Hello Everyone!
What a great place to learn everything there is to know about Tummy Tucks!! I am 42 and had 2 C-sections from which I never quite recovered. This TT is a gift from my hubby for giving him 2 adorable babies (some husbands buy their wives gold jewelry after delivery - well, that's nice, but I'm a practical girl) :-)


I am still very early in the process, still sorting through PS in my area, still trying to lose more weight, and still having 'fits' of excitement at the thought of having my small waist back!! My appointment with a second PS will be on Oct.11. Excited!!!! I will post 'before' pictures of the 'monster' that has been following me around for a few years now. Wishing everybody smooth surgeries and speedy recoveries!!

Hi Delaware New Jersey, I am from PA, not to far from you. I agree with the whole jewlery concept, who needs it when you could have a blast of confidence from a tummy tuck. My surgery is in November, and I have chosen Dr. Charles Herman. Looking forward to your pics, It's tough at first putting them up, but what the hell, lol

@nannt938 - Dr. Herman isn't active on RealSelf, so if comfortable, please let him know that thousands of his colleagues are engaged, helping people get answers to their questions. --Tom

40 more days to go!! It doesn't seem real. I have so much to do before the surgery. I'm going through a mixture of emotions - from excitement to anxiety to "I can't think about that right now." The 'before' pictures were painful to see/post, but I felt I owed it to you lovely ladies who posted yours. I will write more as the time approaches. Health!

We are very similar in body type, so I am excited to see how your results turn out. I am going first, so I guess I am the guinea pig :) I will definately post pics ASAP!

I am that shape too and go for my first appointment on March 25th. "Flat" thick stomach and the glorious hang down. I will be watching you both as I won't be doing mine until around June. Good luck to both of you!
