I have been reading reviews for at least four years now, since the birth of my first child. I am a fairly small girl, 5'2" and 120 pounds. I've had two almost-9 pound babies and they both resulted in c-sections. I gained a lot of weight fast with my first baby, and after that I was never really able to lose the skin and stretch marks. I exercise with a trainer a few times a week, but after doing all the research I could I realized that going through with this procedure is probably the only thing that will ever really give me the improvement I want.

You are going to be so happy with your body after going through the surgery. Did the PS say he is doing muscle repair also? That is an important part of the tummy tuck too, especially if you had some big babies. That will be the hardest part in the recovery, but so worth it. Also, take some pictures to show the difference in before and after. It's amazing sometimes.

I hope so! I don't have a lot of muscle separation, but he is going to repair them anyway. My main problem is the extra skin that isn't snapping back after having big babies. I will take pictures when the surgery gets closer :)

I booked my surgery date yesterday for February 20th (sooooo close)!! I paid and got meds already, so now I just get to sit and be nervous until it actually happens. Any input at this point would be helpful, or if anyone wouldn't mind sharing their experience with Dr. Barnthouse I would greatly appreciate it! :)
