WORTH IT$3,050

I still have quite a ways to wait still: 52 days on April 2. But I went and got my consultation and although the doctor said I could get amazing results from a full tummy tuck, he also said I would get great result from a mini tummy tuck, and I would perfer a mini for a variety of reasons. I don't really have a super excessive amout of skin, just enough to drive me insane but little enough that nobody else notices it unless I REALLY point it out. My husband thinks its ridiculous, but my mom and my 3 closest friends totally support me. After 2 kids I managed to lose all the weight, but of course, like everyone else, just some skin is left over. I'm 26 yrs old, 117 lbs and almost 5'3". I am REALLY hoping to wear a monokini this summer, something I never thought was ever going to be possible. Pics coming soon.

52 days will pass by before you know it. What is a monokini?

Congrats on your hard work losing the baby weight. A mini TT sounds perfect for you.

Please keep us posted. Looking forward to following along on your journey.

A monokini is technically a one piece, connected in the front, but is totally open in the back like a bikini. google it :) For those of us who don't quite have the courage for a 2 piece but don't want ur grandma's 1 piece.

Thank you! Will update as it gets closer!

I cannot believe my surgery is today!!! That 52 days flew by! We just moved a week ago so I hadn't really been thinking about it much. But I am today! Bought canned soup, spaghetti-os, and frozen pizzas for a couple days for the hubby to give to the girls. Lord knows he wont actually cook! Hope to be back cooking soon. I'm a really quick recoverer, so hopefully I will be again. Hope to check in this evening.
BTW, I'm not getting any lipo. I have nothing to lipo! I noticed most tt or mini tt have lipo done too, so for anyone wanting to know about a mini tt with NO lipo, this is it. Talk to you soon!
