WORTH IT$8,000
I have had two children and my first was 10 pounds. I had a very tiny frame at the time and it caused a lot of stretching to my skin. I have the classic mommy belly and after diet and exercise could not get my stomach back to where I wanted it. My stomach really bothers me a lot. I cant find clothes to fit properly and after wanting this for 12 years I'm finally doing it.
Currently I am 5 3".5 and I weigh about 145 which is 20 pounds more than I would like to be. I am scheduled to have my procedure on June 15th. I am very excited. I'll keep you posted on how things go.

I'm finally adding my pre-op pictures. I am getting really excited since my surgery is only a week away. I'm excited to see the results afterwards. I still need to get a few things for the house and some comfy clothes to wear home after sugery. I'm dreading my 5 hour drive home after surgery. Gonna bring a big bucket with a cover in case I'm sick. Also I'm wondering how I'll use the bathroom on that long a drive. Should be interesting. Any advice? Would love tips if anyone has any. :-)

I also meant to say that I'm 36 and a half now and my kids are 11 and 13 so I've really wanted to have this done for a long time. I have found it helpful to know a persons age and height, weight before surgery so when I see results I can compare what my results might be like so thats why I wanted to include this. I have found this forum SO helpful going through this. People have been very encouraging because I have a lot of guilt and feel selfish doing this for myself to a degree. IT's been nice to see I'm not alone in a lot of my feelings. :-)

Hey Ashleyyy,
Thanks a lot for writing me. I'm excited to share with you after we have our surgery!! :-) Our bellies look similar now, your not as big as me but it will be so cool to see how we both look afterwards. All the BEST to you. I have the 5 hour drive home too so I am anxious to hear how your 3 hour trip goes. Bring a bucket for the drive home!! Oh what are you doing as far as if you have to go to the bathroom on the way home? Are you just going to try to stop somewhere or what? I was thinking about that and how that will be hard to do. Love any tips you might have thought of. Also what are you wearing after your surgery for the way home?

Thats exciting your surgery is the end of Aug. I am going to Dr Richard Bender Samuel. He was very nice to talk with and really seems to know what he's doing. I've had a good experience so far. Who is your surgeon?
Less than two weeks to go! Good for you for doing this after 12 years of wanting it. Ten pounds is a big babe and I don't blame you at all for wanting to repair the damage (my babies were close to ten pounds as well.) Please keep us posted on how you're feeling as the big day nears!
