I am 34 years old - 3 weeks PO - Minneapolis, MN

Hello! I am 34 years old and like most of you have been thinking about a getting a TT for years. I have one child who is 15 now, she was almost 10lbs when she was born which left me with a billion stretch marks and saggy skin. I have struggled with my weight ever since then, ranging from 150 to 200lbs. The last several years I have been right between 170 & 200. I can tone up and lose weight everywhere except for my belly. I have lost all motivation to try to get into shape cause nothing works! I don't like going out in public as I fear people are looking at my tummy and thinking "OMG, look at that gut..:. So, after many years and many thoughts of cutting off my stomache myself i've finally decided to get it done. I have my first consult on the 24th of this month and hope he eases all my fears of dying on the table, not getting the results I want etc... By the way, this site is SO very helpful, you ladies have made this decision easier on me and also make me not as afraid of the pain factor during recovery. Thanks!
