I want to thank you for sharing your story. I am scheduled for my tt on July 12... yikes.. in 3 days. I am soo scared but I want this soo bad. We have very similar stories ... I am a runner also. I am 36 and ran my first 1/2 marathon in Disney January 2010. I had 2 c-sections and did not gain much weight but my children were huge. I am very muscular but my belly has turned into an ugly flap. Your pic is similar to mine - pre-op. I also had cervical spine fusion in c4 & 5 Feb 2009.
I am back to running and working out but what a pain to have my pants fall down because my belly is jiggling. I have to run with a girdle... uuuughhhh. I can feel the bounce. I know I will have great results and recovery but I am soo scared. I just want to get it over it with. Its good to hear you are doing awesome. You look great!
You have described exactly what I have been feeling and thinking. I am 36 and had 2 c-sections. I am so scared and worried about if I am being selfish. I have my tt on 7/12 and keep having anxiety. I finally told my closest friends. I am very sure I want this and I did not want anyone to try to scare me and change my mind. They are now supportive. I also have been obsessed for the past 5 years and it has ultimately taken over. I am not happy with me... my husband loves me unconditionally but I am soo self consious of my belly. I have been reading on this site for the past 2 weeks. I feel soo much better and confident. I am still SCARED TO DEATH. I am glad I am not the only one.
Hi Allison, did you ever get it done? I am from PSL too. I found Dr Darrell Lee.. he took a cyst out on my sons cheek and he was so nice... he has done lots of tummy tucks and I feel comfortable with him. I am scared but obsessed...I have this stupid flap for the last 5 years since I had my youngest child. I cant stand it anymore...
Please let me know what you have done... thx
