Mommy if two little amazing fellas, love them DON'T live this belly. My first pregnancy did me in. My oldest was 8.5lbs. I weighed 90lbs before getting pregnant and gained over 40. My second son was born 9 weeks early and weighed 4lbs. I didn't get near as big with him. Scheduled June 18th for full tt with muscle repair, been researching doctors for a year and I'm finally ready! I have loose skin, stretch marks and diastis recti. I'm small and don't have a lot of skin but my doctor seems confident that he can give me the results I'm after.

I am excited to follow your journey! I am very much like you. I weigh 98 pounds, and don't have a ton of extra skin…but I do have stretch marks and loose skin. I also think I have a little diastis recti. I won't be doing a tummy tuck soon, because I plan on having two more children, but I am interested to see what results would look like. It's kind of difficult sometimes to find someone with my same problems. I wish you the best! I hope it turns out to be everything you are hoping for! I am excited to see it…post pictures when you can:)

Ok so I'm staying to get a little nervous now, more about my husband and kids than anything else. I've prepped food and have been cleaning like a crazy lady! My husband has been just a little on edge with me lately, I don't want this to be something he'll resent me over. Our deal was he got a new truck and instead of me getting a new car this year I'd get a tummy tuck. I'm beginning to wonder if he's regretting that deal. I know he'll take care of me after, I'm not worried about that. I might just be too sensitive ( I've been known for that in the past lol) I don't really know what to do, I feel like there are a hundred things I should be getting done. I need to just try and relax I think, it gets harder to every day though.

Hi there! Although you are much skinnier than me... I was mostly sad about my stretch marks and loose skin as well. I still go back and fourth if this is the best decision for me. I wish you the best and can't wait to see your results! Best of luck!!

Ok so I'm running out if things to clean so I've been working out like a crazy person. I need to stop, I've been so sore, and I dont think that'll be a good thing after surgery! The thing I'm most nervous about is my two boys staying overnight at a family friend's house, they've never been away from home for the night..I seriously get anxious at the thought of it. Thinking of having someone watch my dogs, 110 lb great Dane and my 4 lb yorkie, they both think they're lap dogs and I don't want any accidents! Any advice as usual is always welcome.Thanks ladies
