I expect to have a hernia repaired, look better in figure skating dresses, and maybe get a little stronger. Of course, I am nervous of the unknown. But, I have not time to be nervous. I am skating in a figure skating show with an expected large audience in the thousands in late August (to benefit cancer) (If you want to sponsor this skating show, it would be much appreciated, PM me.) Then on Labor Day, I am competing in a USFSA event. I also have 2 kids, and work. With Real Self, I have learned so much, so quickly, and with so many helpful hints. This site is an invaluable timesaver.

I added some pictures. I don't look terrible. I am happy, until I wear a pair of pants or bend over. Then, it hangs like a sail.

You look great and I'm sure you are very fit from all of your skating. My TT, MR is Sept 14 and I look forward to reading your posts and healing journey...we can go through this together. I am happy with my size, weight etc except not with my belly which has always been flabby. Especially after 3 big babies and the resulting hernia. Like you, my worst view is bending over and letting it all hang down :(((
Good luck!

Here I am, before the big skate.

While I thought Dr. Faramand is a great lady and surgeon, I switched to Dr. Kim because of co-insurance requirements. I am excited about Dr. Kim. He has a very gentle demeanor and his pictures of tummy tucks look great. He's board certified, and smart. I think I am in very capable hands.
