As a young teen, I decided to get my belly button pierced. I was very skinny with little stomach fat all, causing the ring to be rejected- three times. I got it pierced three separate total times (typical young and naive teenager). The third time it actually ripped out of my navel in my sleep, but bc the skin thinned so much around it, it just broke off. Insane! Many many years later I developed pain in the navel area and an unsightly belly button that basically was nonexistent.

I was 36 DDD and my back and shoulder was bothering me so much, today is my 4 days and I feel so weird I have to stay home can't do anything at all, on my left breast I feel water inside every-time I move I can hear it, I don't like the feeling I just hope it will go away soon, I feel sad and hopeless Updated on 22 Jun 2014: I put my self together this evening after reading all your good messages and I have my niece taking a few pictures, I want to share it all this with you

I am 68 and recently lost 79lbs which in turn gave me a turkey neck[UGLY one] So after MUCH debate I decided to get it tightened up as it looked like it belonged to a 100yr ol 13 days ago I had a neck and part face lift So far of today I am thrilled I intend to buy a pretty necklace to compliment my neck Updated on 6 Jul 2012: I have all of the stitches out.. feel good today I went shopping.. Now that I am home I have to put the chin strap back on....Going to post yesterday

I've did it, I've schduled my tummy tuckd surgery for Friday, April 6th. I'm so excited. This has been a long time coming and I'm happy I finally made the decsion to go through with it, over the course of four years I have lost a totally of 60 pounds with more to go. The doctor I chose was actually referred to me from another realself blogger (thanks girl), he is very sweet, undertanding and he listens and answers every question that me and my boyfriend had.

My story is like everyone elses. One nearly 8 pound boy followed by another nearly 10 pound boy. If I'm being honest, my belly was always a bit big. It just became super noticeable after the birth of my boys. I had a big umbilical hernia so I decided to have a general and plastic surgeon work on my tummy. Unfortunately, I did not take a before pic. I don't really want to remember what I looked like honestly. It was so depressing to get dressed, or shop. Hoping
