, and of course getting the courage to go through with it.
So you ladies are very inspiring. Good luck with your procedures, I will keep reading your posts and pray that everything turns to be better than you expected.

cheers, R.

why can not be waxed??? if you do it a couple of days before the surgery...

Thank you for all the responses. I had a phone consultation with Dr Schulman, ( I live in Canada)he was very nice and I really appreciate the time he took with me.
That been said, it was the first consultation I had. So I am going to have consultations with plastic surgeons in my area, and see what they have to say.

Thank you again, and I will post my decision when I make one.
