Finally got my Tummy Tuck! June 1 2011 - Brea, CA
I'm single mom of 3 boys. I had my first when...
I'm single mom of 3 boys. I had my first when I was 19. At that time, I was pretty thin. I weighed no more than 98lbs. Well, to make a long story short, I gained over 50lbs with the first kid. With each pregnancy, I would gain more (gestational diabetes). My highest point was 176lb. Throughout the years, I was able to lose some weight. My weight flactuates. I can lose and gain 20lbs off and on.
I'm a pretty small girl (4'11) and small framed. I have tried everything. Personal training, crash diets, Atkins, Phentermine, Zerona, Mesotherapy. I can't seem to get rid of all this skin. I have alot of skin. I have so much skin, I can use it as a fan and just fan the kids with the flab. j
Well, no more Jelly Belly. I'm excited and scared and anxious. I don't even know how I'm going to sleep. I've been on ReaSelf for over 6hrs already. I'm so addicted to this site.
I promise to post updates with pictures after my tummy tuck.
$7000 - Tummy Tuck w/ Lipo of the flanks and lower back.
I'm so anxious to get this TT done & over...
Well, I also wanted to ask a question. My parents live with me and I cannot tell them about my tummy tuck. If they knew about it, my mom will nag my ear off and my dad would probably freak out. So, now I have to think of an excuse to explain why I will be on bed rest. Any ideas??
I'm know I'm a grown women, but my parents treats everyone like a baby. LOl....

Congrats! You look so good! It's crazy how you lost all that weight on your own. I love how you have detailed updates. Good luck on your thigh lift. You must be excited! Oh, pls keep us updated. Thanks, Jen

All the best with your surgery and recovery!

Did you decide if and when you want the tummy tuck?iDon't rush yourself. This is something I've been wanting for 15 years. I kept putting it off. Even felt guilty for wanting it. Well, this time I want to do something for myself (plus my job requires me to keep in shape). Pls. Keep me posted on your decision. Goodluck and best wishes.
I am looking at December or January. Best time for my work. I will consult with a couple of Dr.'s but will probably go to the PS that did my last Augmentation (saline rupture, replaced with gel). Great Dr. and staff. I need to lose about 20 pounds more to be at ideal weight.
A good explanation for extra bed rest is back injury or "female" surgery.
Sending good thoughts your way on Tuesday!!
