I thought i was Crazy! - Beverly Hills, CA

I knew that after me 2nd c section, some day I would need to go in for a tummy tuck to get my old belly back. 4 years have passed since then. I exercise , I watch what I eat, I do everything right but this belly won't quit.... I'm 9 days away from my surgery and I am thinking about turning back. Am I crazy? Is the pain and risk worth it? I'm so scared....

I'm hitting the vitamin program hard starting tomorrow. I'm also going to eliminate soda and fried foods from my diet. The doc says 1 week pre op and that starts tomorrow

I am 5'4. 132 pounds. I have been as low as 114 pounds but the only thing that gets skinnier is my face and limbs. They are already very thin. I too have hanging skin that I tuck into my pants. The straw that broke the camels back was when we were on vacation and my husband realized that at 34, I was wearing a bathing suite like "the old ladies". I don't want that anymore. He is a good looking guy and I take VERY good care of myself. I've been working out consistently for the last 4 Years. I stick to > 1200 calories per day.... No juice, fried foods or alcohol. Carbs & red meat are extremely limited. I should not have this belly. My general care physician said that after 2 c-sections, the only way to lose that was through surgery... So there you have it. Cut it off, or deal with it. I don't want to deal with it anymore. But I'm scared and I'm conflicted.
