I've been stalking this website for like a year now and finally have some questions. I'm a mom of four and only 24 years old. They were all fairly large (8+ lbs) and unfortunately I ate like a hog during my pregnancies. Now I'm stuck with these horrible stretch marks that go from above my belly button to my pubis. I had pretty bad loose skin but lately it's tightened up enough that it's only really bad if i bend over. I've looked through a bunch of the before and after pics on here and I can't help but think "OMG she didn't even look bad before!" I don't want my loose skin but the scar doesn't really seem like a good trade-off to me. I mean, if I get a tummy tuck then, yeah, I can wear a bikini and no one will have to see my loose skin. But my husband will still have to see the scar and he's really the person I care about. What I want to know is how you decided that the scar was better than the tummy?
