OK so I've been stalking this site for months now and finally decided to share me story. By the way, coming here is like my new addiction..Pinterest who? Candy Crush ain't got nothing on this site! So I'm 37, 5'7 190lbs. I'm married and have 2 kids, ages 8 & 12. I feel like I'm writing a profile for harmony or something. Lol
I will post more when I take some photos because I know that's why I come on here.

Your post is the most informative of all those that I've read. Thank you for sharing your experience and showing your complications. I am 53, divorced, and the gym is not taking it off where I need it. I will gift myself to boost my confidence, and enjoy the latter part of my life.

Thank you so, so much for sharing your story. It was incredibly helpful. I just had debridement & will get a wound vac soon. How was your experience with it? I'm also troubled by the expense. How long did you have it? And you had a revision, is it 9 months post-op after the 1st one? Was that per your surgeon's recommendation and you used the same surgeon? What was the extra expense? I apologize, too many questions :) I hope you don't mind.

I am awed by your endurance & positivity & taking everything in stride. You look great! Any tips, recommendations, motivational words will help!

I cant believe its lets than 3 months away. I am quite emotional though. My best friend, who struggles with her weight constantly, makes me feel like im taking the easy way out. In some ways i am but in others im not. No matter how much weight i lose i still have my momma's pouch. It gets in the way of everything! And dh said "well i hope you dont put the weight back on". Im not doing it for weightloss. Im doing it to get a shape back. Look at my profile pic. That was me 20 yrs ago. I dont want to be that skinny again. I like being voluptuous. I wish i didnt say anything to anyone.

Welcome to the tummy tuckers:)

You are not taking the easy way out, that skin will not go away on it's own.  Sometimes we need a little help.  So move forward and be proud.  Looking forward to reading all about your journey.

Try to focus on what made you come here. I struggled for 22 years before making a difference in my appearance. I lost a significant amount of weight during a divorce and the sudden death of my father. The pooch and love handles didn't go anywhere. As much money as you're gonna end up spending on this, try to think of this as giving yourself a treat. You deserve it. Good luck!

So here's the damage

So you can get an idea of what im working with. When i was 19 had a breast reduction and lipo in my lower abdomen. I def needed the reduction but prob didnt need the lipo. The lipo ended up being a terrible decision. A lump formed above my belly button. I got it done by the Army so it was a lot harder to get seen. The ps told me to give it a year and the swelling would go down. Almost 20 yrs later the lump is still there. Even when i was 9 mo pg u could see the lump in my belly. It sits right above my pants waistline and makes me look like i have a muffin top. I have pull my pants up over to try to conceal in. I will be so glad to get rid of this thing!!

I have the same exact problem!!!I am saving to get a revision. Scary but I need it. He messed my tummy and put it off of proportion. My belly button was off to one side! He took too much skin off and caused more stretch Marks on my new skin. I am miserable. I feel for you.
