WORTH IT$8,500

I am 33, 5'9" and 188 lbs. I've had 4 pregnancies. I gained and lost 40-60 lbs with each so needless to say, by abdominals and skin have been through hell.

My pre-op appt is 10-23 and I am scheduled for the OR on 11-5. I'm excited and nervous. I am an at home mom and my dear husband (who isn't thrilled with the idea) is ridiculously supportive of anything that makes me happy.

My PS recommended love handle lipo, I'm opting out of that, I strongly feel like love handles can be worked away. The loose skin was my main priority. I am very self conscious about the "beer belly" over my pants or the FUPA if I have sweats on :(

I will post "before" pictures this week :)

GUILT has taken over :( it's lessen by these words from my husband, "Look at what you put your body through to give us this beautiful family. You deserve this." I feel better already.

I just to tonight found I have an ingrown hair on my csection incision. I read a review of a woman who's PS refused to do the surgery because of this. YIKES my pre-op is in 2 days. PLEASE don't let this complicate things :( I'm putting peroxide on it every hour!

Yeah, wow! And your husband used just exactly the right words to say it, too! You might have to work out a long time to get rid of love handles, but yeah, if it's lipo-able, then it's workout-able. If you get your body-fat percentage down to a healthy 22% and they're still there, though, you could always revisit the idea of lipo (though it's also highly likely they are mostly skin at that point.) Good luck, and I look forward to sharing this journey with you...I'll be trailing along one day behind you :D.

While they might refuse, it seems overly cautious to me if they're going to be cutting away the old incision anyway? But I guess they have to be overly cautious because people can die during this kind of surgery. Are you going to ask your doctor? You've got two whole weeks to heal....
