I have experience ups and downs with my weight n my stomach has suffered the most. So I've finally made the decision that it is time to get a full TT with Lipo of the upper/Lower, hips, flanks, & mons publis. My current weight is 210 lbs @ 5'6. Would love to lose at least 20 - 25lbs before surgery. Am I wrong for wanting to see my *playground* while standing and or sitting. Nope don't think so!!!! It's mine and I want to see it now! !!

Chile', I show hope so. It's about time. Trust if they didn't have to cut this tummy off I would have been given it away. Lol
May 20, 2014
Hey Hunni we in the same area almost. Our surgeries are a few weeks apart. I definitely wish u the best. U are absolutely right about seeing your own playground. Even if my belly doesn't turn out super flat, I at least want to see that
May 20, 2014
Lol, that one of the best things to come out of having a flat stomach. Besides, being able to sit in a chair, sofa, floor whatever n have ur stomach sitting on top of ur legs. Then when u get up u have to fix ur panties. *sigh* of relief just knowing it will get better

So nikki101887, or u still considering getting the BBL sometime later?
May 20, 2014
Yes ma'am I plan to get it March of 2014. I haven't found a decent bbl doctor in our state though. Let me know if u find one. I really don't want to go to far
May 20, 2014
Will do

Sigh...just thought I'll needed to write about the emotions I am going through today. I started out great, happy,excited than as the day went on started looking at myself try on clothes to go eat with the family. I finally put on a nice lose dress that hod my stomach great. After leaving home realize I'm just completely uncomfortable in everything I step foot in especially jeans. Finally at 8pm my daughter wanted to watch television and there was a part in the show where the mother expressed to her daughter how healthy it is to love urself and feel sexy and confident inside and outside at any age. N that there made me so emotional that I began to cry because I can't remember the last time I felt comfortable, or confident in my own skin. Than again I was comfortable when I was in my teens than back then I still thought I was to skinny with big breast. ***sigh****. After all that I know what needed to be done, I needed to go to my prayer room n do all that could be done. I talked to my God and asked for the strength, wisdom, courage understanding to learn form every emotion I had and was going through.
Sorry so all over the place, just needed to talk and not be judged. Prayers to all.

About your last post...um we all have insecurity issues. I been on this site for over a year and everyone's first post starts off the same. We all express our dislikes and go on from there. In fact some of the people that are getting tummy tucks are so small that I don't see how any surgeon would agree to even do it. See it's about our perception. I've seen 300lb women that have more confidence than women under 150lbs

True in deed!!!!! Ones perception of self is always mind blowing no matter who the person is. Thank u!!!

Girl we all are here to do something one or another to our bodies. No one here is comfortable I wish you success in your sx and comfort in ylur heart and mostly your mind! I know all to well about fighting the bulge! I have 3 kids been thick all my life. I lost a hundred after my oldest was 5 kept it off for 8 yrs had my sec and gaind 80 back and the lost a hundred again after 3 I only lost 60. It got harder to do after I got older and more kids. So I told hubby know more kids and Im getting a bbl lol. We are all looking to be breath taking and that you will! First it starts with the mind its nothing stronger than that! Good luck hun.
