I am 29 years old and have kids. Both of my children were delivered via C-Section. My first born was an emergency C-section and my second was a scheduled C-section. As you can imagine I had the protruding belly, a pooch, and saggy skin. I had a full tummy tuck done with lipo of the flanks and back. I am currently 8 days post-op and I am not sure how I feel about the operation...I haven't really seen the results.

Hi Kdavis1006. I am 21 weeks post op (had my surgery February 6). I too had two c-sections, first emergency and second scheduled. I had the saggy skin, protruding upper abdominals and the shelf - oh that dreaded hated shelf. The first couple of weeks are hard, you really aren't sure what to expect. I had one day where I was swollen and my belly button look so off centre I thought to myself oh my gosh what did I do, then the swelling went down and all was good again. I look at my belly now and feel super fantastic about my decision and I hope in time you will get there too. Do you have before and after pictures?

Hi Momof2Canada! That's so reassuring! I am now 12 days post op and I am feeling better each day! I do have before pictures but I haven't taken any after pics yet... I want to wait a month or so before I do that. I will post the before pics ASAP, I want to get the ones my Doc took. Thanks again for the encouragement!

I am 15 days post op. I'm wearing my compression garment at night and spanx during the day. I'm still a little hunched over and sore. I'm over this whole thing and I am anxious to go back to normal. I had a job interview for a promotion today and I am sure I didn't get it bc I look like an old lady walking lol ????. I just gotta keep reminding myself that it gets worse before it gets better. I'm still debating on wheather or not to post after pics bc I'm still swollen...???

Looking back at your early pictures after surgery will make you realize just how good you will look at the end result - I look back at my pictures now and think holy crap, did my belly look like that - funny I have forgotten already.
