I've lost 60 pounds since I had the last baby but I can't get rid of the bulge. Scheduled a consult with Dr. Aldea and can't wait!

I expect a huge difference in my appearance. I've lost over 150 pounds in 2 1/2 years. I need this extra skin off!! I can't remember the last time I had no belly bulging over my jeans.
