work hard, eat clean pre-pregnancy my abdomen was this size. boot camp, hired personnel trainers, pilates(which was great) however as you can see in the pictures my abdomen is still in a world of its own. I've seen 5/6 surgeons, one misdiagnosed me telling me smart lipo will help, only two years later I was toldby the same surgeon and five others that only a tummy tuck will fix this issue. There are women who are similar some worse who've gotten lipo, or skin removal. Why can't I get skin removal?
