• Posted to 5 weeks. No regrets on 9 Aug 2012

  Ok, so I totally understand your feelings. I am 5'2 120 pounds and a size 2/ 4. I have had 3 c-sections. All of my clothes fit fine, nobody would ever have known I had extra skin. But, I did and it bothered me...I am very fit- work out all the time. I wanted it gone!! So, i went through with it- like I tell my friends & family that thought I was nuts- I had enough to tuck, lol!! I actually had just enough as my surgeon said...my surgery was 4.5 hours long and I had over 4 inches of separation!!!! My recovery was fine- my husband took one day off (surgery was on a FRiday) and my kids all had school (5,6,8) looking back it was very painful and tough, but at the time- I was strong & didn't think it was that bad. I wasn't prepared for my belly button!! Make sure you ask your surgeon about your bb...and ask him what it will look like after. My scar is low- but I like bikini bottoms that sit really low almost under my hips- I can't wear those anymore- which I knew- but really didn't prepare myself for that. It's tough when you are small- because none of your clothes fit you after and you are so swollen- which I thought I was prepared for lol...my stomach was bigger than it was before I had the surgery for a good 6 weeks, I was wearing very loose clothes...with all that being said I don't regret doing it at all- it's just us small, in shape women need to be very prepared!!! I didn't have any lipo done. I am assuming you aren't either?? Feel free to ask me anyother questions. I had one other fit friend have this done and she agrees with all I have said. Also, working out after is tough- takes a lot of time to get back into what you did before surgery. I started walking right at 2 weeks post op- now I am back to everything- and it's not easy- although I love that when i am doing abs I am rock solid ;)!!
