I'm a 33 year old mother of one...she's 14. I mourn my pre pregnant body soooo much. I felt like nobody really understood my misery until I found "realself". I finally talked my husband into agreeing to this tt. He claims I don't need it and that he loves my "jelly belly". Well I don't believe him because I can't even stand to look at myself naked. I refuse to have sex with the lights on and on the off chance that we do end up doing it during the day, I get so disgusted that I put a stop to it. I absolutely hate shopping for myself. I don;t own a pair of sexy underware, what's the point right. I never look forward to summer cause all of my friends and sisters wear their bikinis and i'm stuck in the nasty one piece. I always wear a long tank top under whatever i'm wearing just incase my top shirt rides up and someone sees my stretch marks. I'm sorry to sound so negative but this is honstly how I feel.

However, I can finally see the light. My ps's secretary has me scheduled in for the end of august 2011. I havn't been given an exact date yet. I can't wait. 15 years of hiding what I honstly consider to be my deformity will finally be gone.

I'll post some nasty before pics as soon as I have my exact date for surgery.

Yahoo!!  Bikini here she comes:) 

Welcome to the Tummy Tuck Club!   You are going to feel amazing once you have this done.  And you will probably be running around the house naked - with the lights on because you love the new tummy so much.

Good for you in taking this step.  I look forward to reading your posts and seeing those pictures:)

I would love to have a tummy tuck :) my partner wants to have more kids and im happy with just one.. Anyway all the best cant wait too see some pics

hi mum077...i had my daughter when i was 18 and i knew then that one was enough but i thought that maybe i was just too young to fully decide, however, i still feel the same way now and im 33. oh sure ive thrown the idea around over the years but ultimately i have no desire to have any more children. it's a terrible feeling to always be worried that someone might get a glimpse of my belly. i dont even lay out in a bikini when im alone even though i think tanned flab is better then white flab..lol..anyway im sooo excited to finally get rid of this baggage :)

Hey, thankyou for your reply, it good to know im not the only one that is happy with just one child.. I thought it may be because im so young but i really dont have any desire like urself to have another one.. My partner gets upset with me when i talk about getting a tummy tuck, So ill be wearing my tummy band for a few years to come id say lol.. All the best for your surgery.. keep us posted cant wait to see ur results :p

OMG..I totally feel you. Im a going to turn 30 this year at the end of August..my son is 9 and after having him my whole entire body went into shock...from the stretch marks to the flabby jelly belly tummy to the cellulite...its hard to find a sexy part on your body. Im right there with you on the sex with the lights off, OMG even when my bf and I lay together in bed in the SPOON position I cant stand when he touches my tummy I just imagine how gross it feels and how gross it looks when Im on my side. I cant stand lookin at my tummy in the mirror, it looks a hot mess. So i dont think your being negative you just know that this is nt the way it shoudl be. My mom had 5 kids..and she has lkike 3 stretch marks, I guess I got my dads genes when it comes to skin elasticity. Anyhooo, enough of the body bashing and Im super cited that you are gettin this done, and that you have a great support system. Its hard for others to understand how you feel when they dont have the same issue. Welp..lets keep in touch, would love to see your results :)

hi sommiebreez...yup, i know exactly what ya mean by not wanting to lay on your side....its like all of the skin just hangs down...so gross. my mom had 6 kids, including a full term set of twins and she doesnt have a mark on her...now thats a rip off...i mean yay for her and my sisters whom dont have any stretch marks either...but i dont understand what happened to my skin elasticity...anyway enough griping..bring on the tuck..lol..
