I've always liked working out and keeping my body fit. Got used to wearing whatever i wanted, and being happy with myself in a bikini.
After i had my baby girl, who born very big, i noticed my belly wasn't getting back in shape as in other friends or acquaintances. It had a bit of extra skin, but that never bored me much. The biggest problem was that it wasn't flat anymore, it was like i was still 4 months pregnant and i wasn't feeling nice in my clothes anymore, even after time passed by.
I came back to the gym 6 months after she was born, got everything toned again but my belly...no.
Then i started reading about it and found out i had a diastasis recti (why no one ever told me about it before lol?!) and with some exams i found the umbilical hernia too. I realized i needed a surgery to fix it, and no working out would bring my belly back.

Then i went to the doc who made my breast implants, cause i trust him. But it got me sooo frustrated. I was full of hopes since i was thin, and had just this little problem. But it didnt work this way, there i listened that i would need a full TT, to fix the skin above my belly button too and repair my muscles, a mini wouldn't be enough. And since i was thin, i wouldn't have enough skin to do it, so i would get a little vertical scar too, plus the belly button one. What? I thought "Wow, i don't know if i'll get more bored by the scars or the belly lol". Cause i know my skin is dark and scars usually don't get so invisible. I decided to think about it and spent another big time still feeling bad about myself and not excited about summer anymore till my hb supported me and insisted i should hear a second opinion. I wasn't much excited in the beginning since i really readed about that method and i knew my doc was very reasonable. But i went on another, just for an opinion.
Wow, it was the best thing i made! I didn't even tell about my first opinion in the beginning, and he gave me ther perfect solution, and said it was an easy thing!
He suggested me a mini TT, said he could fix the muscle yes, the hernia too, and without leaving any scars on my belly button, cause he would detach it from the muscle and fixate again just a bit lower, not needing to release it from skin. And my belly scar would be inside my tanline, perfect!

Well, i started running to get all the pre- operatory exams and booking it.
And today was the day!!!
Wanted to share it since i readed many stories in here and saw many pics too, and it helped me much. And to show that it's always good to hear as many opinions as you need, it's your body!
Not to mention about the ppl that sometimes says it's such a small problem to worry about, since you're not that overweight. If it bothers you, you have the right to change, and feel happy with yourself! :)

Omg I have the exact same problem!! Thin but have that belly that pops out and no exercise flattens it. I've had three c sections and I'm sure I have diastasis. I haven't had a consultation with surgeon yet but I've been looking into it. I'm so glad I read your post, gives me hope to only need a mini tummy tuck with muscle repair :)

Yes janolene, i also had a C-section, and only one pregnancy was enough to get me with the muscle problem. It's so frustrating hun, but sure, go for a consultation, try to find a doc who gets the closest possible to your expectations (cause sometimes we do have limitations and choices to make :/) and it's really possible that a mini TT may work for you too!
