28 Year Old, Mother of 3, in Desperate Need of a Tummy Tuck - Hanover, MD

ORIGINAL POST

All my life I have always had a tummy on me,...

All my life I have always had a tummy on me, nothing that I couldn't suck in. But after having my 3rd child, and gaining weight from poor eating habits, I found that sucking in my stomach was no longer an option. I tend to wear loose fitting shirts, because I'm embarrassed about my rolls of fat, in the front, on the side, and the back of my mid-section. I have always considered a tummy tuck, but I was very nervous about what my friends and family would say. Finally after looking at myself one in the mirror, I realized that it doesn't matter what anybody thinks, at the end of the day, I am the one who has to be happy with my body, and if that means getting a tummy tuck, well than so be it. I went to several doctors, and when I met Dr. Ashruf I knew that I met the doctor that would be doing my tummy tuck. He was very nice, and he put my mind to ease, and told me not exactly what I wanted to hear, but what I need to hear. He told me that he could provide results that I would benefit from, but It didn't meet my expectations at first. I guess I wanted to be instantly skinny, and that's not what a tummy tuck is for. After seeing more realistic results, I came back down to reality, and decided to go ahead with the procedure. Right now I'm about 7 weeks before the surgery and I'm really nervous. I'm 5'4, 220lbs.
