I'm a youthful (lol) 61year old mother of twins. After my pregnancy (full term) my stomach looked like a deflated balloon. Have hated it ever since..probably like many of you who are reading this. I did lot's of research and chose Dr. Jugenburg based on his reputation and reviews. The clinic is in the Royal York hotel and everyone I have met has been super nice...especially Kim the nurse. I feel like we're besties now. Dr. Jugenburg is very professional and answered all of my questions with ease. I'm having a full TT with lipo on my flanks. I weigh 150 and would like to get that down to 138lbs. (5'6") I have been going to the gym 4 days a week for a year now so I'm in pretty good shape other than my stomach.

Hi there I had surgery in August for all the same reasons as you. I'm 53 and have wanted this from the birth of my son in 1981. I went on to have another 3 children and my tummy was YUK...... Just think by next year how fab you are going to look. So I hope the surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery xx

Thanks Sally ....how was your recovery? I keep reading that I should use a recliner for the first couple of days...did you? After taking a picture of my stomach this morning I couldn't believe that i've lived with this for so long...but there just never was the right time or $$...I used my Visa so i'm getting points...lol ...

Hi there is today the day...mind you im in England so there's the time difference. I was away in bulgaria when I had my tummy tuck and I could not find a recliner anywhere. So what I done was I used four pillows behind me. So I was partly sitting up. Then I left a space for my bottom to go and then piled up some cushions so that under my thighs was lifted right down to my feet. My recovery was a little different to what I had expected. I thought I would wake up with lots of pain but I woke up with none. So silly me I got up out of bed and stood straight . Now this is not the best thing to do as I pulled my stitches a little. Then It caused a few complications. It's all good now though. It was my own fault....so take heed lol. Just go get it done with confidence. I'm looking forward to seeing your outcome....good luck xx

Congrats on your decision! It's NEVER to late, check out azsunshine, she is your same age. I'm 52, and have had Breast reduction/lift and TT/MR and am SOOOO glad I did. You will be too. You're already working out and so your health is good. This surgery can be life changing I think. Best wishes for a safe surgery and speedy recovery. Keep us posted. :-DSuzy

I love that you took this picture and hope that you will take a few more today! I took gobs of pictures because It's just so amazing to see the transformation.....truly unbelievable! Don't know that I will ever need or want to but I'm going to have these pic's to show any nay sayers. I've already made my before and after (in the middle) purse pic's to show my darling son. He's a bit squeamish and I of course won't show him anything he shouldn't see although he will see a bra. hahaha, He was very quiet about my doing this and with this guy it translates into either worry of disapproval.....even his mother can't tell. Now that I'm okay and he sees that I'm going to be just fine I think he will be amazed at seeing the pics and have a good understanding of why I did it. I love seeing your before tummy and know that you are going to look absolutely fabulous!! The first three days are the most challenging........no pain at all for me, just being on the pain pills and mobility. It's gets better every single day after that. Keep positive and smile as much as you can to help anyone around you know that you are okay and rejoice in knowing that you are going to look so flippin good in your clothes and that you are going to wear the cutest undies!!! hugs and prayers Sweetie pie, you are going to be just fine!!

Thanks Poppie...now I can't believe that i've lived with this belly for so long...I am pretty good at hiding it. I'm 5'6" and 150lbs My target weight is 130 lbs. I've been working out really hard for the last year. Nothing more can be done b/f surgery... I will post some more b/f pic and def. after pic's...

Hi Movee, I also learned how to hide my huge hanging down belly for many years. I even wear those shapers to try to hold some of it in and of course loose fitting blouses. I also am 5'6' but weight about 175lbs and haven't been able to lose any. I hate to excercise but as you need the surgery desperately. Post before pictures front and side to side..............keep alot of pictures in an SD card just for that so you can compare. Send them when you can. I have to learn how to put pictures on here because plan to do a face lift first and then the tummy tuck and want to put the pictures of before and after here as well. You will do just great, I am an RN so if you need a shoulder I am here or can send you my email. Remember to get up and walk as soon as you can for blood clots and clear the lungs. Thanks so much for answering me.........

Hi Poppie...more pic's???? it made me sick to take that one!....lol ....but I will take some more today. It must be hard for nurses to lose weight since people are always bring in donuts, cakes etc. and shift work makes it hard to have any kind of routine. I love nurses...think they are angels sent to care for patients. Busy today getting last minute important things done (hairdressers) and flu shot. thanks again....:-)
