WORTH IT$6,500
I am a mum of 4 beautiful boys aged 20, 18 and 11 month old twins. I am done with my family and looking forward to getting my pre baby body back!I would have this done tomorrow but I have to wait for my husbands parents to arrive from Italy so they can take over the twins.
I have been looking at this site for a while and think it is a wonderful source of information and support. I have my pre op next week and reading all of your stories it seems a little soon before my surgery..... Will post before pics and when I am able will post after pics too. Good luck to everyone who is about to go through this life changing experience and I look forward to sharing mine.

Welcome to the Tummy Tuckers! You are going to look beautiful after the surgery and love the results.
I am very glad to hear you have help for the babies. You will need to rest and take care of yourself for a while. How long will they stay to help?

Nonna and Nonno will be here for 4 and a half weeks and we will get help in if needed when they leave as my husband travels every week for work.

So, I went for my pre op today and asked my PS all my questions and was happy except for one thing..... He said he was conservative at pulling too much on the skin. He said that if pulled too much the scar may end up stretching width ways. So now I am thinking do I ask him to stretch my skin as far as it will go and get rid of as many stretch marks as possible (reason why I am putting myself through this) or do I go with what he is saying and possibly end up with a better looking scar but more stretch marks..... I feel I could live with a slightly wider scar and less stretch marks. I have had cosmetic surgery before and scar very well to the point you cannot see the scars.I just do not want to be disappointed with the end result and wish I hadnt put myself and family through it.I would appreciate any advice/comments you have as I am confused and not sure what to do at this point.

Hello twinmummy!
I'm scheduled for the 22nd -right behind you. How exciting that you went for your pre op already. I'm not in any position to give you any advice but maybe you can sit down with him again and explain what your expectations are and the reasons why you're moving forward with this procedure, after all, this is a huge undertaking and costly at that.

Hi BellaBelly! your the day after me! I sent him an email when I got home explaining the main reason why I want to go ahead with the surgery. He replied very fast reassuring me he will do his best to remove as many as possible. He was happy I had been honest and told him this. Not sure why I didnt voice my concerns while I was there..... I think you are right, I need to go see him again as I am on the fence about doing it now. I am such a perfectionist and I have been dreaming about this for so long I know I will be a nightmare if it doesnt turn out how I have been dreaming about. How are you feeling about your surgery?

Just been to pay for my surgery, just another 10 days and my squidgy tummy will be gone forever! Also saw my PS again today, he is so kind and patient. He always seems to have all the time in the world for me and answers all my questions. I came away today feeling very confident that I am going to be very happy with the results!
Only a little more than a month to go! You're going to rock this and look great after. Remember to rest, rest, rest in the weeks after surgery. And please keep us posted on how you're feeling.
