Like so many on here i have used this website for a long time reading so many stories and feel it has been the most resourceful in terms of real life surgery. I am booked in for 3 days time and thought it was only right to share my experience too. I had my first child when I was just 19 and gained about 4 stone, after I was left stretched and saggy. I have a further 2 children a bit later on in life both 9lb and although I didn't put on as much weight my stomach just grew massive. So this is me now, 5ft3 and 170lb, a lot heavier that I would like to be but gave up smoking and took on biscuits and cheese! I am booked in at The Nuffield Hospital with Mr Hurren. I had researched many surgeons and intended to have at least 3 consultations however once I met Jeremy I felt at ease, he examined me whilst talking through what he would suggest I had done, took some pics and drew me sketches of what he has talked about. As you can from the pics, I hold a lot of fat on my tummy area and waist. Mr Hurren has suggested lipo to flanks and upper tummy with the Tummy Tuck to get the best results. So I am now feeling really excited and nervous both for surgery and recovery. I will update as I go along and any tips on anything would be appreciated!

Well I am about 20 mins from surgery and feeling very relaxed and excited. All marked up and ready to go. I did decide last minute to have inner thighs done too...Why not. Looking and these photos just makes me feel what I am doing is such the right thing. Dreading the pain but it will be worth it!
