I've decided to participate in this medium of communication because I would like to share my experience with the tummy tuck process. I am 25 years old. I had my first and only child at the age of 17. Eversince I've dealt with my stomach in a rather negative way. I can honestly say I've never grown to love it or appreciate the sagginess despite a ton of positive self talk. For many years I lingered on the idea of having this procedure done because perhaps I may have more children; but as my son approaches his eight years of age and my stomach is still as saggy as the day I delivered him, I realize it's time to take care of business. Like everone else my fears include recovery, the scar, belly button and the surgery itself. But one of my biggest concerns is the my waist line I would really like to achive a nice small waist. I hope this tummy tuck will help take away the awful appearance of my abdomen and narrow my waist line. Again, I am pretty nervous, yet determined so I would really appreciate support from this community of individuals. I will keep you all posted as we get closer to my surgery date.

Congratulations on your decision I'm sure you'll love your new tummy. Are you having lipo as well? That might help you get a smaller waist.

Thank you... Yes, I am having lipo done on my abdomen, sides and back. The doctor suggested that in order to achieve the smaller waistline, a nice and extensive work of lipo would help.

Thanks for the support. I've been doing a ton of research and I think most of my questions are answered so far. However, the surgery is tomorrow and I am starting to get a little nervous and doubtful. Everyone keeps talking about how difficult of a procedure it is, I just hope all the pain and hasle is worth it. Are you content?
