I gained over 80 pounds with my son 30 years ago. Looking in the mirror every morning I realize the extra flabby skin on my tummy is not appealing. I want to do this for me. I am Single however I want to feel really good about my body and if I meet someone I want to be the best I can be in every way shape and form. It's good to know there are many other women who are awesome, beautiful, vibrant, and have endured the challenges of raising children and having children. Let's take our bodies back girls! I admire all of those who have already done this And I hope I can encourage someone else once I have also gone through it .

I am so glad that you posted! I am 59 and having TT and lipo in conjunction with a hysterectomy on Oct 31! I have wondered if I am too old for this. But, like you I want to do this for myself. I have had 3 children so you can imagine the excess skin around my tummy. Maybe I will get up the courage to post some photos here. Just know that there is someone in Mississippi that will going on this same journey with you. Good luck.

We are not to old:) we are getting better!! Surround ourselves with positive people. I have only shared with three best friends who support me 100%. I believe that is necessary during recovery. I have to keep focusing on a positive, beautiful result. We can do this!!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with this community. I hope you get all the feedback and support you need here. It sounds like you've already found some buddies. Good for you!

Good for you! I agree totally! I'm 63 and I'm doing a little "maintenance " on myself too. I'm having a facelift on October 16th. And sometime late January or early February 2017 I'm having a breast lift. I hope to have a tummy tuck next October 2017. Then I'm done! I wish you a speedy recovery and fantastic results.

It helped me to post photos. It reinforces my decision to do this, encourage others and trusting that our results will be validation that it was worth it:-)

Glad I found this site. For those who have already gone thru their procedures, thank you for posting and helping those who have not had their surgery stay encouraged.
I still feel positive and looking forward to my surgery. Perhaps not so much the actual surgery, :) - but focusing on the hopeful positive results.

This is the week. The person who was supposed to take me on surgery day as well as the following day has backed out. I don't know as of today, Oct. 23, 2016, who can take me.
Staying focused on recovery, good result.
I enjoyed this beautiful day on Lake Erie and a scenic drive to look at fall foliage.
Praying for the procedure and all involved to be alert, rested with steady hands.
I am happy for those who have gone thru this to encourage those who are about to.

Thank you for checking in… It is midnight and I will be leaving in five hours to go to the surgery center in Cleveland. I'm very calm, not focusing on this surgery itself, but taking care of myself during the recovery and anticipating a great result. Yes, I was able to find a local woman to go with me the first day. I still do not have anyone to be with me the day after however. Will try my best to keep with updates

Good afternoon coolgranny… You do seem like a cool granny! well it is 2:30. after a three hour surgery I feel pretty good. My ride is in the store getting the necessary prescriptions. Everything seemed to go very smooth at the surgery center. I'm draining a lot. Thankful this part of it is over. I have my compression garment on till next Wednesday which is my first follow-up appointment. Probably going to sleep a little bit when I get back home. I appreciate your thought, comments, and prayers.
