Had Tuck and Some Lipo May 16th and Still Blue - New York

make sure you have discussed everything and u and doc r on same page - sometimes doc is not completely honest about their technique and what the limits r etc

please do not do a tummy tuck to loose weight or you will be really disappointed. teh doctor cannot make you a perfect tummy no matter what they promise. Loose the weight first - get to your ideal weight heathfully and with exercise and THEN consider having the surgery only if you really want it.

as long as you are prepared and also not looking for perfection (because it won't be perfect) then go for it. I think you have to be really emotionally prepared because it's harder than you think and when it heals there will be some things you don't like and you may even miss some things about your old tummy. It is a BIG change and a lot to go through. You may not like to hear this, but I belive in being fully honest. I am ok now, but I was really down after and it was all a big shock. Go in with the right attitude and ready for it all.

issue too is that the hood makes me look like have an innie and i had a tenny tiny flat bb before kids so it is really different to me??

yes i will - hard to tell from picture, but i have incredible muscle tone now - all of my muscles show liek a 6 pack and my scar looks invisible - i do have a small purple indent up top derm said should fade over time - i think bb is from where he pulled down because I wouldn't let him lower it and I didn't have much skin at bottom after 3 c-sections - it is just a bit weird because he made a big hood over top i guess since i wouldn't let him lower it - just not sure messing with it would be better - still don't want it lower, but with little skin at bottom it does pull
