I am 37 years old, due to undergo sugery on 18th July. The surgeon and hospital are outstanding. I currently weigh, 170 I'm 164cm tall. I plan to loose at least 14 more pounds before surgery. I'm healthy and don't smoke or drink. I have had 2 planned c sections which have left my stomach with lots of excess skin. Please help I'm so frightened of having the operation and need much support. Keep looking at death rates and risk factors. I have two lovely boys aged 8 and 10 and a wonderful husband.
