WORTH IT$7,000
I'm still in the "shopping" stage...not for the best price but for who I feel the most confident with. I'm still researching if it's better to have a general surgeon fix my hernia or if the plastic surgeon (yes board certified) can do it all. So far I paid for one consult, have two more this week.

Hi mom of3.....Thanks yes it is annoying and also depressing to exercise and eat right and still look pregnant all the time. Are you going to get yours fixed?

Ok I will! And yes it's so scary even though we've both had csections....but that's why I love this site and reading all the stories of other people who've gone through it.

After going to FOUR consultations, two of which I paid $100, I have made my decision on which Dr and it's scheduled for March 13th! (The day before my birthday :) I didn't go with the least expensive by any means, but rather a Dr I feel 100% confident will do good work. I can't wait!
