I am 33. 5'8 155 lbs.I have always gained weight in my tummy and my legs are pretty skinny so it always looks like I'm pregnant. I get asked quite often and I'm always scared someone is going to ask whenever they look at me.

I know how you feel. I was asked more than once if I was pregnant when I wasn't. I always gain in my belly as well. This is a great place for support my before and afters are posted on here and I love my results. Tomorrow I will be exactly 3 weeks post op. If you click on my name to the left you can easily get to my posting. There are a lot of great ladies on here and everyone is always willing to give you a pep talk or advice.

Hi Nervous,

You're in good company here on RealSelf. There are lots of nervous (but brave) ladies and also many women who've gone through it and can offer great information.

If you haven't already check it out, you might want to read JenBob's article, 10 Things I Wish I'd Known Before A Mommy Makeover. It's packed with tips and is funny to boot.

Please keep us updated on your journey!

Hi Nervous
I am 4-1/2 weeks post op. My doctor is Jay Calvert in Newport Beach. Where is your PS located? Where are you having your procedure?

You're a lot younger than me, but the same otherwise- 5'8" and the day of surgery 156#. I looked pregnant too- just no muscles left after my big babies.

You'll be thrilled when you see how great this looks - and feels....i'm buying size 8 pants already! Unbelievable!

I can vouch for how Daffy173 looks, since I met her last week. She REALLY looks great. It is simply amazing! I hope we all can look as good as she does 6 weeks post-op. What an inspiration!
