I have dreamt of having a tummy tuck since having my children (12 and 14). I'm 38 years old now and cannot believe I have finally done it! I never thought I'd see my pre pregnancy flat(ish!) belly again. No more big pants to tuck my apron into, no more smelly, sore skin infections underneath. I am so happy!! Updated on 23 Apr 2016: Went back on Thursday to have some fluid drained off (250ml!) and I feel so much better for it. No more sloshing about. Woke up Friday morning

Had my first consultation and will be going back soon to have a meet up with former patients. Initially wanted just lipo but PS advised that I need to remove excess skin from previous weightloss. Thought I'd start this review already to track my progress from the start! Had an initial shock at finding out it was going to be a more invasive procedure, but I've come to terms with it and I'm ready for the change! Updated on 11 Dec 2014: My surgery is scheduled for this Monday.
