I've been asking questions and following people's experiences on here. Its so comforting to see other ladies going through similar things and to not feel so alone.

Im 18 years old i had my daughter very young at 16 . Im struggling with the changes in my body at such a young age, i was shocked when i gained 90 pounds and lost it all but unlike the rest of these young girls my body stayed stretched out and full of stretch marks! They say young skin is more elastic and the body adapts better, but im living proof that is nonsense.

So ive decided to get a Tummy tuck & Saline Breast implants. Ive gone to consultations and researched alot and im done dreading my body im so young and life is to short to hate your body! I get so discouraged when i see people my age wearing bikinis and cropped shirts. Ive lost all confidence i had and cant seem to cope with the "Mommy tummy". My breast were 34DD's before i got pregnant and are now a sad pathetic floppy C that has no breast tissue !

I worked out did Zumba right after my pregnancy and lost all the weight in about 5 months. Ive tried Insanity, Running a mile every morning, and working out at the gym. NOTHING WORKS.

I went from 145 to 220 . and my daughter was only 7pounds 9 ounces !

I will update when i get things set in writing and have a procedure date. Ill be posting pics to if anyone's interested in seeing my progress throughout being a mother.

I know exactly how u feel. I was super young and I hated my body and had no confidence however I waited until I was 27, because before than, I wasn't sure If I was done having babies. But I'm sure now that I don't , that's why i went through with it . I'm still in the healing process so it still hasn't sunk in yet. I still have my "old body" mentality lol . But I'm sure once I'm healed ill feel much better about myself. Best on luck , can't wait to see ur journey :)

Glad i found someone who has a similar experience like me ! I thought about waiting, but i figure i refuse to have anymore kinds until im married and 30! So i figure even if i do end up having more in the future i wont be dreading my body while im still young, thats 13 years from now ! and thanks ! :)

Good luck on your search. I'm in MN as well and my surgery is scheduled in Jan if you have any questions or would like to follow my journey. I had my first when I was 18 and cannot wait to finally get my body back after 12 years. Congrats on your decision.

Girl you and I share a similar story. I almost thought I was reading my own story. Anyhow, I was 21 when I had my daughter. I went from 148 to 219 right before her birth. Over the course of time I have lost the weight doing tae boo lol and trying different diets. I am currently 155 and trying to get down to at least 150. i am not interested in being skinny mini as i am from the south, Houston to be exact. Anyhow my daughter was born 7 pounds nine ounces and my stomach and breasts look just like yours. Well I am currently recovering from surgery. I had a circular tummy tuck, lipo, and fat grafting to the butt and hips. I am 7 day PO. My plastic surgeon was Dra. Cardenas. She is wonderful. I am glad I made the decision to get my sx with her, not a regret in my mind. My sx cost $5800. Hopefully in the month of June 2013, I can complete my body with a breast lift by Dr. Pantoja for no more than $3000. Good luck!!!
