Hello,
I have a small frame (5'4 and 110lbs) and I gave birth to four large babies. I had a 50lb weight gain with each one. After 20 years of living with a deflated stretched out belly, I'm so ready to have this done! I'm also having a small breast augmentation with silicone. I breastfed for pretty much 5 years straight because my pregnancies were all very close together. I was left with barely there droopy A cups. I've been single for two years after a 22 yr marriage and I don't think I'd ever be comfortable letting any new partner see me naked with the way I look now . I don't expect to look like a Victoria Secret model, I just want to be put back together ????

I am glad I found your post . I also breastfeed for 5 years! My body changed so much after my first child, I really didn't believe that another baby could do much more damage . I was wrong. I have not yet scheduled .

It's amazing what pregnancy does to a body! I definitely wasn't one of those women who's body has great elasticity and snaps right back. Weight wasn't a problem, just stretched out skin. Have you gone for a consultation?

I am 5'2 and petite. 41 yrs old, 2 children via c-section. I also had a disc replacement surgery 3 years ago. Needless to say, my stomach was a mess so I totally get it. I had my drainless tt with flank lipo and muscle repair on July 20 making me 5 days po. Not gonna lie, I have an extremely high pain tolerance and this has been no walk in the park. I have heard lipo is what truly kicks you arse though. I slept the entire day I got home until the pain woke me up and I thought I was going to die. The next day and every day after, I have felt improvements. I'm actually impressed at how I can go from that kind of pain to this in just 5 days!
I didn't get boobs, my boobs are tolerable, for now.
At po day 5, I am beyond thrilled with my tummy. It's been 16 years since I've seen my lady bits lol. Tmi! But for real! All I dream about now is wearing all of those tops that hang in my closet bc they're too cute to get rid of but the embarrassment of my muffin top and mis-shapen stomach prevented me from wearing!
I'm excited for you and hope you have a speedy recovery. Not being able to stand up straight might be the worst of it, and that will come in time.
No regrets whatsoever! I wish you well in your journey to the flat side!!

Belly buttons

Anyone else worried about getting a weird looking button? I've seen some great ones and well, some not so great ones. This seems to be my greatest worry thus far. I do know my PS is using my own and just moving it. I hope he gets it right. Here are some pictures of the way I hope it turns out.
