I didn't want to be fat and forty! So, I was tired of the extra weight and decided to do something about it. It took me over a year to loose 48 pounds, but I did it! I breast fed all 3 kids for almost 2 years a piece, and they needed a make over too. I had abdominalplasty (tummy tuck) and augmentation. The tummy tuck was extremely painful, hardly noticed the augmentation. Best results ever! I would do it again tomorrow. Recovery is slow with the tummy tuck, surprised how much it hurt. Worse than c section, but so thankful I did it. I LOVE Dr Ennis and his staff. They were amazing from the moment I stepped foot in the office. Dr Ennis makes you feel like you are the most important person ever and wants the best for you. I totally trusted him to help me transform my body. Which he has, I feel like a new woman. You feel like you have known him for years. He has a God given talent and I respect him more than ever. I highly recommend him and his wonderful nurses. If you live far, I suggest you staying overnight close to office so you can come the next morning for your appointment (only for tummy tuck). I worried about everything you can think of, and I am grateful I did it. My augmentation looks amazing and my tummy is flat. I wore a bikini for the first time in 15 years!!!

Hooray for wearing a bikini! Thank you so much for sharing your experience on RealSelf! Were there any supplies that particularly helped you as you healed?

Once I was allowed to use the scar silicone gel sheeting...(newgel+), I did. And I intermittantly used a scar gel called (Dermatix ultra). I bought them from my surgeons office. About $50 for each. I think they have helped make the scar look better. It was an extremely painful surgery but the doctor did such an amazing job, I would do it again. My stomach is flat and I have my confidence back. I never wanted my husband to look at it, much less touch it! So, this surgery has given me back my confidence. Good luck to you! I'd tell anybody to go do it... Worth every penny.

Can you post before pictures, and how much did you weigh at time of surgery.

I weighed 138 the day of surgery... I was 183 when I got on the scale and decided I wasn't going to be fat anymore. It took almost 2 years... Because I did it slow to ensure it was going to stay off. I eat 1/2 of what I used to, and cut out my favorite drink...( chick fil a sweet tea!). My weight was killing me on the inside. I was miserable. I'm a new person now. I love it. I'll try to post a pic soon. ( not sure how.. I'll look into it) Best of luck to you!!
