I am 31 and have had two 10 Lbs babies. I gained 70 lbs with my first nearly 7 years ago and had only lost about 30 lbs after. I only gained 25 lbs with my 18 month old, which I lost as well as an additional 25 lbs.I found myself with a lot of loose skin and could not get rid of my "love handles". I was ready for a change and I am happy I was able to achieve this. *photos to come

Just wondering if you had any pics yet? Dr. Rex did my breast augmentation and I want to get a tummy tuck. He did a good job. Just curious to see more pics.

Hi,
I can email you pics. I am still healing as of right now. It takes a several weeks for the swelling to subside because I had lip and a Tummy tuck.It has been about 7 weeks and you can barley see my scar, he did an outstanding job.

Its been 7 weeks since my surgery and I am recovering very well. I still have some swelling which is normal for patients who had a TT and lipo. My incision looks fantastic and most people cannot believe it has been less than two months.
I was able to return to normal activities (which for me involved chasing my 18 month old) at 2 weeks post op. I was able to drive at this time as well.
Overall the I am very pleased with the results and thrilled that I had no bruising despite the lipo.

I'm posting a pic from a few days post op, and one I just took. Both are from my iphone so the quality is not the greatest. I am a FT student with 2 kids and am just very busy. I will try to get better pictures soon.
