I am a 40 year old mother of 2 children both born by c-section. I am going to Dr. Vath for a tummy tuck and breast lift/reduction. I am currently at 190 lbs. I have lost 65 lbs over the past year. I am hoping to drop another 10 lbs before my surgery, but will not be upset if I do not get there. I have full confidence and faith in Dr. Vath and feel he would not operate or consider me if I was not right for surgery. I have seen his other results and they are amazing so I am sure that I am in the best of hands.

So I've been stalking this site and now scheduled tummy tuck and lipo for the 5th of Nov also. I am a little heavier than you but very similar look. I'm excited to finally get rid of this inner tube I have had around my waist what seems like my whole life. I'm excited for you too! I'm sure like most people on here you look to compare yourself to those similar to you and what you could look like afterwards. Good luck to you!!! I haven't posted my before pictures yet either but maybe will now;)

Ha! Inner tube! !! LOL! Love that description! Perfect description of it too. I have stalked this site for the past year doing the same thing and it is so helpful & encouraging. I thank you for your excitement & post. Posting pictures is the hardest part, but since I was so thankful for other's courage I had to return the favor.
Best wishes on your procedure and journey! :)

Had my surgery today & I can't express how amazing Dr. Vath is! Today's experience was so great, minus the pain of course. The surgery center is beautiful, the staff are all genuinely caring and wonderful. Can't express my gratitude and appreciation for everyhing. I couldn't recommend any other surgeon/staff for this procedure more than Dr. Vath and his team.
So far I think the exparel has really saved me from a lot of the pain and very grateful I decided to get it.
So thankful to be on the flat side!
Feeling better than the pain !! :)
I will add more photos later.
