Hi,
Not been on for a while but I wanted to let you now I had my tummy tuck last week. Very pleased with the results although still swollen and bruised. I so happy I have no saggy skin and it was so worth the pain!!!!
Suzed keep trying!! I hope you have some luck. X
An update on my sitiuation. After another infection under my fold (happens quite regular not matter how careful i am!!) I finally plucked up the courage to see my GP who was very sympathetic and is writing a referall to my local nhs trust. He did say that it is a long shot but its worth a try!!!
Hope to hear back before xmas.
Hi,
Im in a very similar situation to you, I too have had 3 c sections (my first baby weighing in at 11lb 2oz), and have been left with overhanging skin which has no feeling in it!! After my first was born my health visitor seemed to think I would be a good candidate for a tummy tuck, Im in the process of exercising and trying to get to my ideal weight as i put on a couple of stone in pregnancy then I will approach my gp.
Im 24 and dont think I could live happily for the rest of my life not being comfortable in my own skin!
Saying that during my 3 section my consultant actually cut off a lot of the overhang, as their was a lot of it, but I have still been left with an overhang and cut stomach muscle which cause a lot of discomfort in my back.
I dont see it being a major issue as long as your local primary care trust are willing to fund it. Im going to go along the lines of " It affects my confidence, I would rather not go out than wear clothes that are frumpy and make look about 10years older!" and hope that gets me somewhere!
Will let you know how I get on!
Leanne
