Do I qualify for "belly apron" removal?

October 17, 2014
Asked By:momof2cosprings in Colorado Springs, CO

I have lost 115lbs, I have had 2 children via c-section that were 10lb 3 oz. and 10lb 13oz. My lower abdomen hangs and is heavy and causes pain. It hurts when I am intimate with my husband. Do I qualify to have it removed? I believe that once its removed I will be at my ideal weight
