I am a couple of months away and I am nervous, anxious, and excited all in one! I haven't found anyone who has the exact "before" body as me. I am 5'2" and have had this hanging belly since 1989, right after my oldest son was born. I have exercised and dieted and have been successful with losing weight as well as inches. However, my stomach never goes away. I have alway been very curvy and I love my curves, but I hate my stomach. =(

I am starting Chalene Extreme on Tuesday! I would love to get toned and lose some weight before my proceedure. I would like to lose 20-30 lbs before my surgery date. I am so excited to have this proceedure done! I have had this hanging belly since I was 17yrs old and I just want it gone! I get embarrassed when I start to run because I can feel and hear my stomache smack against my body and it is really depressing. I am 182lbs right now. I would love to be right around 160lbs. I know that sounds like a bit much for my height, but it works for me. I have very muscular legs and a naturally large bottom and chest. Like I said before, I love my curves and I am very confident... With my clothes on! I want to look good naked! =)

I had the same body shape as you... Just Had my tt and bl three weeks ago. After three boys and at age 39 I just could not loose the stomach. I am still swollen in lower stomach so not sure what my results will be. Good Luck!

I have not had the guts to take picture yet... I have open wounds under breast so been trying to heal those first. This has been a mission for me.. Skin burns from tape, garment size issues... Breast looking odd... And now open wounds.... And it is only three weeks. I just started my binder on 2/3 week so have few more weeks to go.

Well I hope you heal quickly! I had to post pictures because I feel that others will see me and my soon to be recovery and results and learn from it... Don't be worried, we are not here to judge. Only to gain knowledge from experience. I am sure you are not alone! =)
