WORTH IT$12,500

I have put my deposit down and scheduled my Tummy Tuck for June 4th! I am so nervous and excited! After having my son 10 months ago I still look 5 months pregnant and get asked all the time "how far along are you". I am depressed constantly because of how my clothes fit and how my body looks. My son was 10lb 10oz and I am only 5' tall. My tummy was huge right before I delivered my son via C-section obviously because of his size. This caused a 3" gap between my abs that will not go away with exercise or dieting. I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight and work out at the gym but still have this huge tummy. I met with Dr Guerra in January to discuss a possible tummy tuck. He made me feel completely comfortable and examined my problem areas. He seems confident that I only need the tummy tuck and no lipo which is great! I booked my appointment in the next couple of weeks of meeting him. I am not scheduled until June which leaves a lot of time to think and worry but at the same time make me feel good about deciding on this surgery.

It's completely worth it to go through the tummy tuck with a great dr. I would question not contouring though with lipo. Best of luck.

Thank you! I am so nervous but reading through everyones experiences and how happy they are makes me feel excited. I will bring that up to him when I meet with his next.

i agree with that entirely. I think a tummy tuck needs to come with some Lipo. Other wise the skin will be off and the body will feel unbalanced.

When I did a lot of reading before mine, they said unless you're really tall the contours can't be created without the lipo. I had two holes from where they did the lipo before making the cuts for the surgery. It does take extra healing time with lipo and is more painful.

i have the same issue! I'm still saving for a tummy tuck but I can't wait!! I had twins they weighed a little over what your one baby weighed. I'm so short they did a number on my body. Good luck to you! Can't wait to see your results

I can't wait either! We really can't afford it too but my boyfriend is letting us use the tax refund to go towards it. He knows how unhappy I am and how hard it's been. He quickly changes the subject everytime someone approaches me asking me how pregnant I am.

I wish I could post what I look like lol I get asked the same questions! I think a tummy tuck is a blessing for women like us. Shopping for clothes is a nightmare!

Yes a nightmare and depressing! I used to like to shop. My wallet probably likes my big tummy though!

Mine too.. Lots of flowy clothes to take away from the belly and stretchy pants. Since my bottom is a size 7 but my belly is a size 13. You are going to love your results!! I know I will love mine!!

You have a tiny waste though!! That's going to add a nice look to you!! Our only difference is I'm Apple shaped. Lots of Lipo for me on the sides lol

shafq97411

March 13, 2015

Mine is the exact same. Bottom is a 5 and belly is an 11! I found a pair of jeans that actually fit both, FYI. They are American Eagle Outfitters and for some reason they work in a size 9 :)

I looked 6 months pregnant too. Worked out all the time with no avail. I just got a tummy tuck a week and a half ago and it looks 100% better. Good luck!

still so far away.......

I have been literally addictd to this website since I discovered it. I find my self reading other people's reviews and reults constantly. This makes me extremely nervous for the recovery but I know there is no dout that I want this procedure done. The majority of you lovely ladies seem to have stated it was worth it and I know I will be so much happier when I no longer look 5 months pregnant.

I booked my medical clearance appointment and spoke with my Dr's office today to inform them. Originally I was also going to get implants as well but I have changed my mind. Two reasons for this: 1.) I can't justify the extra expense and 2.) The only reason I am getting plastic surgery is to fix something that was severly damaged. I am very happy with my decision and think I will be just as happy with only having the TT done.

I know it's quite the countdown but 10 more weeks!

I have been busting my butt going to the gym at night after the kids are asleep and eating healthier. The doctor thought it would be best if I lost about 10lbs before my surgery as this will help with recovery. Plus I want to get my legs nice and strong to help lift me after surgery since no tummy muscles will be used for awhile. I am happy that I am losing weight but I am still so disgusted with my tummy and still look very pregnant. This all ensures that I have made the right decision to have this TT done. Knowing not much will get rid of this other than surgery and knowing I don't want to look this way anymore is all the motivation I need.

We have the SAME body type. Crazy to see! I am now almost a year PO and feeling fantastic. My apron bulged and draped just like yours. I can send before and after pics if you'd like. Definitely strengthen your legs, arms as well. Something to help walk to and from your recliner to go to the bathroom (I used a kid size chair as a walker). Make sure your garment is easy to use the bathroom in. When you get to the "swell hell" and "surgery blues" part of PO, hang in there!!! You won't regret it, your results will show-eventually. Swelling will go down too! Hmmm what else did I find helpful... Every day you literally feel better and better. 6 weeks PO is magical. So is 8wks. Compression garment is incredibly helpful and much needed for swelling and "core" strength. Super excited for you! What pushed me over the edge was when someone high fived me at the gym for working out at 8mo pregnant ((sad face)) it was either that or when my draping skin got snagged in a kitchen drawer :(

Thank you for all of this info! I just got a walker to help with the recovery and still need to purchase more stuff. Just waiting on my pre-op appointment next week! OMG it seems so close now!
