I have diverticulosis. In 2003 an access ruptured and I was in the hospital for ten days. I went from 300 pounds to 178 pounds. Today I still have intestinal swelling but I have it under major control. Anyway with all this weight loss, I've wanted to have a tummy tuck in my lower abdomen area.

I do Ab coaster and run five miles a day three days a week.
