Expectation is to work out and not have a i have 4 kids. My twins are now 8 and are my youngest. They were both over 6 lbs. Ive also had 2 c sections. Since the twins pregnancy, im unable to lose the skin and bulge in my stomach area. The bulge goes away if i fast for 2 days, but the kangaroo pouch remains. Most of my problem area is below the belly...muscles and all so i opted for mini only. Hoping i am satisfied!

Did you get a mini tt you really look great !!! Did you have muscle repaired just below the belly button, my dr says I don't have enough skin for a full tt , I also had twins and a baby after now twins are 9 and baby is 11months , but I feel I need to maybe wait a little baby is really close to me :( and this procedure looks painful , .....can you tell me what happens to your belly button did the dr made a new one , mine says with a mini tt he doesn't.

You got it...I had the mini with muscle repair below belly button only. So my belly button is the same, in a full they cut up to the belly button and remove it then replace it...I didn't have that done and I questioned if there would even be enough skin on my to do so...my Dr said there would be but in the end he said I would also be happy with a mini tuck...half the cost, great result! If your problem area is below belly only, a mini is great...I had a little muscle damage above the belly, but not enough to warrant an additional 3k...and it doesn't bother me too bad. I'm just happy to get rid of all that excess twin skin kanga pooch!!

These are 2 days before my mini tummy tuck, I really wanted people to be able to compare themselves to me...I really hemmed and hawed over whether to do a full or a mini....my torso is so long I didn't think I'd have enough skin above my belly to pull down to pubic bone. My doctor said I'd be happy with the mini since my "deformity" was all below belly. I am 5" 8 and 160 pounds. I'm about 7 pounds overweight for me right now. Surgery anticipation has caused me to gain weight I've maintained for 5 years! My twin pregnancy I was 220 pounds!! All baby...twins both over 6 lbs

I'll keep posting pics if it helps. I wish they would have removed excess skin during the c-section but no such luck. My twins are now 8 1/2 y/o and I can tell you the skin flab only gets worse with time. I lost all my weight but it was just this hanging roll that would never go away. Well worth 3g...so far

Day of treatment
Smooth sailing surgery

Day 1, surgery was about 730 am today and we left hospital about 2:00 pm. The worst thing so far was the drugs they gave me that had me feeling nautious and dizzy. I have a pain box connected to my body, a tube that goes in delivering pain med...another tube that comes out for draining blood and such (gross!) Binders on and some machine squeezing my legs. I came out of surgery loopy and asking the nurses if they loved Jesus :) This is great, I feel great...walked around a little bit. Speed bumps leaving hospital weren't fun, lol. Not too swollen yet
This will do the trick and flatten that tummy out. Two more days so please update us quickly on how everything goes.
