jlewis84
38 yo female 5’5” 137 pounds. S/p 3 c -sections with back to pregnancies 13 months apart with most recent c section 8/2022. Very active, lift 4 days a week and currently have 8-10lbs to lose to get back down to ideal weight. I absolutely hate the pooch/ shelf. I know no matter how much I exercise and lose weight it will always be there. I don’t want to go through a full tummy tuck, is a mini tuck with lipo an option for my type of scar. currently waiting for appointment with one surgeon. Ty
