39 Years Old, Two Boys and in Need of a Much Needed Tummy Tuck!!! - Bronx, NY

Hi!! I expect great results with the main objective of having my tummy tuck surgery to run smoothly. I am very optimistic. I've prayed about this over this past year and now is the time since we don't plan on having anymore children. So I'm on my way of reaching the goal of having a flat tummy! God bless you all!

I failed to mention before, I am at 5'6 and weigh about 152 lbs. I am actually wanting to lose a few more pounds not much however but definitely under 150 lbs. I also forgot to mention how big my belly was when I was pregnant from both my boys. I have massive stretch marks and sagging skin. Honestly, I can't squat in a public bathroom but instead, I have to put lots of tissue around the toilet seat because of one incident that made me feel horrible! I squated over a toilet and had to use the bathroom really bad, my lower belly skin hangs over my pubic bone so [RS bleep] got everywhere. Down my legs on my jeans and on my shoes. I felt horrible afterwards and that was when I decided to research for a tummy tuck. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm on my way but am relieved that my insurance is paying for it.

Spoke today with Dr. Garfein's secretary and got a pre-op appointment for December 17th. I've also made an appt. with Dr. Camacho for the hernia repair in which I need to fill out consent forms. I realize I have a three months to wait but I am still very excited and scared!!! No more peeing down my legs when I have to squat because of lose belly skin! Ugh.
