I have an umbilical hernia, and lots of loose skin after back to back pregnancies. I feel very guilty about spending all this money on myself. However, my husband is very supportive and understands how self-conscious I am about my "pooch."

You be proud that you are doing this for yourself!  You deserve it and there is nothing wrong with spending money on YOU!   I think it's a darn good investment.

Having your hubby's support will make all the difference in the world.  He will take good care of you and help get you through this.  I could not have done this without my hubby for the first week.  

Soon your day will arrive and you will be waking up with your beautiful new tummy.

xoxoxo!!!1 So if youdont mind me asking is the insurance going to help with this! are you in any discomfort!Have you found dr yet!

I wish...No I'm afraid not. I have awful insurance with a high deductable. Plus, although I have a hernia (my PS can feel it) I'm not having any real problems with it right now. The insurance company won't even consider a repair until it becomes painful. Luckily my PS can take care of the hernia during the TT operation. I have my Doctor and surgery booked for September 26th. I was really nervous at first but funnily enough the closer I get to the big date the less nervous I become!!

Well, here I am 5 days away from surgery and getting really nervous!! If I didn't have a friend flying in from out of town to take care of my kids I think I may have cancelled surgery by now. However, I know if I don't do this now I will never do it. My husband took some "before" pictures to help me keep my resolve, he knows how much I really want this. Sleeping is becoming more and more difficult - I had to take a valium at 3am so I could catch at least a few hours sleep this morning.

I am currently 45 years old 5'4" and 142lbs. I workout 3-4 times a week and eat low-carb but, since having children I can't seem to get my weight to stay below 140. I'm really hoping that this flat tummy (to be) and it's maintenance will give me the boost I need to lose those last 10 lbs!
