30 Year Old, 3 Pregnancies and 6 Kids

I had my first kid when I was 20. And then at 25 we had twins. The twin pregnancy really stretched my stomach out, and even with getting the most fit I had ever been (16% body fat, 125lbs, and 5'2) I still had extra skin on my belly. And then at 29 years old, I became a surrogate for some friends. Triplets! I had the triplets in November of 2016. I got back to my normal weight, got super fit again yet still had the extra skin. I ended up getting breast augmentation in march of 2016 thinking that would make me feel better about my stomach but it didn't. Although I loved everything on my body, I still hated my stomach. Finally decided I had to have a tummy tuck even though I was terrified of how painful the recovery would be. I have had two c-sections and the pain was just terrible! I had my tummy tuck January 3rd of 2017 and let me tell you, EASY! Honest to goodness it has been a breeze! I quit taking my pain pills on day three, had my first bowel novenent on day three, and stood up straight on day 10. Had my drains removed day 6. And now I'm almost two weeks post op and feel almost 100% back to normal. I am 100% happy with my results. My surgeon did amazing and transformed me. I have never felt this good in my body and I'm still swollen so I can't imagine how much more I'll love it after the swelling goes away. My word of advice to anyone considering a tummy tuck: do it! You won't regret it. And do not let other women's recovery horror stories influence you. I almost canceled my surgery bc I read so many stories about how awful the recovery was. Mine has been seriously easy! I kid you not. Best decision ever!

I'm 14 days post op today and cannot believe how good I feel. I am recovering really well. And I seriously LOVE my new stomach. I still have some swelling but it's going down more and more each day. I'm so happy with my results. If you're in the Boise area, I highly recommend Dr.Sorensen. He honestly nailed it! I told him I wanted an hourglass shape and he did just that. And I love the belly button he gave me. I've seen some weird ones so I was a little stressed about that, but the one he gave me is absolutely perfect! I feel so sexy and so much more confident. I can't wait til I get the okay to start running and lifting weights again. I can't imagine how much more awesome I'll look in a few months, especially a year from now once it's all healed. Best decision I've made! So worth it.

So tomorrow I will be 20 days post op from my full tummy tuck. I go in for my post op appointment. Saw my surgeon say after surgery, and then week 1. Tomorrow marks 3 weeks. I'm so obsessed with my new stomach. I feel great. Like I've said in my other posts, this was such an easy surgery and recovery. It blows my mind. I just wish I could hit the gym already and take hot baths, but I'll see what he says tomorrow about that. I feel really thin in the mornings, and as the day goes on depending on how active I'm being, my stomach swells quite a bit. But that seems pretty normal. All in all I am 100% happy with my results and I think my surgeon does amazing work.
